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 an estate,
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 secreted a part of the price, his wife also, being privy to it: and bringing a certain part, he laid it down 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 impose on the Holy Spirit, and to secrete a 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, did it not continue yours? and when it was sold, was it not at your own disposal? Why have you admitted this thing into 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 Ananias, hearing these words, fell down and expired: and great fear fell on all that heard these things.
6 Ary nitsangana ny zatovo, dia nofonosiny ny faty ka nentiny nivoaka, dia naleviny.
Then the young men arose, and bound him up, and carrying him out, they buried him.
7 Fa rehefa afaka tokony ho ora telo, dia niditra koa ny vavy, nefa tsy fantany izay efa nanjo teo.
After the interval of about three hours, his wife, also, not knowing what was 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 said to her, Tell me whether you sold the land for so much. And she said, 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.
Then Peter said to her, How is it that you have conspired together to tempt the Spirit of the Lord? Behold the feet of those who have been burying 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 immediately she fell down at his feet, and expired: and the young men coming in, found her dead, and carried her out, and buried her by her husband.
11 Dia raiki-tahotra indrindra ny fiangonana rehetra sy izay rehetra nandre izany.
And great fear came on all the assembly, 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 unanimously in Solomon's portico;
13 ary tsy nisy tamin’ ny olona sisa rehetra sahy niray taminy; nefa nankalaza azy ny vahoaka.
and not one of the rest presumed to 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 were more and more added to the Lord, 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.
insomuch that along the streets they brought out the sick, and laid them on beds, and couches, that even the shadow of Peter, coming by, might overshadow 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 multitudes also, out of the cities round about, came together to Jerusalem, bringing the sick, and those that were troubled with unclean spirits, who were all healed.
17 Ary nitsangana ny mpisoronabe mbamin’ ny namany rehetra (izay antokon’ ny Sadoseo), fa feno fialonana izy,
But the high priest arising, and all they that were him, being the sect of the Sadducees, were filled with zeal,
18 dia nisambotra ny Apostoly izy ka nanao azy tao an-tranomaizina.
and laid their hands on the Apostles, and put them into the common prison.
19 Fa nisy anjelin’ ny Tompo namoha ny varavaran’ ny tranomaizina nony alina, dia nitondra azy nivoaka ka nanao hoe:
But a messenger of the Lord, by night, opened the doors of the prison, and bringing them out, said,
20 Mandehana, ka mitsangàna, ary mitoria amin’ ny vahoaka eo an-kianjan’ ny tempoly ny teny rehetra milaza izany fiainana izany.
Go, and presenting yourselves in the temple, 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 hearing this, they went very early into the temple, and taught. But the high priest being come, and they that were with him, they called together the Sanhedrim, even the whole Senate of the children 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 officers came, they found them not in the prison. Returning, therefore, they made their report,
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, indeed, the prison shut with all safety, and the keepers standing before the doors; but, having opened them, 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.
Now, when the high priest, and the captain of the temple guard, and the chief priests heard these words, they doubted concerning them, what this could be.
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.
But one came, and told 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 the captain went, with the officers, and brought them, (not by 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 set them before the Sanhedrim. And the high 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, that you should not teach in this name? and behold, you have filled Jerusalem with your doctrine, and would 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 other Apostles answered, and said, It is necessary to 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, 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 at his right hand, a Prince and Saviour, to give reformation to Israel, 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 the Holy Spirit also, whom God has given to them who submit to his government.
33 Ary raha nandre izany izy, dia lotika ny fony, ka nihendry hamono azy izy.
And when they heard this, they were enraged, and consulted 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.
But a certain Pharisee in the Sanhedrim, whose name was Gamaliel, a doctor of law, in great esteem among all the people, rose up, and commanded the Apostles to be taken out for a little while;
35 Dia hoy izy tamin’ ny namany: Ry lehilahy Isiraely, tandremo tsara izay hataonareo amin’ ireo olona ireo.
and he said to them, Men of Israel, take heed to 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.
Some time ago Theudas arose, pretending himself to be a person of note: to whom a number of men, about four hundred, adhered, who was slain; and all who hearkened to him were scattered, and came to nothing.
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 him, Judas, the Galilean, arose, in the days of the enrollment, and drew a multitude of people after him, and he was destroyed; and all who hearkened to him were dispersed.
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, in the present case, I say to you, Refrain from these men, and let them alone: for if this design and work be of men, it will be defeated;
39 fa raha avy amin’ Andriamanitra kosa izao, dia tsy ho azonareo foanana, sao dia miseho ho mpiady amin’ Andriamanitra ianareo.
but if it be of God, you can not defeat them: lest, perhaps, you be found fighters 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 yielded to him; and having called in the Apostles, and scourged them, they charged them not to speak in the name of Jesus, and dismissed them.
41 Ary ireo dia niala teo anatrehan’ ny Synedriona, sady faly, satria natao miendrika hitondra fahafaham-baraka ho voninahitr’ izany anarana izany.
And they departed from the presence of the Sanhedrim. rejoicing that they were counted worthy to be exposed to infamy for the sake of his name.
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 declare the good news, that Jesus is the Messiah.
