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;

And while they were speaking to the people, the priests and the captain of the temple and the Sadducees came upon 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.

being indignant that they taught the people, and proclaimed in Jesus the resurrection from the dead.

3 Dia nisambotra azy izy ka nanao azy tao an-tranomaizina ambara-pahamarain’ ny andro; fa efa hariva ny andro tamin’ izay.

And they laid hands upon them, and put them in prison until the next day; for it was now evening.

4 Kanefa maro tamin’ izay nandre ny teny no nino, ka dia tonga tokony ho dimy arivo no isan’ ny lehilahy.

Many however of those who heard the word believed; and the number of the men became five thousand.

5 Ary nony maraina ny andro, dia niangona tany Jerosalema ny mpanapaka sy ny loholona sy ny mpanora-dalàna

And it came to pass on the next day, that their rulers and elders and scribes,

6 sy Anasy mpisoronabe sy Kaiafa sy Jaona sy Aleksandro mbamin’ izay rehetra mety ho havan’ ny mpisoronabe.

and Annas the high-priest, and Caiaphas, and John, and Alexander, and as many as were of the kindred of the high-priest, were gathered together at Jerusalem.

7 Ary rehefa nataony teo ampovoany izy roa lahy, dia nanontaniany hoe: Fahefana manao ahoana, na anarana manao ahoana, no nanaovanareo izany?

And when they had set them in the midst, they asked, By what power, or by what name, did ye 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 of the people, and elders of Israel!

9 raha adinina izahay anin’ ny amin’ ny asa tsara natao tamin’ ny nahasitranana ilay lehilahy malemy,

If we are this day examined in respect to a good deed done to a cripple, by what means he hath been restored,

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.

be it known to you all, and to all the people of Israel, that by the name of Jesus Christ the Nazarene, whom ye crucified, whom God raised from the dead, —by him doth this man stand here before you sound.

11 Ity no vato izay nolavinareo mpanao trano, nefa tonga fehizoro.

This is the stone which was set at nought by you the builders, which is become a cornerstone.

12 Ary tsy misy famonjena amin’ ny hafa; fa tsy misy anarana hafa ambanin’ ny lanitra nomena ny olona izay hahazoantsika famonjena.

And there is salvation in no other; for there is not another name under heaven, that hath been given among 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.

And when they beheld the boldness of Peter and John, and perceived that they were unlearned and common men, they wondered; and they recognized them as having 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 that had been cured standing with them, they could say nothing in reply.

15 Ary rehefa nasainy niala teo amin’ ny Synedriona izy roa lahy, dia niara-nisaina izy

But when they had commanded them to go aside out of the council, they conferred among themselves,

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.

saying, What shall we do to these men? for that indeed a remarkable sign hath been wrought by them is manifest to all that dwell in Jerusalem; 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 that it spread no further among the people, let us strictly forbid them with threats to speak any longer in this name to any one.

18 Ary niantso azy izy ka nandrara azy tsy hiteny na hampianatra amin’ ny anaran’ i Jesosy intsony.

And they called them, and commanded them not to speak at all, nor teach, 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 answered and said to them, Whether it is right in the sight of God to hearken to you rather than to God, judge ye.

20 Fa izahay tsy maintsy milaza izay zavatra efa hitanay sy renay.

For we cannot but speak the things which we saw 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.

So, having further threatened them, they let them go, finding no way to punish them, on account of the people; because all were glorifying God for that which had been done.

22 Fa efa tsy omby efa-polo taona ralehilahy izay nanaovana izany famantarana nahasitrana azy izany.

For the man was above forty years old, on whom this sign of the healing had been wrought.

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.

And being released they went to their own company, and reported all 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,

And on hearing it, they lifted up their voice to God with one accord, and said, Lord, thou art he that made heaven and earth and sea, and all things that are 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?

who by the mouth of thy servant David said, “Why did the heathen rage, and the peoples meditate vain things?

26 Ireo mpanjakan’ ny tany nitsangana, Ary ny mpanapaka niangona Hanohitra an’ i Jehovah sy ny Mesiany.

The kings of the earth came up, and the rulers assembled together, against the Lord, and against his Anointed.”

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,

For in truth against thy holy servant Jesus, whom thou didst anoint, did both Herod and Pontius Pilate, with the gentiles, and the peoples of Israel, assemble in this city,

28 mba hanao izay notendren’ ny tananao aman-tsainao rahateo hatao.

to do whatever thy hand and thy will before determined to be done.

29 Koa ankehitriny, Tompo ô, jereo ny fandrahonany; ary omeo anay mpanomponao ny mba hitory ny teninao amin’ ny fahasahiana rehetra,

And now, Lord, look upon their threatenings, and grant to thy servants that with all boldness they may speak thy word,

30 omban’ ny aninjiranao ny tananao hahasitrana sy ny anaovana famantarana sy fahagagana amin’ ny anaran’ i Jesosy, Mpanomponao Masìna.

while thou stretchest forth thy hand to heal, and signs and wonders are wrought through the name of thy 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.

And when they had prayed, the place was shaken where they were assembled; and they were all filled with the Holy Spirit, and they spoke the word of God with boldness.

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.

And the multitude of those who believed were of one heart, and of one soul; and not one of them said that aught of the things which he possessed was his own; but they had all things common.

33 Ary tamin’ ny hery be no nanambaran’ ny Apostoly ny nitsanganan’ i Jesosy Tompo; ary fahasoavana be no tao amin’ izy rehetra.

And with great power did the apostles give their testimony to the resurrection of the Lord Jesus; and great 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,

For there was no one among them that was in want; for as many as were possessors of lands or houses sold them, and brought the prices of the things that were sold,

35 ka napetrany teo anoloan’ ny tongotry ny Apostoly, dia nozaraina tamin’ izy rehetra araka izay nilainy avy

and laid them at the feet of the apostles; and distribution was made to every one, according 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,

And Joseph, who by the apostles was surnamed Barnabas, (which is, when interpreted, Son of consolation, ) a Levite, born in Cyprus,

37 dia nivarotra ny sahany, ary nentiny ny vola vidiny ka napetrany teo anoloan’ ny tongotry ny Apostoly.

having land, sold it, and brought the money, and laid it at the feet of the apostles.
