Asan'ny Apostoly 3
1 Ary Petera sy Jaona niakatra ho eo an-kianjan’ ny tempoly tamin’ ny ora fahasivy fotoam-pivavahana.
One day, as Peter and John were going up into the Temple Courts for the three o’clock Prayers,
2 Ary nisy nitondra lehilahy nalemy tongotra hatrany an-kibon-dreniny, izay napetrany isan’ andro teo anoloan’ ny vavahadin’ ny tempoly, ilay atao hoe Itsaraendrika, mba hangataka fiantrana amin’ izay niditra teo an-kianjan’ ny tempoly;
a man, who had been lame from his birth, was being carried by. This man used to be set down every day at the gate of the Temple called “the Beautiful Gate,” to beg of those who went in.
3 nony nahita an’ i Petera sy Jaona efa niditra eo an-kianjan’ ny tempoly izy, dia nangataka mba homena fiantrana.
Seeing Peter and John on the point of entering, he asked them to give him something.
4 Ary Petera sy Jaona nibanjina azy ka nanao hoe: Mijere anay.
Peter fixed his eyes on him, and so did John, and then Peter said, ‘Look at us.’
5 Dia nibanjina azy roa lahy tsara izy, fa nanantena hahazo zavatra taminy.
The man was all attention, expecting to get something from them;
6 Fa hoy Petera: Tsy manana volafotsy na volamena aho, fa izay ananako no omeko anao: Amin’ ny anaran’ i Jesosy Kristy avy any Nazareta, mitsangantsangàna.
but Peter added, ‘I have no gold or silver, but I give you what I have. In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, get up and walk.’
7 Ary noraisiny tamin’ ny tànany ankavanana ralehilahy ka natsangany; dia natanjaka niaraka tamin’ izay ny tongony sy ny kitrokeliny.
Grasping the lame man by the right hand, Peter lifted him up. Instantly the man’s feet and ankles became strong,
8 Ary niantsambotra izy ka nijoro, dia nitsangantsangana ary niara-niditra taminy ho eo an-kianjan’ ny tempoly, nitsangantsangana ny niantsambotsambotra sady nidera an’ Andriamanitra.
and, leaping up, he stood and began to walk about, and then went with them into the Temple Courts, walking, and leaping, and praising God.
9 Ary ny vahoaka rehetra nahita azy mitsangantsangana sy midera an’ Andriamanitra.
All the people saw him walking about and praising God;
10 Ary fantany tsara fa io no ilay nipetraka teo amin’ ny vavahady Itsaraendrika eo amin’ ny tempoly mba hiantrana; dia gaga sady talanjona ny olona noho izay tonga tamin-dralehilahy.
and, when they recognised him as the man who used to sit begging at the Beautiful Gate of the Temple, they were utterly astonished and amazed at what had happened to him.
11 Ary raha nihazona an’ i Petera sy Jaona izy, dia niara-nirohitra ny olona rehetra ho eo amin’ izy telo lahy teo amin’ ny fialofana izay atao hoe Fialofan’ i Solomona, ka talanjona.
While the man still clung to Peter and John, the people all quickly gathered round them in the Colonnade named after Solomon, in the greatest astonishment.
12 Ary Petera, nony nahita, dia namaly ny vahoaka hoe: Ry lehilahy Isiraely, nahoana no talanjona amin’ izany ianareo? Ary nahoana no mandinika anay ianareo, toa herinay na fahamasinanay no nanaovanay azy ho afa-mandeha?
On seeing this, Peter said to the people, ‘People of Israel, why are you surprised at this? And why do you stare at us, as though we, by any power or piety of our own, had enabled this man to walk?
13 Andriamanitr’ i Abrahama sy Isaka ary Jakoba, Andriamanitry ny razantsika, no nanome voninahitra an’ i Jesosy Mpanompony, Izay natolotrareo sy nolavinareo teo anatrehan’ i Pilato, rehefa nokasainy halefa.
The God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, the God of our ancestors, has done honour to his servant Jesus – him whom you gave up and disowned before Pilate, when he had decided to set him free.
