Asan'ny Apostoly 5
1 Fa nisy kosa lehilahy atao hoe Ananiasy sy Safira vadiny nivarotra tany,
Now a man named Ananias, along with his wife Sapphira, sold a piece of property
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 some of the proceeds, with his wife also being aware of it. He brought a portion of the proceeds and laid it at the apostles' feet.
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 yoʋr heart to lie to the Holy Spirit and keep back some of the proceeds of the plot of 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, did it not remain yoʋrs? And once it was sold, was it not under yoʋr control? How is it that yoʋ have put this thing in yoʋr heart? Yoʋ 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.
When Ananias heard these words, he fell down and breathed his last breath. And great fear came upon all who heard about it.
6 Ary nitsangana ny zatovo, dia nofonosiny ny faty ka nentiny nivoaka, dia naleviny.
Then the young men rose, wrapped up his body, 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.
About three hours later, his wife came in, not knowing what had happened.
8 Ary hoy Petera taminy: Lazao amiko: Izany ihany va no vola vidin’ ny taninareo? Dia hoy izy: Eny, izany ihany.
Peter said to her, “Tell me if you sold the plot of land for such and such a price.” She said, “Yes, for such a price.”
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.
Peter said to her, “Why is it that you have agreed to put the Spirit of the Lord to the test? Behold, the feet of those who buried yoʋr husband are at the door, and they will carry yoʋ 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.
At once she fell down at his feet and breathed her last breath. When the young men came in, they found her dead, so they carried her out and buried her beside her husband.
11 Dia raiki-tahotra indrindra ny fiangonana rehetra sy izay rehetra nandre izany.
And great fear came upon the whole church and upon all who 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;
Now many signs and wonders were taking place among the people by the hands of the apostles, and all the believers were together with one accord in Solomon's portico.
13 ary tsy nisy tamin’ ny olona sisa rehetra sahy niray taminy; nefa nankalaza azy ny vahoaka.
No one else dared to join them, but the people held them in high regard.
14 Ary vao mainka nisy olona maro koa na lahy na vavy izay nino ny Tompo nanampy ho isany;
Yet more and more people believed in the Lord and were added to their number, a multitude of both 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.
As a result, people carried the sick out into the streets and laid them on beds and mats, so that when Peter came by at least his shadow might fall on one 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.
A multitude from the towns all around Jerusalem also gathered together, bringing the sick and those harassed by unclean spirits, and they were all healed.
17 Ary nitsangana ny mpisoronabe mbamin’ ny namany rehetra (izay antokon’ ny Sadoseo), fa feno fialonana izy,
Then the high priest rose up, along with all who were with him (that is, the sect of the Sadducees), and they were filled with jealousy.
18 dia nisambotra ny Apostoly izy ka nanao azy tao an-tranomaizina.
So they arrested the apostles and put them in a public jail.
19 Fa nisy anjelin’ ny Tompo namoha ny varavaran’ ny tranomaizina nony alina, dia nitondra azy nivoaka ka nanao hoe:
But during the night an angel of the Lord opened the doors of the prison, 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 courts and tell the people everything about this new 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.
When they heard this, they entered the temple courts at dawn and began teaching. When the high priest came, along with those who were with him, they called together the Sanhedrin—that is, the entire eldership of the people of Israel—and sent officers to the prison to have the apostles brought before them.
22 Fa nony tonga ny mpiandry raharaha, dia tsy nahita azy tao an-tranomaizina; dia niverina izy ka nilaza hoe:
But when the officers arrived, they did not find them in the prison. So 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.
“We found the prison locked up in complete security and the guards standing in front of the doors, but when we opened the doors, we found no one inside.”
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 high priest, the captain of the temple guard, and the chief priests heard this report, they were greatly perplexed by it, wondering what might come of this.
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.
Then someone came and told them, “Behold, the men you put in prison are standing in the temple courts 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.
So the captain went with the officers and brought the apostles without the use of force, for they were afraid the people might stone them.
27 Ary rehefa nentiny, dia napetrany teo anatrehan’ ny Synedriona ireo, ary ny mpisoronabe nanontany azy
After bringing the apostles in, they had them stand before the Sanhedrin, 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.
“Did we not strictly command you not to teach in this name? Yet behold, you have filled Jerusalem with your teaching, and you are determined to bring the blood of this man 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, “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 raised up Jesus, whom you murdered by hanging him on a cross.
31 Izy nasandratry ny tanana ankavanan’ Andriamanitra ho Tompo sy Mpamonjy, hanome fibebahana sy famelan-keloka ho an’ ny Isiraely.
God exalted him to his right hand as Leader and Savior to grant repentance 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.
Concerning these things we are his witnesses, and so is the Holy Spirit, whom God has given to those who obey him.”
33 Ary raha nandre izany izy, dia lotika ny fony, ka nihendry hamono azy izy.
When they heard this, they were furious and resolved 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 Pharisee named Gamaliel, a teacher of the law who was held in honor by all the people, stood up in the Sanhedrin and gave orders to put the apostles outside for a little while.
35 Dia hoy izy tamin’ ny namany: Ry lehilahy Isiraely, tandremo tsara izay hataonareo amin’ ireo olona ireo.
Then he said to the Sanhedrin, “Men of Israel, give careful consideration to 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 rose up, declaring himself to be somebody, and a number of men, about four hundred, responded to the call to join him. He was put to death, and all his followers 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 this man, Judas the Galilean rose up in the days of the census and drew away many people after him. He also perished, and all his followers 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;
So I say to you now, keep away from these men and leave them alone, for if this plan or this undertaking is of men, it will be stopped;
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 cannot put a stop to it. You will only find yourselves fighting 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.
They were persuaded by him, and after calling in the apostles, they beat them, commanded them not to speak in the name of Jesus, and released them.
41 Ary ireo dia niala teo anatrehan’ ny Synedriona, sady faly, satria natao miendrika hitondra fahafaham-baraka ho voninahitr’ izany anarana izany.
So the apostles went out from the presence of the Sanhedrin, rejoicing that they had been considered worthy to suffer dishonor for the name of Jesus.
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 every day, in the temple courts and from house to house, they did not cease teaching and preaching the good news that Jesus is the Christ.
