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 came downe certaine from Iudea, and taught the brethren, saying, Except ye be circumcised after the maner of Moses, ye cannot be saued.
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 when there was great dissension, and disputation by Paul and Barnabas against them, they ordeyned that Paul and Barnabas, and certaine other of them, should goe vp to Hierusalem vnto 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.
Thus being brought forth by ye Church, they passed through Phenice and Samaria, declaring the conuersion of the Gentiles, and they brought great ioy vnto all the brethren.
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.
And when they were come to Hierusalem, they were receiued of the Church, and of the Apostles and Elders, and they declared what things God had done by 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 said they, certaine of the sect of the Pharises, which did beleeue, rose vp, saying, that it was needefull to circumcise them, and to commaund them to keepe the lawe of Moses.
6 Ary dia nivory ny Apostoly sy ny loholona mba hihevitra izany zavatra izany.
Then the Apostles and Elders came together to looke to 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.
And when there had bene great disputation, Peter rose vp, and said vnto them, Ye men and brethren, ye know that a good while ago, among vs God chose out me, that the Gentiles by my mouth should heare the worde of the Gospel, and beleeue.
8 Ary Andriamanitra, Izay mahalala ny fo, dia vavolombelony tamin’ ny nanomezany azy ny Fanahy Masìna tahaka antsika koa;
And God which knoweth the heartes, bare them witnesse, in giuing vnto them ye holy Ghost euen as he did vnto vs.
9 fa tsy nataony misy hafa isika sy izy, fa nodioviny tamin’ ny finoana ny fony.
And he put no difference betweene vs and them, after that by faith he had purified their heartes.
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?
Nowe therefore, why tempt ye God, to lay a yoke on the disciples neckes, which neither our fathers, nor we were able to beare?
11 Fa mino isika fa ny fahasoavan’ i Jesosy Tompo no hamonjena antsika, dia tahaka ny azy ihany koa.
But we beleeue, through the grace of the Lord Iesus Christ to be saued, euen as they doe.
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.
Then all the multitude kept silence, and heard Barnabas and Paul, which told what signes and wonders God had done among the Gentiles by them.
13 Ary rehefa nitsahatra tsy niteny izy roa lahy, dia namaly Jakoba ka nanao hoe: Ry rahalahy, mihainoa ahy:
And when they helde their peace, Iames answered, saying, Men and brethren, hearken vnto me.
14 Simeona efa nanambara izay nitsinjovan’ Andriamanitra ny jentilisa tamin’ ny voalohany hanalany olona aminy hankalazana ny anarany.
Simeon hath declared, howe God first did visite the Gentiles, to take of them a people vnto his Name.
15 Ary mifanaraka amin’ izany ny tenin’ ny mpaminany, araka ny voasoratra hoe:
And to this agree the woordes of the Prophets, 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 returne, and will builde againe the tabernacle of Dauid, which is fallen downe, and the ruines thereof will I build againe, and I will set it vp,
17 Mba hitady ny Tompo ny olona sisa sy ny jentilisa rehetra, Izay efa niantsoana ny anarako, hoy Jehovah,
That the residue of men might seeke after the Lord, and all the Gentiles vpon whom my Name is called, saith the Lord which doeth all these things.
From the beginning of the worlde, God knoweth all his workes. (aiōn g165)
19 Koa dia izao no hevitro: Tsy mety raha isika manome fahasahiranana ny avy amin’ ny jentilisa izay miverina ho amin’ Andriamanitra;
Wherefore my sentence is, that we trouble not them of the Gentiles that are turned 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.
But that we send vnto them, that they abstaine themselues from filthinesse of idoles, and fornication, and that that is strangled, 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 of olde time hath in euery citie them that preache him, seeing he is read in the Synagogues euery Sabbath day.
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 it seemed good to the Apostles and Elders with the whole Church, to sende chosen men of their owne companie to Antiochia with Paul and Barnabas: to wit, Iudas whose surname was Barsabas and Silas, which were chiefe men among the brethren,
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 wrote letters by them after this maner, THE APOSTLES, and the Elders, and the brethren, vnto the brethren which are of the Gentiles in Antiochia, and in Syria, and in Cilicia, send greeting.
