Asan'ny Apostoly 13

1 Ary teo amin’ ny fiangonana tany Antiokia nisy mpaminany sy mpampianatra: Barnabasy sy Simeona, izay atao hoe Nigera, sy Losio Kyreniana sy Menahema (izay niolonono tamin’ i Heroda mpanapaka) ary Saoly.

Now there were certain prophets and teachers in the church that was at Antioch; Barnabas, and Simeon, who is called Niger, and Lucius of Cyrene, and Manaen, who was brought up with Herod the tetrarch, and Saul.

2 Ary raha nanao fanompoam-pivavahana ho an’ ny Tompo sy nifady hanina ireo, dia hoy ny Fanahy Masìna: Atokàny ho Ahy Barnabasy sy Saoly hanao ny asa izay efa niantsoako azy.

And while they were ministering to the Lord, and fasting, the Holy Spirit said: Set apart for me Barnabas and Saul, to the work to which I have called them.

3 Ary rehefa nifady hanina sy nivavaka ary nametra-tanana taminy izy, dia nandefa azy.

Then, after they had fasted and prayed, and laid their hands on them, they sent them away.

4 Ary rehefa nirahin’ ny Fanahy Masìna izy roa lahy, dia nidina nankany Seleokia izy ka niondrana an-tsambo teo hankany Kyprosy.

Therefore, having been sent forth by the Holy Spirit, they went down to Seleucia, and thence sailed to Cyprus.

5 Ary nony tonga tany Salamisy izy, dia nitory ny tenin’ Andriamanitra teny amin’ ny synagogan’ ny Jiosy; ary nitondra an’ i Jaona koa ho mpanampy azy izy.

And while they were in Salamis, they preached the word of God in the synagogue of the Jews; and they had John as their attendant.

6 Ary rehefa namaky ny nosy ka tonga tany Pafo izy, dia nahita Jiosy anankiray atao hoe Barjesosy, mpanao ody sady mpaminany sandoka,

And having gone through the island as far as Paphos, they found a certain magician, a Jewish false prophet, whose name was Bar-jesus;

7 izay nitoetra tao amin’ i Serygio Paolo, governoran’ ny tany sady lehilahy hendry; ary izy nampaka an’ i Barnabasy sy Saoly hankao aminy ka naniry mba hahare ny tenin’ Andriamanitra.

and he was with the proconsul, Sergius Paulus, who was a man of intelligence. This man called for Barnabas and Saul, and expressed an earnest wish to hear the word of God.

8 Fa Elyma, mpanao ody (fa izany no anarany, raha adika), nanohitra azy roa lahy sady nitady hampivily ny governora tsy hanaiky ny finoana.

But the magician Elymas (for this is his name, when translated) withstood them, desiring to turn away the proconsul from the faith.

9 Fa Saoly kosa, izay atao hoe koa Paoly, feno ny Fanahy Masìna, dia nibanjina azy

Then Saul, who is also called Paul, filled with the Holy Spirit, and looking earnestly upon him,

10 ka nanao hoe: Ialahy feno ny fitaka rehetra sy ny fahafetsena rehetra, ialahy zanaky ny devoly sady fahavalon’ ny fahamarinana rehetra, tsy hitsahatra tsy hamily ny lala-mahitsin’ ny Tompo va ialahy?

said: O full of all deceit and all wickedness, child of the devil, enemy of all righteousness, will you not cease to pervert the right ways of the Lord?

11 Ary, indro, ankehitriny ny tanan’ ny Tompo hamely an’ ialahy, dia ho jamba ialahy ka tsy hahita masoandro aloha. Dia latsaka tao aminy niaraka tamin’ izay ny mampanjambena sy ny aizina, ary niraparapa nitady olona hitantana azy izy.

And now, behold, the hand of the Lord is upon you, and you shall be blind, not seeing the sun for a season. And immediately there fell on him a mist and a darkness, and he went about and sought some to lead him by the hand.

12 Ary ny governora, nony nahita izay efa natao, dia nino sady talanjona tamin’ ny fampianaran’ ny Tompo.

Then the proconsul, seeing what was done, believed, being amazed at the teaching of the Lord.

