Asan'ny Apostoly 5
1 Fa nisy kosa lehilahy atao hoe Ananiasy sy Safira vadiny nivarotra tany,
But a certain man named Ananias, with Sapphira his wife, sold a possession,
2 ka nanafenany ho azy ny vola vidiny, ary ny vavy koa nahalala izany; dia nentiny ny vola sasany vidiny ka napetrany teo anoloan’ ny tongotry ny Apostoly.
and kept back part of the price, and his wife was conscious of it; and he brought a certain part of it, and laid it at the feet of the apostles.
3 Ary hoy Petera: Ry Ananiasy, nahoana Satana no nameno ny fonao handainga amin’ ny Fanahy Masìna ka hanafina ny vola sasany vidin’ ny tany?
But Peter said: Ananias, why has Satan filled your heart, that you should attempt to deceive the Holy Spirit, and keep back part of the price of the land?
4 Fony tsy namidy, tsy anao ihany va izy? Ary rehefa namidy, tsy anao hanaovanao izay sitraponao koa va? Nahoana no nisaina izany tao am-ponao ianao? Tsy nandainga tamin’ olona ianao, fa tamin’ Andriamanitra.
While it remained unsold, was it not your own? And after it was sold, was it not at your own disposal? Why have you purposed this thing in your heart? You have not lied to men, but to God.
5 Ary Ananiasy, nony nandre izany teny izany, dia nikarapoka, ka afaka ny ainy; dia raiki-tahotra loatra izay rehetra nandre izany.
And when Ananias heard these words, he fell down, and expired. And great fear came on all that heard these things.
6 Ary nitsangana ny zatovo, dia nofonosiny ny faty ka nentiny nivoaka, dia naleviny.
And the young men arose and wound him in his mantle, and carried him out, and buried him.
7 Fa rehefa afaka tokony ho ora telo, dia niditra koa ny vavy, nefa tsy fantany izay efa nanjo teo.
And after an interval of about three hours, his wife, not knowing what had been done, came in.
8 Ary hoy Petera taminy: Lazao amiko: Izany ihany va no vola vidin’ ny taninareo? Dia hoy izy: Eny, izany ihany.
And Peter answered her: Tell me, did you sell the land for so much? She replied: Yes; for so much.
9 Ary hoy Petera taminy: Nahoana ianareo no niray tetika haka fanahy ny Fanahin’ ny Tompo? Indro, eo am-baravarana ny tongotr’ izay nandevina ny vadinao, ary hitondra anao hivoaka koa izy.
But Peter said to her: Why is it that you have agreed together to tempt the Spirit of the Lord? Behold, the feet of those who have buried your husband are at the door, and they shall carry you out.
10 Dia nikarapoka teo anoloan’ ny tongony niaraka tamin’ izay koa izy, ka afaka ny ainy; ary raha niditra ny zatovo, dia hitany fa maty, ary nentiny nivoaka ka naleviny teo anilan’ ny lahy.
And she immediately fell down at his feet, and expired. And the young men came in and found her dead; and they carried her out, and buried her by the side of her husband.
11 Dia raiki-tahotra indrindra ny fiangonana rehetra sy izay rehetra nandre izany.
And great fear came on all the church, and on all that heard these things.
12 Ary ny tanan’ ny Apostoly no nanaovana famantarana sy fahagagana maro teo amin’ ny vahoaka; ary izy rehetra niray saina teo amin’ ny Fialofan’ i Solomona;
And many signs and wonders were done among the people by the hands of the apostles; (and they were all with one consent in Solomon’s porch.
13 ary tsy nisy tamin’ ny olona sisa rehetra sahy niray taminy; nefa nankalaza azy ny vahoaka.
And no one of the rest durst join himself to them; but the people magnified them.
14 Ary vao mainka nisy olona maro koa na lahy na vavy izay nino ny Tompo nanampy ho isany;
And believers in the Lord were more and more added to them, multitudes both of men and women; )
15 ka dia nentiny teny an-dalambe aza ny marary ka napetrany teny ambony farafara sy fandriana, mba hisy ho azon’ ny tandindon’ i Petera ahay, raha mandalo izy.
so that they brought the sick out along the streets, and laid them on beds and couches, that even the shadow of Peter, as he passed along, might fall on some of them.
