Asan'ny Apostoly 2
1 Ary nony tonga ny Andro Pentekosta, dia teo amin’ ny fitoerana iray izy rehetra.
At length, on the day of the Harvest Festival, they had all met in one place;
2 Ary nisy feo tonga tampoka avy tany an-danitra, toy ny rivotra mahery mifofofofo, ka nanenika ilay trano niangonany.
when suddenly there came from the sky a sound as of a strong rushing blast of wind. This filled the whole house where they were sitting;
3 Ary nisy lela maro mitarehin’ afo niseho taminy, izay nizarazara; ary nipetraka tamin’ izy rehetra isan-olona izany.
and they saw tongues of what looked like fire distributing themselves over the assembly, and on the head of each person a tongue alighted.
4 Ary samy feno ny Fanahy Masìna izy rehetra, ka dia niteny tamin’ ny fiteny maro samy hafa, araka ny nampitenenan’ ny Fanahy Masìna azy.
They were all filled with the Holy Spirit, and began to speak in foreign languages according as the Spirit gave them words to utter.
5 Ary nisy Jiosy, mpivavaka tsara, nitoetra tany Jerosalema, avy tany amin’ ny firenena samy hafa rehetra ambanin’ ny lanitra.
Now there were Jews residing in Jerusalem, devout men from every part of the world.
6 Ary nony re izany feo izany, dia niangona ny olona maro ka very hevitra, fa samy nahare azy ireo niteny tamin’ ny fiteniny avy izy rehetra.
So when this noise was heard, they came crowding together, and were amazed because everyone heard his own language spoken.
7 Dia talanjona sady gaga izy rehetra ka nanao hoe: Indreo, tsy Galiliana va ireo rehetra miteny ireo?
They were beside themselves with wonder, and exclaimed, "Are not all these speakers Galilaeans?
8 Koa ahoana no andrenesantsika amin’ ny fitenintsika avy izay nahabe antsika
How then does each of us hear his own native language spoken by them?
9 ― dia Partiana sy Mediana sy Elamita, ary mponina any Mesopotamia, sy Jodia sy Kapadokia sy Ponto sy Asia
Some of us are Parthians, Medes, Elamites. Some are inhabitants of Mesopotamia, of Judaea or Cappadocia, of Pontus or the Asian Province, of Phrygia or Pamphylia,
10 sy Frygia sy Pamfylia, sy Egypta sy ny tany Libya izay manodidina an’ i Kyrena, ary vahiny avy any Roma, na Jiosy na proselyta,
of Egypt or of the parts of Africa towards Cyrene. Others are visitors from Rome--being either Jews or converts from heathenism--and others are Cretans or Arabians.
11 Kretana sy Arabo ― koa ahoana no andrenesantsika ireo miteny amin’ ny fitenintsika avy ny asa lehibe ataon’ Andriamanitra?
Yet we all alike hear these Galilaeans speaking in our own language about the wonderful things which God has done."
12 Dia talanjona izy rehetra ka niahanahana sady niresaka hoe: Ahoana no tokony ho hevitr’ izany?
They were all astounded and bewildered, and asked one another, "What can this mean?"
13 Fa ny sasany nihomehy ka nanao hoe: Leon-divay mamy ireo.
But others, scornfully jeering, said, "They are brim-full of sweet wine."
14 Fa nitsangana Petera sy ny iraika ambin’ ny folo lahy, dia nanandra-peo izy ka nanao taminy hoe: Ry lehilahy Jiosy sy izay rehetra monina eto Jerosalema, aoka ho fantatrareo izao, ka henoy ny teniko:
Peter however, together with the Eleven, stood up and addressed them in a loud voice. "Men of Judaea, and all you inhabitants of Jerusalem," he said, "be in no uncertainty about this matter but pay attention to what I say.
15 Tsy mamo araka ny hevitrareo tsy akory ireo, fa vao ora fahatelo ihany izao ny andro.
For this is not intoxication, as you suppose, it being only the third hour of the day.
16 Fa izao ilay nampilazaina an’ i Joela mpaminany hoe:
But that which was predicted through the Prophet Joel has happened:
17 Ary amin’ ny andro farany, hoy Andriamanitra, No handatsahako ny Fanahiko amin’ ny nofo rehetra; Ary ny zanakalahinareo sy ny zanakavavinareo haminany, Ary ny zatovonareo hahita fahitana, Ary ny lahiantitrareo hanonofy;
"And it shall come to pass in the last days, God says, that I will pour out My Spirit upon all mankind; and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, and your young men shall see visions, and your old men shall have dreams;
18 Ary ny mpanompoko, na lahy na vavy, Dia handatsahako ny Fanahiko amin’ izany andro izany, Ka dia haminany izy;
and even upon My bondservants, both men and women, at that time, I will pour out My Spirit, and they shall prophesy.