13 Ary Paoly sy ny namany, rehefa niondrana an-tsambo niala avy tany Pafo, dia tonga tany Peryga any Pamfyha; fa Jaona nandao azy ka niverina nankany Jerosalema.

And Paul and his companions put to sea from Paphos, and went to Perga in Pamphylia. But John withdrew from them, and returned to Jerusalem.

14 Ary rehefa niala tany Peryga izy ireo, dia nandroso nankany Antiokia any Pisidia, dia niditra tao amin’ ny synagoga tamin’ ny andro Sabata ka nipetraka teo.

But having passed through from Perga, they came to Antioch in Pisidia; and on the sabbath-day they went into the synagogue, and sat down.

15 Ary rehefa vita ny famakiana ny lalàna sy ny mpaminany, ny mpanapaka ny synagoga dia nampilaza taminy ka nanao hoe: Ry rahalahy, raha misy fananarana hataonareo amin’ ny olona, dia ataovy.

After the reading of the law and the prophets, the rulers of the synagogue sent to them, saying: Brethren, if you have a word of exhortation for the people, speak.

16 Ary Paoly nitsangana, dia nanofa tanana azy ka nanao hoe: Ry lehilahy Isiraely sy ianareo izay matahotra an’ Andriamanitra, mihainoa;

Then Paul arose, and waving his hand, said: Men of Israel, and you who fear God, give audience.

17 Andriamanitr’ izao olona Isiraely izao efa nifidy ny razantsika ka nanandratra ny olona, raha nivahiny tany amin’ ny tany Egypta izy, ary sandry avo no nitondrany azy nivoaka avy tany.

The God of this people chose our fathers, and exalted the people when they sojourned in the land of Egypt, and with an uplifted arm he brought them out from it.

18 Ary Izy nandefitra tamin’ ny nataony tany an-efitra tokony ho efa-polo taona.

And for about forty years, he cherished them in the wilderness.

19 Ary rehefa nandrava firenena fito tany amin’ ny tany Kanana Izy, dia nampandovainy ny tanin’ ireny izy

And when he had destroyed seven nations in the land of Chanaan, he divided their land among them by lot.

20 tokony ho dimam-polo amby efa-jato taona; ary rehefa afaka izany, dia nomeny mpitsara izy hatramin’ i Samoela mpaminany.

And after that he gave them judges, for about four hundred and fifty years, till Samuel the prophet.

21 Ary rehefa afaka indray izany, dia nangataka mpanjaka izy; ka dia nomen’ Andriamanitra azy efa-polo taona Saoly, zanak’ i Kisy, lehilahy avy tamin’ ny firenen’ i Benjamina.

And afterward they asked for a king, and God gave them Saul the son of Kis, a man of the tribe of Benjamin, for forty years.

22 Ary rehefa nanaisotra an’ i Saoly Izy, dia nanandratra an’ i Davida ho mpanjakany sady nanambara azy hoe: Izaho nahita an’ i Davida, zanak’ i Jese, lehilahy araka ny foko, izay hanao ny sitrapoko rehetra.

And when he had removed him, he raised up David to be their king; to whom he gave this testimony: I have found David the son of Jesse a man after my own heart, who will do all my will.

23 Avy tamin’ ny taranak’ izany lehilahy izany no nitondran’ Andriamanitra an’ i Jesosy araka ny teny fikasana ho Mpamonjy ny Isiraely,

From the posterity of this man, God, according to his promise, raised up for Israel a Savior, Jesus;

24 rehefa notorin’ i Jaona tamin’ ny olona Isiraely rehetra aloha ny batisan’ ny fibebahana, fony tsy mbola tonga Izy.

John having first preached, before his coming, the immersion of repentance to all the people of Israel.

25 Ary Jaona, rehefa nadiva no nahatanteraka ny nalehany, dia nanao hoe: Ataonareo ho iza moa aho? Tsy Izy aho; fa, indro, misy Anankiray avy ao aoriako, ka izaho tsy miendrika hamaha ny kapa eo an-tongony akory.

