Asan'ny Apostoly 10
1 Te Kaisaria añe t’indaty atao Kornelio, mpifehe zato amy firimboñañe atao nte-Italiy.
At Caesarea there was a man named Cornelius, a centurion in what was called the Italian Regiment.
2 Ie ondaty vañoñe naho mpañeveñe aman’ Añahare rekets’ o añ’anjomba’e iabio, naho mpanolotse falalàñe am-patarihañe amo rarakeo vaho mpitalaho aman’ Añahare.
He and all his household were devout and God-fearing. He gave generously to the people and prayed to God regularly.
3 Aa ie va’e amy ora faha-sive’ i àndroiy te nioni’e malange añ’ aroñaroñe ty anjelin’ Añahare nisodehañe ama’e nanao ty hoe: O Kornelio!
One day at about the ninth hour, he had a clear vision of an angel of God who came to him and said, “Cornelius!”
4 Ie niisa’ i Kornelio le nianifañe vaho hoe ty natoi’e: Akore Roandriañeo? Le hoe re tama’e: Fa nionjoñe hoe banabana faniahiañe aman’ Añahare o fitalahoa’oo naho o falalà’oo.
Cornelius stared at him in fear and asked, “What is it, Lord?” The angel answered, “Your prayers and gifts to the poor have ascended as a memorial offering before God.
5 Aa le mañitrifa ondaty mb’e Jopa añe vaho kanjio ty atao Simona, i Petera ka ty añara’e.
Now send men to Joppa to call for a man named Simon who is called Peter.
6 Ie mañialo amy Simona mpandon-kolitse ao; añ’olo-driake ey ty anjomba’e.
He is staying with Simon the tanner, whose house is by the sea.”
7 Ie nienga i Kornelio i anjely nisaontsy ama’ey, le kinanji’e ty roe amo mpitoro’eo naho ty lahin-defo’e mpañorike Hake amo mpiatrak’ azeo,
When the angel who spoke to him had gone, Cornelius called two of his servants and a devout soldier from among his attendants.
8 le hene natalili’e vaho nampihitrife’e mb’e Jopa añe.
He explained what had happened and sent them to Joppa.
9 Amy loak-androy, ie mbe an-dalañe nañarivo i rovay, le niañambone mb’an-tafo mb’eo t’i Petera hitalaho ami’ty ora fah’ eneñe.
The next day at about the sixth hour, as the men were approaching the city on their journey, Peter went up on the roof to pray.
10 Ndra nisaliko re te hikama, fe mbe nihalankañeñe, vaho niaroñaroñe.
He became hungry and wanted something to eat, but while the meal was being prepared, he fell into a trance.
11 Zoe’e te nisokafeñe i likerañey naho nizotso ty raha jabajaba hoe lamba, nazetse mb’ an-tane atoy an-kotso’e efatse.
He saw heaven open and something like a large sheet being let down to earth by its four corners.
12 Ama’e ao ze fonga bibi’ ty tane toy aman-tomboke efatse naho ze raha milaly, vaho voron-dikerañe.
It contained all kinds of four-footed animals and reptiles of the earth, as well as birds of the air.
13 Le niheo ama’e ty fiarañanañañe nanao ty hoe: Miongaha Petera; lentao vaho mikamà.
Then a voice said to him: “Get up, Peter, kill and eat!”
14 Fa hoe t’i Petera, Sondo’e amako Rañandria! Mbe liako tsy nitsopeke raha faly ndra maloto.
“No, Lord!” Peter answered. “I have never eaten anything impure or unclean.”
15 Inao i fiarañanañañey fañindroe’e: Ko atao faly ze fa nilioven’ Añahare.
The voice spoke to him a second time: “Do not call anything impure that God has made clean.”
16 Nanoeñe in-telo izay vaho rinambe andindìñe ao i rahay.
This happened three times, and all at once the sheet was taken back up into heaven.
17 Ie naereñere’ i Petera ty foto’ i aroñaroñe nioni’ey, inay indaty nirahe’ i Kornelio rey, nañontane i anjomba’ i Simonay ie fa nijohañe an-dalam-bey eo
While Peter was puzzling over the meaning of the vision, the men sent by Cornelius found Simon’s house and approached the gate.
