Asan'ny Apostoly 13
1 Irezao o mpitoky naho mpañòke mpiamy Fivori’ i Antiokiaio: i Barnabasy naho i Simeona natao Nigera, le i Losio nte-Kirenìa naho i Menahema (i niara-nibey amy Heroda mpanjakay) vaho i Saole.
Now in the assembly that was at Antioch there were some prophets and teachers: Barnabas, Simeon who was called Niger, Lucius of Cyrene, Manaen the foster brother of Herod the tetrarch, and Saul.
2 Ie nitalaho amy Talè naho nililitse, le hoe i Arofo Masiñey: Aviho ho ahy t’i Barnabasy naho i Saole ho ami’ty fitoroñañe ikanjiako iareo.
As they served the Lord and fasted, the Holy Spirit said, “Separate Barnabas and Saul for me, for the work to which I have called them.”
3 Aa ie nililitse naho niloloke, le nampitongoàñe fitàñe vaho nampionjoneñe mb’eo.
Then, when they had fasted and prayed and laid their hands on them, they sent them away.
4 Amy nañiraha’ i Arofo Masiñey, le nizotso mb’e Seleokia mb’eo iereo vaho nijon-dakañe mb’e Kiprosy.
So, being sent out by the Holy Spirit, they went down to Seleucia. From there they sailed to Cyprus.
5 Ie toly e Salamisy le nitaroñe i tsaran’ Añaharey amo fitontona’ o Jiosio. Tam’ iereo ka t’i Jaona ho mpiatrake.
When they were at Salamis, they proclaimed God’s word in the Jewish synagogues. They also had John as their attendant.
6 Ie niranga i toko-nosey naho nandoake Pafo añe, le nifanjò ami’ty mpañorik’ andro, mpitoki-vìlañe Jiosy atao Bar-Iesosy,
When they had gone through the island to Paphos, they found a certain sorcerer, a false prophet, a Jew whose name was Bar Jesus,
7 nireketse amy Sergio Paolo ragova, ondaty mahilala; kinanji’ indatiy t’i Barnabasy naho i Saole fa nipay ty hijanjiñe o tsaran’ Añahareo.
who was with the proconsul, Sergius Paulus, a man of understanding. This man summoned Barnabas and Saul, and sought to hear the word of God.
8 Fe natreatrè i Elima ambiasa (añara’e izay) ie nipay ty hampiamboho i ragovay tsy hiantoke.
But Elymas the sorcerer (for so is his name by interpretation) withstood them, seeking to turn the proconsul away from the faith.
9 Nilifotse i Arofo Masiñey t’i Saole, i natao Paoliy ka, le niharefe’e t’i Elima
But Saul, who is also called Paul, filled with the Holy Spirit, fastened his eyes on him
10 vaho nanoa’e ty hoe: Ty pea ze fonga famañahiañe naho fìtake, ana’ i Ratiy tìa! rafelahi’ ze atao havañonañe! Tsy mete apo’o hao ty fampikelohañ’ o lalam-banta’ i Talèo?
and said, “You son of the devil, full of all deceit and all cunning, you enemy of all righteousness, will you not cease to pervert the right ways of the Lord?
11 Ingo te ama’o henaneo ty fità’ i Talè, le ho goa, tsy hahaisake i àndroy heike. Aa le nivotrak’ ama’e ami’ty manao zao ty zono naho ieñe vaho nitoantoañe mb’eo re nipay ty hitarik’ aze am-pitàñe.
Now, behold, the hand of the Lord is on you, and you will be blind, not seeing the sun for a season!” Immediately a mist and darkness fell on him. He went around seeking someone to lead him by the hand.
12 Ie nioni’ i ragovay i nanoeñey, le niantoke, toe nahavereñ’ aze ty fañòhañe i Talè.
Then the proconsul, when he saw what was done, believed, being astonished at the teaching of the Lord.
13 Aa le nijon-dakañe boake Pafo t’i Paoly naho o rañe’eo nimb’e Perga’ i Pamfilia mb’eo, fe nisitak’ am’iereo t’i Jaona nimpoly mb’e Ierosaleme añe.