And as John was finishing his course, he said: Who do you suppose that I am? I am not he; but behold, there is coming after me one, the sandals of whose feet I am not worthy to loose.

26 Ry rahalahy, taranak’ i Abrahama, sy izay rehetra eo aminareo matahotra an’ Andriamanitra, dia ho amintsika no nampitondrana ny tenin’ izao famonjena izao.

Brethren, sons of the family of Abraham, and those among you who fear God, to you is the word of this salvation sent.

27 Fa izay monina any Jerosalema sy ny loholony, satria tsy mba nahafantatra Azy, na ny feon’ ny mpaminany izay vakina isan-tSabata, dia nahatanteraka izany tamin’ ny nanamelohany Azy.

For those who dwell in Jerusalem, and their rulers, because they did not know him, nor the words of the prophets, which are read every sabbath-day, have fulfilled them in condemning him.

28 Ary na dia tsy hitany aza izay tokony hanamelohana Azy ho faty, dia nangataka tamin’ i Pilato ihany izy hamonoana Ary.

And though they found no cause of death, yet they demanded of Pilate that he should be slain.

29 Ary rehefa nahatanteraka izay rehetra voasoratra ny amin’ i Jesosy izy, dia nanaisotra Azy tamin’ ny hazo ka nandevina Azy tao am-pasana.

And when they had fulfilled all that was written of him, they took him down from the tree, and laid him in a sepulcher.

30 Fa Andriamanitra kosa nanangana Azy tamin’ ny maty.

But God raised him from the dead.

31 Ary Izy niseho andro maro tamin’ izay niara-niakatra taminy avy tany Galilia ho any Jerosalema, ka dia ireo no vavolombelony amin’ ny olona ankehitriny.

And he was seen for many days by those who came up with him from Galilee to Jerusalem, who are his witnesses to the people.

32 Ary izahay mitory ny filazantsara aminareo, dia ilay teny fikasana nolazaina tamin’ ny razana,

And we preach to you good news concerning the promise made to our fathers,

33 dia ny nahatanterahan’ Andriamanitra izany tamin’ ny zanatsika, raha nanangana an’ i Jesosy Izy, araka ny voasoratra eo amin’ ny Salamo faharoa hoe: Zanako Hianao, Izaho niteraka Anao androany.

that God has fulfilled the same to us, their children, by raising up Jesus, as it is written in the second Psalm: Thou art my Son, this day have I begotten thee.

34 Ary ny amin’ ny nananganany Azy tamin’ ny maty, ka tsy hiverina ho amin’ ny lò intsony Izy, dia izao no voalazany: Homeko anareo ny famindram-po mahatoky nampanantenaina an’ i Davida.

But that he raised him from the dead, no more to return to corruption, he has spoken thus: I will give you the sure mercies of David.

35 Fa hoy Izy ao amin’ ny Salamo hafa koa: Tsy hamela ny Iray Masinao ho tratry ny lò Hianao.

For which reason he says also in another Psalm: Thou wilt not suffer thy Holy One to see corruption.

36 Fa Davida, rehefa nahatanteraka ny sitrapon’ Andriamanitra hahasoa ny olona niara-belona taminy, dia nodi-mandry ka nangonina ho any amin’ ny razany izy ary tratry ny lò;

For David, after serving the purpose of God in his own generation, fell asleep, and was laid with his fathers, and saw corruption.

37 fa Izay natsangan’ Andriamanitra no tsy mba tratry ny lò.

But he whom God raised up did not see corruption.

38 Ary aoka ho fantatrareo, ry rahalahy, fa izany Lehilahy izany no itoriana famelan-keloka aminareo;

Be it known to you, therefore, brethren, that through this man is preached to you the remission of sins:

39 ary ao aminy no anamarinana izay rehetra mino ho afaka amin’ ny heloka rehetra izay tsy azo nanamarinana anareo tamin’ ny lalàn’ i Mosesy.

and by him, every one that believes is justified from all things, from which you could not be justified by the law of Moses.

