Asan'ny Apostoly 15
1 Ary ny olona sasany izay nidina avy tany Jodia nampianatra ny rahalahy hoe: Raha tsy forana araka ny fanaon’ i Mosesy ianareo, dia tsy azo vonjena.
Then some men came down from Judea and were teaching the brothers, “Unless you are circumcised according to the custom of Moses, you cannot be saved.”
2 Ary rehefa nifanditra sy niady hevitra be ihany tamin’ ireo Paoly sy Barnabasy, dia nifanarahana ny hiakaran’ izy roa lahy sy ny sasany koa hankany Jerosalema ho any amin’ ny Apostoly sy ny loholona hanadina izany teny niadian-kevitra izany.
And after engaging these men in sharp debate, Paul and Barnabas were appointed, along with some other believers, to go up to Jerusalem to see the apostles and elders about this question.
3 Ary rehefa nanatitra azy ny fiangonana, dia nandeha namaky an’ i Foinika sy Samaria izy ka nilaza ny niovan’ ny jentilisa; dia nampifaly ny rahalahy rehetra indrindra izy.
Sent on their way by the church, they passed through Phoenicia and Samaria, recounting the conversion of the Gentiles and bringing great joy to all the brothers.
4 Ary rehefa tonga tany Jerosalema izy, dia noraisin’ ny fiangonana sy ny Apostoly ary ny loholona, ka dia nilaza izay rehetra efa nataon’ Andriamanitra tamin’ ny nombany azy.
On their arrival in Jerusalem, they were welcomed by the church and apostles and elders, to whom they reported all that God had done through them.
5 Fa ny mino sasany, izay isan’ ny antokon’ ny Fariseo kosa, dia nitsangana ka nanao hoe: Tsy maintsy forana ireny ka asaina mitandrina ny lalàn’ i Mosesy.
But some believers from the party of the Pharisees stood up and declared, “The Gentiles must be circumcised and required to obey the law of Moses.”
6 Ary dia nivory ny Apostoly sy ny loholona mba hihevitra izany zavatra izany.
So the apostles and elders met to look into this matter.
7 Ary rehefa nisy ady hevitra be ihany, dia nitsangana Petera ka nanao taminy hoe: Ry rahalahy, fantatrareo fa hatramin’ ny ela Andriamanitra dia efa nifidy teo aminareo fa amin’ ny vavako no handrenesan’ ny jentilisa ny tenin’ ny filazantsara ka hinoany.
After much discussion, Peter got up and said to them, “Brothers, you know that in the early days God made a choice among you that the Gentiles would hear from my lips the message of the gospel and believe.
8 Ary Andriamanitra, Izay mahalala ny fo, dia vavolombelony tamin’ ny nanomezany azy ny Fanahy Masìna tahaka antsika koa;
And God, who knows the heart, showed His approval by giving the Holy Spirit to them, just as He did to us.
9 fa tsy nataony misy hafa isika sy izy, fa nodioviny tamin’ ny finoana ny fony.
He made no distinction between us and them, for He cleansed their hearts by faith.
10 Koa nahoana ianareo no maka fanahy an’ Andriamanitra amin’ ny fametrahanareo zioga amin’ ny vozon’ ny mpianatra, izay tsy zakan’ ny razantsika na isika ho entina?
Now then, why do you test God by placing on the necks of the disciples a yoke that neither we nor our fathers have been able to bear?
11 Fa mino isika fa ny fahasoavan’ i Jesosy Tompo no hamonjena antsika, dia tahaka ny azy ihany koa.
On the contrary, we believe it is through the grace of the Lord Jesus that we are saved, just as they are.”
12 Dia nangina ny olona rehetra ka nihaino an’ i Barnabasy sy Paoly, izay nilaza ny famantarana sy ny fahagagana nampanaovin’ Andriamanitra azy tany amin’ ny jentilisa.
The whole assembly fell silent as they listened to Barnabas and Paul describing the signs and wonders God had done among the Gentiles through them.
13 Ary rehefa nitsahatra tsy niteny izy roa lahy, dia namaly Jakoba ka nanao hoe: Ry rahalahy, mihainoa ahy:
When they had finished speaking, James declared, “Brothers, listen to me!
14 Simeona efa nanambara izay nitsinjovan’ Andriamanitra ny jentilisa tamin’ ny voalohany hanalany olona aminy hankalazana ny anarany.
Simon has told us how God first visited the Gentiles to take from them a people to be His own.
15 Ary mifanaraka amin’ izany ny tenin’ ny mpaminany, araka ny voasoratra hoe:
The words of the prophets agree with this, as it is written:
16 Rehefa afaka izany, dia hiverina Aho Ka hanangana ny trano-lain’ i Davida izay efa nianjera; Ary hanangana izay efa rava ao Aho Ka hanamboatra azy indray;
‘After this I will return and rebuild the fallen tent of David. Its ruins I will rebuild, and I will restore it,
17 Mba hitady ny Tompo ny olona sisa sy ny jentilisa rehetra, Izay efa niantsoana ny anarako, hoy Jehovah,
so that the remnant of men may seek the Lord, and all the Gentiles who are called by My name, says the Lord who does these things
that have been known for ages.’ (aiōn g165)
19 Koa dia izao no hevitro: Tsy mety raha isika manome fahasahiranana ny avy amin’ ny jentilisa izay miverina ho amin’ Andriamanitra;
It is my judgment, therefore, that we should not cause trouble for the Gentiles who are turning to God.
20 fa aoka hanoratra epistily aminy isika mba hifadiany ny hena fahavetavetana aterina amin’ ny sampy sy ny fijangajangana ary ny zavatra kendaina sy ny rà.