Now Paul and his company set sail from Paphos and came to Perga in Pamphylia. John departed from them and returned to Jerusalem.
14 Ie hirike Perga le nandoak’ Antiokia’ i Pisidia, naho niheo am-pitontonañ’ ao ami’ty andro Sabotse vaho niambesatse.
But they, passing on from Perga, came to Antioch of Pisidia. They went into the synagogue on the Sabbath day and sat down.
15 Ie nitampetse ty famakiañe i Hake naho o Mpitokio, le nampanohine’ o mpifehe’ i fitontonañeio ami’ty hoe: O roahalahio, hera aman-tsara mahaosike ondatio, le milañonà.
After the reading of the law and the prophets, the rulers of the synagogue sent to them, saying, “Brothers, if you have any word of exhortation for the people, speak.”
16 Niongake t’i Paoly nanondrotondro fitàñe le nanao ty hoe: Ry nte-Israeleo naho ze mpañeveñe aman’ Añahareo, mijanjiña!
Paul stood up, and gesturing with his hand said, “Men of Israel, and you who fear God, listen.
17 Jinobon’ Añahare’ ondati’ Israele retoañe o roaen-tikañeo, le nonjone’e ondatio t’ie nitaveañe ho renetane an-tane Egipte ao, vaho am-pionjonam-pità’e ty niaoloa’e iareo nienga i taney;
The God of this people chose our fathers, and exalted the people when they stayed as aliens in the land of Egypt, and with an uplifted arm, he led them out of it.
18 Miha-efa-polo taoñe ty nañantoàña’e am-patrambey añe.
For a period of about forty years he put up with them in the wilderness.
19 Ie rineba’e ty fifeheañe fito e Kanana ao, le natolo’e iareo i tane’ iareoy ho lova va’e efajato taoñe tsy limampolo.
When he had destroyed seven nations in the land of Canaan, he gave them their land for an inheritance for about four hundred fifty years.
20 Añe i nitaliliañey, le tinolo’e mpizaka ampara’ i Samoela mpitoky,
After these things, he gave them judges until Samuel the prophet.
21 ie nihalaly mpanjaka iereo, le tinolo’e i Saole ana’ i Kisy, afe’ i Benjamina, efapolo taoñe.
Afterward they asked for a king, and God gave to them Saul the son of Kish, a man of the tribe of Benjamin, for forty years.
22 Ie nasinta’e, le noriza’e t’i Davide ho mpanjaka’ iareo. Le hoe ty nitaroñe’e: Nitreako t’i Davide ana’ Iesesày, ondaty mañorike ty troko; hene hanoe’e o satrikoo.
When he had removed him, he raised up David to be their king, to whom he also testified, ‘I have found David the son of Jesse, a man after my heart, who will do all my will.’
23 Boak’amo tarira’ indatio, ty amy tsara’ey, ty nanesean’ Añahare am’ Israele ty Mpandrombake, Iesoà.
From this man’s offspring, God has brought salvation to Israel according to his promise,
24 Taolo’ ty fiavi’e le nitseize’ i Jaona ty filiporam-pisolohoañe ho amy ze hene ondati’ Israele,
before his coming, when John had first preached the baptism of repentance to Israel.
25 aa ie fa ho niheneke ty fitoroña’ i Jaona le nainai’e nanoa’e ty hoe: Atao’ areo ho ia v’iraho? Tsy ie iraho. Hehe t’ie tonjohize’ ty tsy mañeva ahy hampidraitse o hana’eo.
As John was fulfilling his course, he said, ‘What do you suppose that I am? I am not he. But behold, one comes after me, the sandals of whose feet I am not worthy to untie.’
26 O rolongo, ana’ o tarira’ i Abraàmeo, naho ry mpañeveñe aman’ Añahare ama’ areo, ie nampihitrifañe o entam-pandrombahañe zao.
“Brothers, children of the stock of Abraham, and those among you who fear God, the word of this salvation is sent out to you.