40 Koa tandremo fandrao hihatra izay voalaza eo amin’ ny mpaminany hoe:

Take heed, therefore, lest that which is spoken in the prophets come upon you:

41 Izahaonareo mpamotsifotsy, dia gagà, ka levona; Fa Izaho manao asa amin’ ny andronareo, Dia asa izay tsy hinoanareo akory, na dia hisy hilaza aminareo aza

Behold, you despisers, and wonder, and perish. For I work a work in your days, a work which you will not believe, though one fully declare it to you.

42 Ary rehefa nivoaka izy, dia nangatahiny holazaina aminy indray izany teny izany amin’ ny Sabata manaraka.

And as they were departing from the synagogue, they were requested to speak these things to them on the next sabbath.

43 Ary rehefa nirava ny fiangonana, dia maro tamin’ ny Jiosy sy ny proselyta izay nanompo an’ Andriamanitra no nanaraka an’ i Paoly sy Barnabasy, izay niteny taminy ka namporisika azy haharitra amin’ ny fahasoavan’ Andriamanitra.

Now, after the congregation was dismissed, many of the Jews and religious proselytes followed Paul and Barnabas, who spoke to them, and persuaded them to continue faithful to the grace of God.

44 Ary nony tamin’ ny Sabata manaraka, dia saiky tafangona avokoa ny tao an-tanàna hihaino ny tenin’ Andriamanitra.

And on the next sabbath-day, almost the whole city met together to hear the word of God.

45 Nefa ny Jiosy kosa, raha nahita ny vahoaka betsaka, dia feno fialonana ka nanohitra ny teny nolazain’ i Paoly, sady niteny ratsy.

But when the Jews saw the multitudes, they were filled with envy, and spoke against those things which were spoken by Paul, contradicting and reviling.

46 Ary Paoly sy Barnabasy dia niteny tamin’ ny fahasahiana ka nanao hoe: Hianareo no tsy maintsy nitoriana ny tenin’ Andriamanitra aloha; fa rehefa mandà izany ianareo ka manao ny tenanareo ho tsy miendrika hahazo fiainana mandrakizay, dia indro, mitodika mankany amin’ ny jentilisa izahay; (aiōnios g166)

But Paul and Barnabas, speaking boldly, said: It was necessary that the word of God should be spoken to you first: but since you reject it, and judge yourselves unworthy of eternal life, lo! we turn to tho Gentiles. (aiōnios g166)

47 fa izao no nandidian’ ny Tompo anay: Efa nanendry Anao ho fahazavan’ ny jentilisa Aho, Mba ho famonjena hatrany amin’ ny faran’ ny tany Hianao.

For thus has the Lord given us commandment: I have placed thee for a light to the Gentiles, that thou mayest be for salvation to the most distant part of the earth.

48 Ary rehefa nandre izany ny jentilisa, dia faly izy ka nankalaza ny tenin’ Andriamanitra; ary izay voalahatra ho amin’ ny fiainana mandrakizay dia nino. (aiōnios g166)

When the Gentiles heard this they rejoiced, and glorified the word of the Lord; and as many as were determined to obtain eternal life, believed. (aiōnios g166)

49 Ary ny tenin’ ny Tompo dia naely eran’ izany tany rehetra izany.

And the word of the Lord was published throughout the whole of that region.

50 Fa ny Jiosy nampitaitra ny vehivavy manan-kaja izay nivavaka sy ny lehibe tao an-tanàna, dia nahatonga fanenjehana tamin’ i Paoly sy Barnabasy ireny ka nandroaka azy niala tamin’ ny taniny.

But the Jews in cited the devout and influential women, and the first men of the city, and raised a persecution against Paul and Barnabas, and expelled them from their borders.

51 Fa izy roa lahy kosa nanintsana ny vovoka tamin’ ny tongony hiampanga ireo, dia nankany Ikonioma.

But they shook off the dust from their feet against them, and went to Iconium.

52 Ary dia feno fifaliana sy ny Fanahy Masìna ny mpianatra.

And the disciples were filled with joy and the Holy Spirit.