18 nikanjy, nañontane he imoneña’ i Simona atao Petera.
They called out to ask if Simon called Peter was staying there.
19 Ie mbe nitsakore i aroñaroñey t’i Petera, le hoe i Arofoy ama’e: Inay, ipaia’ t’indaty telo;
As Peter continued to reflect on the vision, the Spirit said to him, “Behold, three men are looking for you.
20 miongaha, mizotsoa mb’ ambane ao, le ko mihakahaka fa indrezo; izaho ty nañitrike iareo.
So get up! Go downstairs and accompany them without hesitation, because I have sent them.”
21 Nizotso mb’am’ indaty rey t’i Petera, le nanao ty hoe, Izaho ty paia’ areo, ino ty talin-dia’ areo mb’etoa?
So Peter went down to the men and said, “Here am I, the one you are looking for. Why have you come?”
22 Hoe iareo: i Kornelio, mpifehe zato, ondaty vañoñe naho mpañeveñe aman’ Añahare, soa talily amy ze hene Jiosy, nitoroa’ ty anjely masiñe ty hañitrik’ azo homb’ añ’ anjomba’e añe hijanjiña’e tsara.
“Cornelius the centurion has sent us,” they said. “He is a righteous and God-fearing man with a good reputation among the whole Jewish nation. A holy angel instructed him to request your presence in his home so he could hear a message from you.”
23 Aa le nampihovae’ i Petera vaho nanoe’e añ’anjomba. Ie amy loak’ àndroy, niavotse le nindre fañavelo am’iereo t’i Petera, naho nitrao-lia ama’e ty ila’ o roahalahy nte Jopao,
So Peter invited them in as his guests. And the next day he got ready and went with them, accompanied by some of the brothers from Joppa.
24 vaho nandoake e Kaisaria ao ami’ty loak’ andro. Nitamà iareo t’i Kornelio le fa natonto’e o longo’eo naho o rañe’eo.
The following day he arrived in Caesarea, where Cornelius was expecting them and had called together his relatives and close friends.
25 Nizilike t’i Petera le nanalaka aze t’i Kornelio naho nitongalek’ am-pandia’e eo niambane ama’e.
As Peter was about to enter, Cornelius met him and fell at his feet to worship him.
26 F’ie nampiongahe’ i Petera ami’ty hoe: Miongaha, ondaty ka iraho.
But Peter helped him up. “Stand up,” he said, “I am only a man myself.”
27 Ie nifanaontsy, le nizilik’ ao nitendreke ondaty maro tafavory.
As Peter talked with him, he went inside and found many people gathered together.
28 Hoe re tama’e: Fohi’ areo te talia faly amy t’indaty Jiosy ty hitraoke ndra hitilike ondaty hafa razañe. Fe natoron’ Añahare ahy te tsy hataoko tsotra ndra maloto ze ondaty.
He said to them, “You know how unlawful it is for a Jew to associate with a foreigner or visit him. But God has shown me that I should not call any man impure or unclean.
29 Aa le tsy niliereko ty homb’ eto te nikanjieñe, ie amy zao añontaneako anahareo ty talim-pañitrifañ’ ahiko?
So when I was invited, I came without objection. I ask, then, why have you sent for me?”
30 Le hoe t’i Kornelio: Ie efats’ andro izay ami’ty ora zao, izaho nilolok’ an-trañoko ao ami’ty ora faha-sive, le naheoko nijohañe añatrefako eo t’indaty an-tsaroñe mireandreañe,
Cornelius answered: “Four days ago I was in my house praying at this, the ninth hour. Suddenly a man in radiant clothing stood before me
31 le hoe re: O Kornelio, jinanjiñe i filolofa’oy, vaho tiahy añatrefan’ Añahare o fatariha’oo.
and said, ‘Cornelius, your prayer has been heard, and your gifts to the poor have been remembered before God.
32 Aa le ampañitrifo e Jopa añe t’i Simona atao Petera, mitobok’ añ’ anjomba’ i Simona mpandòñ’ angozy, añ’ olo-driak’ ao.
Therefore send to Joppa for Simon, who is called Peter. He is a guest in the home of Simon the tanner, by the sea.’
