Asan'ny Apostoly 4
1 Ary raha mbola niteny tamin’ ny vahoaka izy, dia, indreo, tonga teo aminy ny mpisorona sy ny lehiben’ ny mpiambina ny tempoly ary ny Sadoseo;
While Peter and John were speaking to the people, the priests and the captain of the temple guard and the Sadducees came up to them,
2 fa sosotra izy noho ny nampianaran’ ny Apostoly ny vahoaka sy ny nitoriany tamin’ ny alalan’ i Jesosy ny fitsanganana amin’ ny maty.
greatly disturbed that they were teaching the people and proclaiming in Jesus the resurrection of the dead.
3 Dia nisambotra azy izy ka nanao azy tao an-tranomaizina ambara-pahamarain’ ny andro; fa efa hariva ny andro tamin’ izay.
They seized Peter and John, and because it was evening, they put them in custody until the next day.
4 Kanefa maro tamin’ izay nandre ny teny no nino, ka dia tonga tokony ho dimy arivo no isan’ ny lehilahy.
But many who heard the message believed, and the number of men grew to about five thousand.
5 Ary nony maraina ny andro, dia niangona tany Jerosalema ny mpanapaka sy ny loholona sy ny mpanora-dalàna
The next day the rulers, elders, and scribes assembled in Jerusalem,
6 sy Anasy mpisoronabe sy Kaiafa sy Jaona sy Aleksandro mbamin’ izay rehetra mety ho havan’ ny mpisoronabe.
along with Annas the high priest, Caiaphas, John, Alexander, and many others from the high priest’s family.
7 Ary rehefa nataony teo ampovoany izy roa lahy, dia nanontaniany hoe: Fahefana manao ahoana, na anarana manao ahoana, no nanaovanareo izany?
They had Peter and John brought in and began to question them: “By what power or what name did you do this?”
8 Ary Petera, feno ny Fanahy Masìna, dia nanao taminy hoe: Ry mpanapaka ny vahoaka sy loholona,
Then Peter, filled with the Holy Spirit, said to them, “Rulers and elders of the people!
9 raha adinina izahay anin’ ny amin’ ny asa tsara natao tamin’ ny nahasitranana ilay lehilahy malemy,
If we are being examined today about a kind service to a man who was lame, to determine how he was healed,
10 dia aoka ho fantatrareo rehetra sy ny olona Isiraely rehetra fa ny anaran’ i Jesosy Kristy avy any Nazareta, Izay nohomboanareo tamin’ ny hazo fijaliana, fa natsangan’ Andriamanitra tamin’ ny maty kosa, dia Izy no itsanganan’ io lehilahy io finaritra eto imasonareo.
then let this be known to all of you and to all the people of Israel: It is by the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, whom you crucified but whom God raised from the dead, that this man stands before you healed.
11 Ity no vato izay nolavinareo mpanao trano, nefa tonga fehizoro.
This Jesus is ‘the stone you builders rejected, which has become the cornerstone.’
12 Ary tsy misy famonjena amin’ ny hafa; fa tsy misy anarana hafa ambanin’ ny lanitra nomena ny olona izay hahazoantsika famonjena.
Salvation exists in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given to men by which we must be saved.”
13 Ary nony nahita ny fahasahisahian’ i Petera sy Jaona izy, sady nahalala fa tsy mba mpahay lalàna na nampianarina izy roa lahy, dia gaga izy; ary fantany tsara fa efa niaraka tamin’ i Jesosy izy roa lahy.
When they saw the boldness of Peter and John and realized that they were unschooled, ordinary men, they marveled and took note that these men had been with Jesus.
14 Ary nony nijery ny lehilahy izay efa sitrana nitsangana teo aminy izy, dia tsy hitany izay havaliny.
And seeing the man who had been healed standing there with them, they had nothing to say in response.
15 Ary rehefa nasainy niala teo amin’ ny Synedriona izy roa lahy, dia niara-nisaina izy
So they ordered them to leave the Sanhedrin and then conferred together.
16 ka nanao hoe: Hataontsika ahoana ireo lehilahy ireo? fa efa nanao famantarana malaza tokoa izy, ary fantatry ny mponina rehetra eto Jerosalema izany, ka tsy azontsika lavina.
“What shall we do with these men?” they asked. “It is clear to everyone living in Jerusalem that a remarkable miracle has occurred through them, and we cannot deny it.
17 Fa mba tsy hielezan’ izany intsony amin’ ny vahoaka, dia aoka horahonantsika izy mba tsy hiteny amin’ izany anarana izany intsony na amin’ iza na amin’ iza.
But to keep this message from spreading any further among the people, we must warn them not to speak to anyone in this name.”
18 Ary niantso azy izy ka nandrara azy tsy hiteny na hampianatra amin’ ny anaran’ i Jesosy intsony.
Then they called them in again and commanded them not to speak or teach at all in the name of Jesus.
19 Fa Petera sy Jaona kosa namaly azy ka nanao hoe: Tsaraonareo na marina eo imason’ Andriamanitra, na tsia, ny hanaiky anareo mihoatra noho Andriamanitra.