19 Ary hanisy fahagagana eny amin’ ny lanitra ambony Aho sy famantarana amin’ ny tany ambany, Dia rà sy afo ary zavon’ ny setroka;
I will display marvels in the sky above, and signs on the earth below, blood and fire, and pillars of smoke.
20 Ny masoandro hampodina ho aizina, Ary ny volana ho rà, Alohan’ ny hahatongavan’ ny andron’ i Jehovah, Dia ilay sady lehibe no malaza;
The sun shall be turned into darkness and the moon into blood, to usher in the day of the Lord-- that great and illustrious day;
21 Ary na zovy na zovy no hiantso ny anaran’ i Jehovah dia hovonjena.
and every one who calls on the name of the Lord shall be saved.'
22 Ry lehilahy Isiraely, mihainoa izao teny izao: Jesosy avy any Nazareta, lehilahy nasehon’ Andriamanitra teo aminareo tamin’ ny asa lehibe sy ny fahagagana ary ny famantarana izay nampanaovin’ Andriamanitra Azy teo aminareo, tahaka ny fantatrareo ihany,
"Listen, Israelites, to what I say. Jesus, the Nazarene, a man accredited to you from God by miracles and marvels and signs which God did among you through Him, as you yourselves know, Him--
23 Izy efa natolotra araka ny saina niniana sy ny fahalalan’ Andriamanitra rahateo, dia nohomboanareo sy novonoinareo tamin’ ny tanan’ ny olona tsy tan-dalàna;
delivered up through God's settled purpose and foreknowledge--you by the hands of Gentiles have nailed to a cross and have put to death.
24 fa Andriamanitra nanangana Azy, rehefa nahafaka ny fanaintainan’ ny fahafatesana, satria tsy laitr’ izany hohazonina Izy.
But God has raised Him to life, having terminated the throes of death, for in fact it was not possible for Him to be held fast by death.
25 Fa Davida milaza Azy hoe: Nijery an’ i Jehovah teo anatrehako mandrakariva aho; Satria eo ankavanako Izy, mba tsy hangozohozo aho,
For David says in reference to Him, "'I constantly fixed my eyes upon the Lord, because He is at my right hand in order that I may continue unshaken.
26 Dia izany no nifalian’ ny foko sy niravoravoan’ ny lelako; Ny nofoko koa hitoetra amin’ ny fanantenana;
For this reason my heart is glad and my tongue exults. My body also shall rest in hope.
27 Fa tsy ho foinao ho any amin’ ny fiainan-tsi-hita ny aiko; Ary tsy hamela ny Iray Masinao ho tratry ny lò Hianao; (Hadēs g86)
For Thou wilt not leave me in the Unseen World forsaken, nor give up Thy holy One to undergo decay. (Hadēs g86)
28 Nampahafantatra ahy ny lalan’ aina Hianao; Hampifaly ahy indrindra amin’ ny tavanao.
Thou hast made known to me the ways of Life: Thou wilt fill me with gladness in Thy presence.'
29 Ry rahalahy, aoka aho mba hilaza aminareo marimarina ny amin’ i Davida patriarka, fa efa maty izy ka nalevina koa, ary ny fasany eto amintsika mandraka androany.
"As to the patriarch David, I need hardly remind you, brethren, that he died and was buried, and that we still have his tomb among us.
30 Ary satria mpaminany izy ka nahalala fa Andriamanitra efa nanao fianianana taminy fa izay hateraky ny kibony no hipetraka eo ambonin’ ny seza fiandrianany,
Being a Prophet, however, and knowing that God had solemnly sworn to him to seat a descendant of his upon his throne,
31 koa raha nahita rahateo izy, dia nilaza ny fitsanganan’ i Kristy, fa tsy nafoy ho any amin’ ny fiainan-tsi-hita Izy, ary ny nofony tsy tratry ny lò. (Hadēs g86)
with prophetic foresight he spoke of the resurrection of the Christ, to the effect that He was not left forsaken in the Unseen World, nor did His body undergo decay. (Hadēs g86)
32 Izany Jesosy izany dia efa natsangan’ Andriamanitra, ary vavolombelon’ izany izahay rehetra.
This Jesus, God has raised to life-- a fact to which all of us testify.