33 Le nampihitrifeko amy zao, vaho nahasoa anay ty fitotsaha’o atoy. Intoañe iaby zahay añatrefan’ Añahare hitsendreñe ze hene saontsy nandilia’ i Talè azo.
So I sent for you immediately, and you were kind enough to come. Now then, we are all here in the presence of God to listen to everything the Lord has instructed you to tell us.”
34 Aa le nanoka-palie t’i Petera, nanao ty hoe: Toe oniñe henaneo te tsy mirihy ondaty t’i Andrianañahare,
Then Peter began to speak: “I now truly understand that God does not show favoritism,
35 te mone no’e ze ondaty mañeveñe ama’e naho mitoloñe an-kavantañañe, ndra fifeheañ’ aia aia ty imoneña’e.
but welcomes those from every nation who fear Him and do what is right.
36 I tsara niraheñe amo ana’ Israeleoy mitaroñe fifampilongoañe añam’ Iesoà Norizañey (Ie ro Talè ze he’e):
He has sent this message to the people of Israel, proclaiming the gospel of peace through Jesus Christ, who is Lord of all.
37 Fohi’areo ze raha nañatseke Iehodà, nifototse e Galilia, ie fa añe ty fandiporañe nitaroñe’ i Jaonay—
You yourselves know what has happened throughout Judea, beginning in Galilee with the baptism that John proclaimed:
38 ty nañorizan’ Añahare Iesoà nte Nazareta amy Arofo Masiñey naho an-kaozarañe, ie nimbeo mbeo nanao soa naho nampijangañe ze fonga niforekekè’ i Ratiy, amy te nañimba aze t’i Andrianañahare.
how God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Spirit and with power, and how Jesus went around doing good and healing all who were oppressed by the devil, because God was with Him.
39 Valolombeloñe amy ze hene nanoe’e an-tanen-Jiosy naho e Ierosaleme ao zahay, ie vinono’ iareo ami’ty nampiradoradoañ’ aze an-katae,
We are witnesses of all that He did, both in the land of the Jews and in Jerusalem. And although they put Him to death by hanging Him on a tree,
40 f’ie natroan’ Añahare amy havilasiy ami’ty andro fahatelo le naboa’e ho vazoho,
God raised Him up on the third day and caused Him to be seen—
41 tsy ze fonga ondaty, fa o valolombeloñe jinobon’ Añahare aoloo, zahay nitrao-pikama naho finoñe ama’e ie fa nitroatse amy havilasiy.
not by all the people, but by the witnesses God had chosen beforehand, by us who ate and drank with Him after He rose from the dead.
42 Le linili’e hitaroñe am’ondatio zahay, hitalily an-katò t’ie i norizan’ Añahare ho mpizaka o veloñeo naho o vilasioy.
And He commanded us to preach to the people and to testify that He is the One appointed by God to judge the living and the dead.
43 Ie ty taroñe’ ze mpitoky iaby, te i tahina’e ty handrambesa’ ze hene miato ama’e fañahan-kakeo.
All the prophets testify about Him that everyone who believes in Him receives forgiveness of sins through His name.”
44 Ie mbe nisaontsy izay t’i Petera, le nivotrak’ amo nahajanjiñe i tsaraio i Arofo Masiñey.
While Peter was still speaking these words, the Holy Spirit fell upon all who heard his message.
45 Fonga nilatsa o mpiato sinavatse nindre amy Peterao, amy te nadoañe amo kilakila ondatio ka ty falalà’ i Arofo Masiñey,
All the circumcised believers who had accompanied Peter were astounded that the gift of the Holy Spirit had been poured out even on the Gentiles.
46 ie jinanji’ iareo te nilikoliko naho nandrenge an’ Andrianañahare, le hoe t’i Petera:
For they heard them speaking in tongues and exalting God. Then Peter said,
47 Ia ty handrara rano am’ iretoañe tsy hilipotse? ie rinambe’ iereo manahak’ antika i Arofo Masiñey!
“Can anyone withhold the water to baptize these people? They have received the Holy Spirit just as we have!”
48 Aa le linili’e t’ie ho liporeñe amy tahina’ i Talè Iesoày; le nihalalie’ iereo t’ie hañialo ao andro tsy ampeampe.
So he ordered that they be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ. Then they asked him to stay for a few days.