Instead, we should write and tell them to abstain from food polluted by idols, from sexual immorality, from the meat of strangled animals, and from blood.
21 Fa hatramin’ ny razana fahiny dia manana izay mitory azy ao amin’ ny isan-tanàna Mosesy, fa vakina ao amin’ ny synagoga rehetra isan-tSabata ny teniny.
For Moses has been proclaimed in every city from ancient times and is read in the synagogues on every Sabbath.”
22 Ary sitraky ny Apostoly sy ny loholona mbamin’ ny fiangonana rehetra ny hifidy olona amin’ ny namany mba hirahina hiaraka amin’ i Paoly sy Barnabasy hankany Antiokia, dia Joda, izay atao hoe Barnabasy, sy Silasy, izay lehilahy samy tsara laza eo amin’ ny rahalahy;
Then the apostles and elders, with the whole church, decided to select men from among them to send to Antioch with Paul and Barnabas. They chose Judas called Barsabbas and Silas, two leaders among the brothers,
23 ary nanoratra taratasy izy ho entin’ ireo, dia izao: Ny Apostoly sy ny rahalahy loholona miarahaba ny rahalahy avy amin’ ny jentilisa izay any Antiokia sy Syria ary Kilikia.
and sent them with this letter: The apostles and the elders, your brothers, To the brothers among the Gentiles in Antioch, Syria, and Cilicia: Greetings.
24 Satria efa renay fa ny sasany izay avy tany aminay efa nanao teny nampitabataba anareo ka namadika ny sainareo, kanefa tsy nasainay nanao izany izy,
It has come to our attention that some went out from us without our authorization and unsettled you, troubling your minds by what they said.
25 dia sitrakay, rehefa nifanara-kevitra, ny hifidy olona hirahina hankatỳ aminareo hiaraka amin’ i Barnabasy sy Paoly malalanay,
So we all agreed to choose men to send to you along with our beloved Barnabas and Paul,
26 lehilahy izay nanao ny ainy tsy ho zavatra ho voninahitry ny anaran’ i Jesosy Kristy Tompontsika.
men who have risked their lives for the name of our Lord Jesus Christ.
27 Dia nirahinay Joda sy Silasy, sady hilaza vava izany teny izany koa izy.
Therefore we are sending Judas and Silas to tell you in person the same things we are writing.
28 Fa sitraky ny Fanahy Masìna sy izahay tsy hampitondra enta-mavesatra anareo afa-tsy izao zavatra tsy maintsy hotandremana izao ihany:
It seemed good to the Holy Spirit and to us not to burden you with anything beyond these essential requirements:
29 dia ny hifadianareo ny hena aterina amin’ ny sampy sy ny rà sy ny zavatra kendaina ary ny fijangajangana; raha mahatandrin-tena hifady izany ianareo, dia ho soa. Veloma ianareo.
You must abstain from food sacrificed to idols, from blood, from the meat of strangled animals, and from sexual immorality. You will do well to avoid these things. Farewell.
30 Ary rehefa nalefany izy ireo, dia nidina nankany Antiokia; ary namory ny olona maro izy, dia natolony ilay epistily.
So the men were sent off and went down to Antioch, where they assembled the congregation and delivered the letter.
31 Ary nony efa namaky izany ny olona, dia nifaly noho ny anatra tsara.
When the people read it, they rejoiced at its encouraging message.
32 Ary satria mpaminany Joda sy Silasy, dia namporisika ny rahalahy tamin’ ny teny maro izy ka nampahery azy.
Judas and Silas, who themselves were prophets, said much to encourage and strengthen the brothers.
33 Ary rehefa nitoetra elaela teo izy ireo, dia nampandehanin’ ny rahalahy soa aman-tsara ho any amin’ izay naniraka azy.
After spending some time there, they were sent off by the brothers in peace to return to those who had sent them.
35 Ary Paoly sy Barnabasy kosa nitoetra tany Antiokia; dia nampianatra sy nitory ny tenin’ ny Tompo izy roa lahy mbamin’ ny maro koa.
But Paul and Barnabas remained at Antioch, along with many others, teaching and preaching the word of the Lord.
36 Ary rehefa afaka andro vitsivitsy, dia hoy Paoly tamin’ i Barnabasy: Andeha isika hiverina hamangy ny rahalahy any amin’ ny tanàna rehetra izay efa nitoriantsika ny tenin’ ny Tompo, hahitantsika izay toetrany.
Some time later Paul said to Barnabas, “Let us go back and visit the brothers in every town where we proclaimed the word of the Lord, to see how they are doing.”
37 Ary tian’ i Barnabasy ny hitondra an’ i Jaona, izay atao hoe Marka, hiaraka aminy.
Barnabas wanted to take John, also called Mark.
38 Nefa nataon’ i Paoly fa tsy tokony ho entiny miaraka aminy izy, satria nandao azy tany Pamfylia ka tsy niaraka taminy ho any amin’ ny raharaha.
But Paul thought it best not to take him, because he had deserted them in Pamphylia and had not accompanied them in the work.
39 Ary nifanditra mafy izy roa lahy ka nisaraka; ary Barnabasy nitondra an’ i Marka, dia niondrana an-tsambo nankany Kyprosy.
Their disagreement was so sharp that they parted company. Barnabas took Mark and sailed for Cyprus,
40 Fa Paoly kosa nifidy an’ i Silasy, dia niainga, rehefa natolotry ny rahalahy ho amin’ ny fahasoavan’ ny Tompo izy.
but Paul chose Silas and left, commended by the brothers to the grace of the Lord.
41 Dia nandeha namaky an’ i Syria sy Kilikia izy nampahery ny fiangonana tany.
And he traveled through Syria and Cilicia, strengthening the churches.