33 Ary rehefa nasandratry ny tanana ankavanan’ Andriamanitra Izy, ary nandray tamin’ ny Ray ny Fanahy Masìna Izay nokasainy, dia efa nampilatsaka izao hitanareo sy renareo izao Izy.
"Being therefore lifted high by the mighty hand of God, He has received from the Father the promised Holy Spirit and has poured out this which you see and hear.
34 Fa tsy Davida no niakatra tany an-danitra; fa hoy izy: Jehovah nilaza tamin’ ny Tompoko hoe: Mipetraha eo an-tanako ankavanana
For David did not ascend into Heaven, but he says himself, "'The Lord said to my Lord, Sit at My right hand
35 Ambara-panaoko ny fahavalonao ho fitoeran-tongotrao.
until I make thy foes a footstool under thy feet.'
36 Koa aoka ho fantatry ny taranak’ isiraely rehetra marimarina fa iny Jesosy nohomboanareo tamin’ ny hazo fijaliana iny dia efa nataon’ Andriamanitra ho Tompo sy Kristy.
"Therefore let the whole House of Israel know beyond all doubt that God has made Him both LORD and CHRIST--this Jesus whom you crucified."
37 Ary raha nandre izany ny olona, dia voatsindrona tam-pony ka nanao tamin’ i Petera sy ny Apostoly namany hoe: Ry rahalahy, inona no hataonay?
Stung to the heart by these words, they said to Peter and the rest of the Apostles, "Brethren, what are we to do?"
38 Ary hoy Petera taminy: Mibebaha, ary aoka samy hatao batisa amin’ ny anaran’ i Jesosy Kristy ianareo rehetra mba hahazo famelana ny helokareo; ary ianareo handray ny fanomezana, dia ny Fanahy Masìna;
"Repent," replied Peter, "and be baptized, every one of you, in the name of Jesus Christ, with a view to the remission of your sins, and you shall receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.
39 fa ny teny fikasana dia ho anareo sy ny zanakareo ary ho an’ izay rehetra lavitra, na iza na iza hantsoin’ i Jehovah Andriamanitsika hanatona Azy.
For to you belongs the promise, and to your children, and to all who are far off, whoever the Lord our God may call."
40 Ary nanambara sy nananatra azy tamin’ ny teny maro hafa koa izy ka nanao hoe: Aoka hovonjena ho afaka amin’ ity taranaka maditra ity ianareo.
And with many more appeals he solemnly warned and entreated them, saying, "Escape from this crooked generation."
41 Ary izay nandray tsara ny teniny dia natao batisa; ary tokony ho telo arivo no olona nanampy ho isany tamin’ izany andro izany.
Those, therefore, who joyfully welcomed his Message were baptized; and on that one day about three thousand persons were added to them;
42 Ary izy ireo naharitra tamin’ ny fampianaran’ ny Apostoly sy ny fiombonana sy ny famakiana ny mofo ary ny fivavahana.
and they were constant in listening to the teaching of the Apostles and in their attendance at the Communion, that is, the Breaking of the Bread, and at prayer.
43 Dia raiki-tahotra ny olona rehetra teo, ary fahagagana sy famantarana maro no nataon’ ny Apostoly.
Fear came upon every one, and many marvels and signs were done by the Apostles.
44 Ary izay rehetra nino dia niray toerana, sady niombonany avokoa ny fananany rehetra,
And all the believers kept together, and had everything in common.
45 ary namidiny ny taniny sy ny fananany ka nozarainy tamin’ izy rehetra araka izay nilainy avy.
They sold their lands and other property, and distributed the proceeds among all, according to every one's necessities.
46 Ary dia niray saina isan’ andro izy ka nazoto nankeo an-kianjan’ ny tempoly ary namaky mofo tao an-trano ka nihinan-kanina tamin’ ny fifaliana sy ny fahatsaram-po,
And, day by day, attending constantly in the Temple with one accord, and breaking bread in private houses, they took their meals with great happiness and single-heartedness,
47 nidera an’ Andriamanitra sady nahita fitia tamin’ ny vahoaka rehetra. Ary ny olom-bonjena dia nanampin’ ny Tompo isan’ andro ho isan’ ireo.
praising God and being regarded with favour by all the people. Also, day by day, the Lord added to their number those whom He was saving.