But Peter and John replied, “Judge for yourselves whether it is right in God’s sight to listen to you rather than God.
20 Fa izahay tsy maintsy milaza izay zavatra efa hitanay sy renay.
For we cannot stop speaking about what we have seen and heard.”
21 Ary rehefa norahonany indray izy, dia nalefany; fa tsy hitany izay hampijaliany azy noho ny tahony ny vahoaka; satria izy rehetra nankalaza an’ Andriamanitra noho ny amin’ ny zavatra efa natao.
After further threats they let them go. They could not find a way to punish them, because all the people were glorifying God for what had happened.
22 Fa efa tsy omby efa-polo taona ralehilahy izay nanaovana izany famantarana nahasitrana azy izany.
For the man who was miraculously healed was over forty years old.
23 Ary rehefa nalefa izy roa lahy, dia tonga teo amin’ ny namany ka nanambara izay rehetra nolazain’ ny lohan’ ny mpisorona sy ny loholona taminy.
On their release, Peter and John returned to their own people and reported everything that the chief priests and elders had said to them.
24 Fa rehefa nandre izany izy ireo, dia niara-nanandratra ny feony ho amin’ Andriamanitra ka nanao hoe: Tompo ô, Hianao no nanao ny lanitra sy ny tany ary ny ranomasina mbamin’ izay rehetra ao anatiny,
When the believers heard this, they lifted up their voices to God with one accord. “Sovereign Lord,” they said, “You made the heaven and the earth and the sea and everything in them.
25 ary ny Fanahy Masìna no nampitenenanao an’ i Davida razanay sady mpanomponao hoe: Nahoana no mitabataba ny jentilisa, Ary misaina anoano foana ny firenena?
You spoke by the Holy Spirit through the mouth of Your servant, our father David: ‘Why do the nations rage and the peoples plot in vain?
26 Ireo mpanjakan’ ny tany nitsangana, Ary ny mpanapaka niangona Hanohitra an’ i Jehovah sy ny Mesiany.
The kings of the earth take their stand and the rulers gather together against the Lord and against His Anointed One.’
27 Fa efa niangona marina tokoa teto amin’ ity tanàna ity Heroda sy Pontio Pilato mbamin’ ny jentilisa sy ny olona Isiraely hanohitra ny Mpanomponao Masìna, dia Jesosy Izay nohosoranao,
In fact, this is the very city where Herod and Pontius Pilate conspired with the Gentiles and the people of Israel against Your holy servant Jesus, whom You anointed.
28 mba hanao izay notendren’ ny tananao aman-tsainao rahateo hatao.
They carried out what Your hand and will had decided beforehand would happen.
29 Koa ankehitriny, Tompo ô, jereo ny fandrahonany; ary omeo anay mpanomponao ny mba hitory ny teninao amin’ ny fahasahiana rehetra,
And now, Lord, consider their threats, and enable Your servants to speak Your word with complete boldness,
30 omban’ ny aninjiranao ny tananao hahasitrana sy ny anaovana famantarana sy fahagagana amin’ ny anaran’ i Jesosy, Mpanomponao Masìna.
as You stretch out Your hand to heal and perform signs and wonders through the name of Your holy servant Jesus.”
31 Ary rehefa nivavaka izy, dia nihovitrovitra ny trano izay niangonany; dia feno ny Fanahy Masìna izy rehetra ka nitory ny tenin’ Andriamanitra tamin’ ny fahasahiana.
After they had prayed, their meeting place was shaken, and they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and spoke the word of God boldly.
32 Ary niray fo sy fanahy ny olona rehetra izay nino; ary tsy nisy nanonona ny fananany ho azy na dia iray aza, fa niombonany avokoa ny zavatra rehetra nananany.
The multitude of believers was one in heart and soul. No one claimed that any of his possessions was his own, but they shared everything they owned.
33 Ary tamin’ ny hery be no nanambaran’ ny Apostoly ny nitsanganan’ i Jesosy Tompo; ary fahasoavana be no tao amin’ izy rehetra.
With great power the apostles continued to give their testimony about the resurrection of the Lord Jesus. And abundant grace was upon them all.
34 Fa tsy nisy olona nalahelo teo aminy; fa izay nanana tany na trano, raha nivarotra izany, dia nitondra ny vola vidin’ ny zavatra lafo,
There were no needy ones among them, because those who owned lands or houses would sell their property, bring the proceeds from the sales,
35 ka napetrany teo anoloan’ ny tongotry ny Apostoly, dia nozaraina tamin’ izy rehetra araka izay nilainy avy
and lay them at the apostles’ feet for distribution to anyone as he had need.
36 Ary Josefa, izay nataon’ ny Apostoly hoe koa Barnabasy (izany hoe, raha adika, Zanaky ny fananarana), Levita, avy any Kyprosy no firazanany,
Joseph, a Levite from Cyprus, whom the apostles called Barnabas (meaning Son of Encouragement),
37 dia nivarotra ny sahany, ary nentiny ny vola vidiny ka napetrany teo anoloan’ ny tongotry ny Apostoly.
sold a field he owned, brought the money, and laid it at the apostles’ feet.