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,
Forasmuch as we haue heard, that certaine which went out from vs, haue troubled you with wordes, and cumbred your mindes, saying, Ye must be circumcised and keepe the Lawe: to whom we gaue no such commandement,
25 dia sitrakay, rehefa nifanara-kevitra, ny hifidy olona hirahina hankatỳ aminareo hiaraka amin’ i Barnabasy sy Paoly malalanay,
It seemed therefore good to vs, when we were come together with one accord, to send chosen men vnto you, with our beloued Barnabas and Paul,
26 lehilahy izay nanao ny ainy tsy ho zavatra ho voninahitry ny anaran’ i Jesosy Kristy Tompontsika.
Men that haue giuen vp their liues for the Name of our Lord Iesus Christ.
27 Dia nirahinay Joda sy Silasy, sady hilaza vava izany teny izany koa izy.
We haue therefore sent Iudas and Silas, which shall also tell you ye same things by mouth.
28 Fa sitraky ny Fanahy Masìna sy izahay tsy hampitondra enta-mavesatra anareo afa-tsy izao zavatra tsy maintsy hotandremana izao ihany:
For it seemed good to the holy Ghost, and to vs, to lay no more burden vpon you, then these necessary things,
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.
That is, that ye abstaine from things offered to idoles, and blood, and that that is strangled, and from fornication: from which if ye keepe your selues, ye shall doe well. Fare ye well.
30 Ary rehefa nalefany izy ireo, dia nidina nankany Antiokia; ary namory ny olona maro izy, dia natolony ilay epistily.
Nowe when they were departed, they came to Antiochia, and after that they had assembled the multitude, they deliuered the Epistle.
31 Ary nony efa namaky izany ny olona, dia nifaly noho ny anatra tsara.
And when they had read it, they reioyced for the consolation.
32 Ary satria mpaminany Joda sy Silasy, dia namporisika ny rahalahy tamin’ ny teny maro izy ka nampahery azy.
And Iudas and Silas being Prophets, exhorted the brethren with many wordes, and strengthened them.
33 Ary rehefa nitoetra elaela teo izy ireo, dia nampandehanin’ ny rahalahy soa aman-tsara ho any amin’ izay naniraka azy.
And after they had taried there a space, they were let goe in peace of the brethren vnto the Apostles.
Notwithstanding Silas thought good to abide there still.
35 Ary Paoly sy Barnabasy kosa nitoetra tany Antiokia; dia nampianatra sy nitory ny tenin’ ny Tompo izy roa lahy mbamin’ ny maro koa.
Paul also and Barnabas continued in Antiochia, teaching and preaching with many other, the worde 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.
But after certaine dayes, Paul said vnto Barnabas, Let vs returne, and visite our brethren in euery citie, where we haue preached the worde of the Lord, and see how they doe.
37 Ary tian’ i Barnabasy ny hitondra an’ i Jaona, izay atao hoe Marka, hiaraka aminy.
And Barnabas counselled to take with them Iohn, called Marke.
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 not meete to take him vnto their companie, which departed from them from Pamphylia, and went not with them to the worke.
39 Ary nifanditra mafy izy roa lahy ka nisaraka; ary Barnabasy nitondra an’ i Marka, dia niondrana an-tsambo nankany Kyprosy.
Then were they so stirred, that they departed asunder one from the other, so that Barnabas tooke Marke, and sailed vnto Cyprus.
40 Fa Paoly kosa nifidy an’ i Silasy, dia niainga, rehefa natolotry ny rahalahy ho amin’ ny fahasoavan’ ny Tompo izy.
And Paul chose Silas and departed, being commended of the brethren vnto the grace of God.
41 Dia nandeha namaky an’ i Syria sy Kilikia izy nampahery ny fiangonana tany.
And he went through Syria and Cilicia, stablishing the Churches.