16 Ary ny olona maro avy tamin’ ny vohitra manodidina an’ i Jerosalema dia nivory koa, nitondra ny marary sy izay nampahorin’ ny fanahy maloto; dia sitrana avokoa izy rehetra.
And many people of the cities round about came to Jerusalem, bringing the sick, and those who were troubled by evil spirits, all of whom were cured.
17 Ary nitsangana ny mpisoronabe mbamin’ ny namany rehetra (izay antokon’ ny Sadoseo), fa feno fialonana izy,
But the chief priest arose, and all that were with him, (which is the sect of the Sadducees, ) and were filled with indignation;
18 dia nisambotra ny Apostoly izy ka nanao azy tao an-tranomaizina.
and they laid their hands on the apostles, and put them in the public prison.
19 Fa nisy anjelin’ ny Tompo namoha ny varavaran’ ny tranomaizina nony alina, dia nitondra azy nivoaka ka nanao hoe:
But an angel of the Lord opened the doors of the prison by night, and brought them out, and said:
20 Mandehana, ka mitsangàna, ary mitoria amin’ ny vahoaka eo an-kianjan’ ny tempoly ny teny rehetra milaza izany fiainana izany.
Go, stand in the temple, and speak to the people all the words of this life.
21 Ary rehefa nandre izany izy, dia niditra maraina koa teo an-kianjan’ ny tempoly ka nampianatra. Ary rehefa tonga ny mpisoronabe sy ny namany, dia nampiangona ny Synedriona sy ny loholona rehetra tamin’ ny Zanak’ isiraely izy ka naniraka nankao amin’ ny tranomaizina haka ny Apostoly.
And having heard this, they entered the temple, early in the morning, and taught. But the chief priest, and those who were with him, came and called together the Sanhedrim, and all the eldership of the sons of Israel, and sent to the prison to have them brought.
22 Fa nony tonga ny mpiandry raharaha, dia tsy nahita azy tao an-tranomaizina; dia niverina izy ka nilaza hoe:
But when the attendants came, and found them not in the prison, they returned and reported,
23 Ny tranomaizina dia hitanay mihidy tsara, ary ny mpiambina mitsangana eo am-baravarana; kanefa nony novohanay, dia tsy nahita olona tao izahay.
saying: We found the prison closed with all safety, and the guards standing before the doors; but when we had opened, we found no one within.
24 Ary ny lehiben’ ny mpiambina ny tempoly sy ny lohan’ ny mpisorona, rehefa nandre izany teny izany, dia niroahana ny amin’ izay ho faran’ izany.
When the priest and the captain of the temple and the chief priests heard these words, they were in doubt about them, what this could mean.
25 Dia nisy tonga ka nilaza taminy hoe: Ireny lehilahy izay nataonareo tao an-tranomaizina ireny, dia indreo izy mitsangana eo an-kianjan’ ny tempoly ka mampianatra ny olona.
And some one came and reported to them: Behold, the men whom you put in prison are standing in the temple, and teaching the people.
26 Dia lasa ny lehiben’ ny mpiambina sy ny mpiandry raharaha ka nitondra azy, nefa tsy nanao mahery, satria natahotra ny vahoaka izy, fandrao hotorahany vato.
Then went the captain with the attendants, and brought them without violence; for they feared the people, lest they should be stoned.
27 Ary rehefa nentiny, dia napetrany teo anatrehan’ ny Synedriona ireo, ary ny mpisoronabe nanontany azy
And when they had brought them, they made them stand before the Sanhedrim; and the chief priest asked them,
28 ka nanao hoe: Efa noraranay mafy dia mafy ianareo tsy hampianatra amin’ izany anarana izany; kanjo, indro, efa nofenoinareo ny fampianaranareo Jerosalema, ka tianareo hankinina aminay ny ran’ izany Lehilahy izany.
saying: Did we not strictly charge you not to teach in this name? And behold, you have filled Jerusalem with your teaching, and you intend to bring this man’s blood upon us.
