Asan'ny Apostoly 5
1 Fa nisy kosa lehilahy atao hoe Ananiasy sy Safira vadiny nivarotra tany,
But a certain man named Ananias, together with Sapphira his wife,
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.
sold a possession, and secreted part of the price, his wife also being conscious to it; and bringing: some part, 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 hath Satan so filled thine heart, that thou shouldst lie to the holy Ghost, 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, did it not remain thy own? and when sold, was it not in thy own power? what is the meaning that thou hast taken this into thine heart? Thou hast not lyed 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 at the hearing of these words 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 some of the young men arose, and wrapped him up; and they 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 about the space of three hours after, his wife also 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.
And Peter said to her, Tell me whether ye 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 unto her, Wherefore have ye agreed together to tempt the Spirit of the Lord? behold the feet of those, who have been burying thy husband, now at the door, and they shall carry thee 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 they 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 upon the whole assembly, and upon 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 by the hands of the apostles were many signs and wonders done among the people: And they all met with one accord in Solomon's portico:
13 ary tsy nisy tamin’ ny olona sisa rehetra sahy niray taminy; nefa nankalaza azy ny vahoaka.
but no other presumed to join himself to them; however the people magnified them.
14 Ary vao mainka nisy olona maro koa na lahy na vavy izay nino ny Tompo nanampy ho isany;
And true believers were the more willingly added to the Lord, even 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 they brought the sick out into the streets, and laid them on beds and couches, that at lest the shadow of Peter, as he came by, might pass over 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 a great number out of the cities round about also came together to Jerusalem, bringing those that were infirm and that were troubled with impure spirits; and they were all cured.
17 Ary nitsangana ny mpisoronabe mbamin’ ny namany rehetra (izay antokon’ ny Sadoseo), fa feno fialonana izy,
Then the high priest rose up, and all that were with him, (being of the sect of the sadducees, ) and were filled with rage:
18 dia nisambotra ny Apostoly izy ka nanao azy tao an-tranomaizina.
and 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 having brought 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 stand and speak in the temple 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 early in the morning into the temple and taught the people. But the high priest being come, and they that were with him, to the council-chamber, they called together the Sanhedrim, and all the senate of the children of Israel, and sent orders to the prison that they should be 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 came they found them not in the prison: so they returned,
23 Ny tranomaizina dia hitanay mihidy tsara, ary ny mpiambina mitsangana eo am-baravarana; kanefa nony novohanay, dia tsy nahita olona tao izahay.
and told them, saying, the prison we found shut with all safety, and the keepers standing without before the doors: but when we opened them, we found no body 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, and the chief priests heard these words, they were in doubt concerning them, what this would come to;
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.
when there came one and told them, saying, behold, the men whom ye put in prison, are in the temple 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, but not with violence; for they were afraid of the people least 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 council. 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 not we strictly charge you not to teach in this name? and behold ye 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, We ought 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 hath raised up Jesus whom ye slew and hanged on a tree.
31 Izy nasandratry ny tanana ankavanan’ Andriamanitra ho Tompo sy Mpamonjy, hanome fibebahana sy famelan-keloka ho an’ ny Isiraely.
Him hath God exalted with his right hand as a prince and saviour, to give 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.
and we are his witnesses of what we declare; and so is the holy Spirit, whom God hath 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 cut to the heart, and took counsel 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, named Gamaliel, a doctor of the law, held in much esteem by all the people, stood up in the council, and ordered the apostles to be taken out a little while; and then he said unto them,
35 Dia hoy izy tamin’ ny namany: Ry lehilahy Isiraely, tandremo tsara izay hataonareo amin’ ireo olona ireo.
Men of Israel, take heed to yourselves, what ye are about to do, as 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 some time ago one Theudas arose, pretending to be some extraordinary person, to whom was joined a number of men, about four hundred: who was slain, and all that followed him were dispersed 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 arose Judas the Galilean, at the time of the registring, and drew much people after him: but he also perished, and all that followed 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 therefore as to the present affair I advise you to refrain from these men and let them alone: for if this counsel or this work be of men, it will come to nothing;
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, ye cannot defeat it, least ye be found fighting even 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.
So they took his advice, and having called for the apostles and scourged them, they charged 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.
And they departed from the presence of the council rejoicing that they were counted worthy to suffer disgrace for 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 every day in the temple and from house to house they ceased not from teaching and preaching that Jesus was the Christ.
