< Asan'ny Apostoly 3 >

1 Ary Petera sy Jaona niakatra ho eo an-kianjan’ ny tempoly tamin’ ny ora fahasivy fotoam-pivavahana.
One day Peter and John were going up to the Temple for the hour of prayer--the ninth hour--and, just then,
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;
some men were carrying there one who had been lame from birth, whom they were wont to place every day close to the Beautiful Gate (as it was called) of the Temple, for him to beg from the people as they 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 about to go into the Temple, he asked them for alms.
4 Ary Petera sy Jaona nibanjina azy ka nanao hoe: Mijere anay.
Peter fixing his eyes on him, as John did also, said, "Look at us."
5 Dia nibanjina azy roa lahy tsara izy, fa nanantena hahazo zavatra taminy.
So he looked and waited, expecting to receive 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.
"I have no silver or gold," Peter said, "but what I have, I give you. In the name of Jesus Christ, the Nazarene-- walk!"
7 Ary noraisiny tamin’ ny tànany ankavanana ralehilahy ka natsangany; dia natanjaka niaraka tamin’ izay ny tongony sy ny kitrokeliny.
Then taking his hand Peter lifted him up, and immediately his feet and ankles were strengthened.
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.
Leaping up, he stood upright and began to walk, and went into the Temple with them, walking, leaping, and praising God.
9 Ary ny vahoaka rehetra nahita azy mitsangantsangana sy midera an’ Andriamanitra.
All the people saw him walking 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 recognizing him as the man who used to sit at the Beautiful Gate of the Temple asking for alms, they were filled with awe and amazement 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 he still clung to Peter and John, the people, awe-struck, ran up crowding round them in what was known as Solomon's Portico.
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?
Peter, seeing this, spoke to the people. "Israelites," he said, "why do you wonder at this man? Or why gaze at us, as though by any power or piety of our own we had enabled him 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 forefathers, has conferred this honour on His Servant Jesus, whom you delivered up and disowned in the presence of Pilate, when he had decided to let Him go.
14 Fa ianareo nandà Ilay Masìna sy Marina, ary mpamono olona no nangatahinareo halefa ho anareo;
Yes, you disowned the holy and righteous One, and asked as a favour 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 Prince of Life you put to death; but God has raised Him from the dead, and we are witnesses as to that.
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.
It is His name-- faith in that name being the condition--which has strengthened this man whom you behold and know; and the faith which He has given has made this man sound and strong again, as you can all see.
17 Ary ankehitriny, ry rahalahy, fantatro fa tamin’ ny tsi-fahalalana no nanaovanareo izany, tahaka ny mpanapaka anareo koa.
"And now, brethren, I know that it was in ignorance that you did it, as was the case with your rulers also.
18 Fa izany no nahatanterahan’ Andriamanitra ny zavatra nampilazainy ny mpaminany rehetra rahateo, fa hiaretan’ ny Kristiny.
But in this way God has fulfilled the declarations He made through all the Prophets, that His Christ would suffer.
19 Koa mibebaha ianareo, ka miverena hamonoana ny fahotanareo, mba ho avy izay andro famelombelomana avy amin’ ny fanatrehan’ ny Tompo,
Repent, therefore, and reform your lives, so that the record of your sins may be cancelled, and that there may come seasons of revival from the Lord,
20 ary mba hanirahany ny Kristy voatendry ho anareo, dia Jesosy,
and that He may send the Christ appointed beforehand for you--even Jesus.
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)
Heaven must receive Him until those times of which God has spoken from the earliest ages through the lips of His holy Prophets--the times of the reconstitution of all things. (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 declared, "'The Lord your God will raise up a Prophet for you from among your brethren as He has raised me. In all that He says to you, you must listen to Him.
23 Ary izay rehetra tsy hihaino izany mpaminany izany dia haringana tsy ho eo amin’ ny olona.
And every one, without exception, who refuses to listen to that Prophet shall be utterly destroyed from among the People.'
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--all who have spoken--have also announced the coming of this present time.
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 are the heirs of the Prophets, and of the Covenant which God made with your forefathers when He said to Abraham, 'And through your posterity all the families of the world shall 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.
It is to you first that God, after raising His Servant from the grave, has sent Him to bless you, by causing every one of you to turn from your wickedness."