14 Fa ianareo nandà Ilay Masìna sy Marina, ary mpamono olona no nangatahinareo halefa ho anareo;
You, I say, disowned the holy and righteous one, and asked for the release of a murderer!
15 fa ny Tompon’ ny aina kosa no novonoinareo; fa Izy natsangan’ Andriamanitra tamin’ ny maty, ary vavolombelon’ izany izahay.
The guide to life you put to death! But God raised him from the dead – and of that we are ourselves witnesses.
16 Ary ny anarany no nampahatanjaka io lehilahy hitanareo sy fantatrareo io noho ny finoana ny anarany; eny, ny finoana izay azo amin’ ny alalany no nahazoany izao fahasitranana tsara eto imasonareo rehetra izao.
And it is by faith in the name of Jesus, that this man, whom you all see and know, has – by his name – been made strong. Yes, it is the faith inspired by Jesus that has made this complete cure of the man, before the eyes of you all.
17 Ary ankehitriny, ry rahalahy, fantatro fa tamin’ ny tsi-fahalalana no nanaovanareo izany, tahaka ny mpanapaka anareo koa.
And yet, my friends, I know that you acted as you did from ignorance, and your rulers also.
18 Fa izany no nahatanterahan’ Andriamanitra ny zavatra nampilazainy ny mpaminany rehetra rahateo, fa hiaretan’ ny Kristiny.
But it was in this way that God fulfilled all that he had long ago foretold, as to the sufferings of his Christ, by the lips of all the prophets.
19 Koa mibebaha ianareo, ka miverena hamonoana ny fahotanareo, mba ho avy izay andro famelombelomana avy amin’ ny fanatrehan’ ny Tompo,
Therefore, repent and turn so that your sins may be wiped away; so that happier times may come from the Lord himself,
20 ary mba hanirahany ny Kristy voatendry ho anareo, dia Jesosy,
and so that he may send you, in Jesus, your long-appointed Christ.
21 Ilay tsy maintsy horaisin’ ny lanitra mandra-pihavin’ ny andro fampodiana ny zavatra rehetra, izay nampilazain’ Andriamanitra ny mpaminaniny masìna hatramin’ ny voalohany indrindra. (aiōn g165)
But heaven must be his home, until the days of the Universal Restoration, of which God has spoken by the lips of his holy prophets from the very first. (aiōn g165)
22 Fa Mosesy nilaza hoe: Mpaminany no hatsangan’ i Jehovah Andriamanitra ho anareo avy amin’ ny rahalahinareo, tahaka ahy; izy no hohenoinareo amin’ izay rehetra holazainy aminareo.
Moses himself said – “The Lord your God will raise up from among yourselves a prophet, as he raised me. To him you will listen whenever he speaks to you.
23 Ary izay rehetra tsy hihaino izany mpaminany izany dia haringana tsy ho eo amin’ ny olona.
And it will be that should anyone among the people not listen to that prophet, he will be utterly destroyed.”
24 Ary ny mpaminany rehetra koa hatramin’ i Samoela sy izay nanarakaraka, na iza na iza niteny, dia nanambara izao andro izao.
Yes, and all the prophets from Samuel onwards, and all their successors who had a message to deliver, told of these days.
25 Hianareo no zanaky ny mpaminany sy ny fanekena nataon’ Andriamanitra tamin’ ny razanareo, raha hoy Izy tamin’ i Abrahama: Ary amin’ ny taranakao no hitahiana ny firenena rehetra ambonin’ ny tany.
You yourselves are the heirs of the prophets, and heirs, too, of the covenant which God made with your ancestors, when he said to Abraham – “In your descendants will all the nations of the earth be blessed.”
26 Andriamanitra, rehefa nanangana ny Mpanompony, dia naniraka Azy ho aminareo voalohany, mitahy anareo amin’ ny fialanareo rehetra amin’ ny faharatsianareo isam-batan’ olona.
For you, first, God raised up his servant, and sent him to bless you, by turning each one of you from his wicked ways.’