29 Fa Petera sy ny Apostoly namaly ka nanao hoe: Andriamanitra no tokony hekena mihoatra noho ny olona.
But Peter and the apostles answered and said: We must obey God rather than men.
30 Andriamanitry ny razantsika efa nanangana an’ i Jesosy, Izay novonoin’ ny tananareo nahantonareo teo amin’ ny hazo.
The God of our fathers has raised up Jesus, whom you slew by hanging him on a tree.
31 Izy nasandratry ny tanana ankavanan’ Andriamanitra ho Tompo sy Mpamonjy, hanome fibebahana sy famelan-keloka ho an’ ny Isiraely.
Him has God exalted to his right hand to be a Prince and a Savior, in order to give to Israel repentance and remission of sins:
32 Ary izahay dia vavolombelon’ izany zavatra izany, ary ny Fanahy Masìna koa, Izay efa nomen’ Andriamanitra ny manaiky Azy.
and we are witnesses of these things, and so is the Holy Spirit also, whom God has given to them that obey him.
33 Ary raha nandre izany izy, dia lotika ny fony, ka nihendry hamono azy izy.
And when they heard this, they were enraged; and they determined to put them to death.
34 Dia nitsangana teo amin’ ny Synedriona ny Fariseo anankiray atao hoe Gamaliela, mpampiana-dalàna, izay nalaza teo amin’ ny olona rehetra, ary nasainy navoaka kely ireo olona ireo.
Then arose a certain man in the Sanhedrim, a Pharisee, named Gamaliel, a teacher of the law, who was honored by all the people; and he commanded them to put the apostles out for a little while,
35 Dia hoy izy tamin’ ny namany: Ry lehilahy Isiraely, tandremo tsara izay hataonareo amin’ ireo olona ireo.
and said to them: Men of Israel, consider well with yourselves what you are about to do to these men.
36 Fa nitsangana fahiny Teodasy ka nanao ny tenany ho zavatra; tokony ho efa-jato no isan’ ny lehilahy izay niandany taminy; fa novonoina izy ka nihahaka izay rehetra nanaiky azy ka tonga tsinontsinona.
For before these days Theudas arose, declaring himself to be some great one; to whom a number of men, about four hundred, joined themselves; and he was slain; and all, as many as believed him, were scattered and brought to naught.
37 Ary nanarakaraka azy indray, tamin’ ny andro nanoratana ny vahoaka, dia nitsangana Jodasy avy any Galilia; ary izy nitaona olona hikomy hanaraka azy; dia novonoina koa izy, ka nihahaka izay rehetra nanaiky azy.
After this man, Judas the Galilean arose, in the days of the enrollment, and drew over many people after him; and he was destroyed, and all, as many as believed him, were scattered.
38 Ary ankehitriny dia lazaiko aminareo: Mandefera amin’ ireo olona ireo, ka avelao ihany izy; fa raha avy amin’ olona izao saina na asa izao, dia ho foana;
And now I say to you, keep away from these men, and let them alone; for if this counsel or this work be of men, it will come to an end;
39 fa raha avy amin’ Andriamanitra kosa izao, dia tsy ho azonareo foanana, sao dia miseho ho mpiady amin’ Andriamanitra ianareo.
but if it is of God, you can not bring it to an end: and take heed, lest you be found fighting also against God.
40 Dia nanaiky azy izy; ary rehefa niantso ny Apostoly izy, dia nikapoka azy sady nandrara azy tsy hiteny amin’ ny anaran’ i Jesosy intsony, ary dia nandefa azy handeha.
And they were persuaded by him; and when they had called the apostles in and scourged them, they commanded them not to speak in the name of Jesus, and let them go.
41 Ary ireo dia niala teo anatrehan’ ny Synedriona, sady faly, satria natao miendrika hitondra fahafaham-baraka ho voninahitr’ izany anarana izany.
Then, they went from the presence of the Sanhedrim, rejoicing that they were thought worthy to suffer shame for his name’s sake.
42 Ary tsy nitsahatra nampianatra sy nitory an’ i Jesosy ho Kristy isan’ andro teo an-kianjan’ ny tempoly sy tao an-trano izy.
And daily in the temple, and from house to house, they ceased not to teach and to preach Jesus the Christ.