27 Toe nihenefa’ o mpimoneñe e Ierosalemeo naho o mpifehe’eo, ie tsy nahafohiñ’ aze ndra ty talili’ o Mpitoky vakieñe boa-tSabatao, fe nihenefa’iareo ami’ty namàra’ iareo aze.
For those who dwell in Jerusalem, and their rulers, because they did not know him, nor the voices of the prophets which are read every Sabbath, fulfilled them by condemning him.
28 Aa ndra te tsy nioniñe ty tali’ ty hañohofan-doza ama’e, mbe nihalalie’ iereo amy Pilato ty hamonoañe aze.
Though they found no cause for death, they still asked Pilate to have him killed.
29 Ie hene nifonire’ iareo ze pinatetse ty ama’e, le nazotso amy hataey vaho nirohoteñe an-kibory ao,
When they had fulfilled all things that were written about him, they took him down from the tree and laid him in a tomb.
30 f’ie natroan’ Añahare amy havilasiy,
But God raised him from the dead,
31 vaho nahaoniñe aze andro maro o nindre lia ama’e hirike Galilia pake Ierosaleme añeo. Iereo ro valolombeloñe am’ondatio henaneo.
and he was seen for many days by those who came up with him from Galilee to Jerusalem, who are his witnesses to the people.
32 Taroñe’ay ama’ areo i Talili-soa nampitamañe an-droaentikañey
We bring you good news of the promise made to the fathers,
33 t’ie nihenefen’ Añahare aman-tika ana’ iareo, amy nampitroara’e Iesoày. Ie i pinatetse amy Sabo faharoeiy, ty hoe: Anako irehe; Anindroany ty nisamahako azo.
that God has fulfilled this to us, their children, in that he raised up Jesus. As it is also written in the second psalm, ‘You are my Son. Today I have become your father.’
34 Ty hatò’ t’ie nampitroare’e amy havilasiy tsy hibalike mb’am-pihomahañe ao ka, ro tsinara ami’ty hoe: Hatoloko azo o fitahiañe vantañe naho to’ i Davideo.
“Concerning that he raised him up from the dead, now no more to return to corruption, he has spoken thus: ‘I will give you the holy and sure blessings of David.’
35 Hoe ka ty taroñe’ ty ila’e: Ho tana’o tsy hihomake i Masi’oy.
Therefore he says also in another psalm, ‘You will not allow your Holy One to see decay.’
36 I Davide, ie fa nitoroñe o mpiharo-nono ama’eo amy natoron’ Añahare azey, le nirotse naho nirohoteñe aman-droae’e ao t’ie nihomake.
For David, after he had in his own generation served the counsel of God, fell asleep, was laid with his fathers, and saw decay.
37 Fe tsy nimomoke i natroan’ Añahare amy havilasiy.
But he whom God raised up saw no decay.
38 Aa le mahafohina ry longo, te indatiy ro itaroñañe ty fisolohoañe amo tahiñeo,
Be it known to you therefore, brothers, that through this man is proclaimed to you remission of sins;
39 le ie ro añahàñe o mpiatoo amy ze hene raha tsy nilefe’ i Hà’ i Mosèy hahàñe.
and by him everyone who believes is justified from all things, from which you could not be justified by the law of Moses.
40 Mitaoa arè, kera hizò i nisaontsieñe amo Mpitokio ty hoe:
Beware therefore, lest that come on you which is spoken in the prophets:
41 Oniño ry mpanivetive, mañaraharà vaho mikoromaha, fa hitoloñe am-pitoloñañe amo andro’areoo iraho, fitoloñañe tsy hiantofa’ondaty, ndra te eo ty hampalange aze ama’areo.
‘Behold, you scoffers! Wonder and perish, for I work a work in your days, a work which you will in no way believe, if one declares it to you.’”
42 Aa ie niakatse o Jiosio, le nihalalie’ ondatio te ho lañoneñe ami’ty Sabotse here’e i tsara zay.
So when the Jews went out of the synagogue, the Gentiles begged that these words might be preached to them the next Sabbath.
43 Ie nigadoñe i fivoriy, maro amo Jiosio naho amo mpitalaho nivalike ho Jiosio ty nañorike i Paoly naho i Barnabasy ze nitaroñe am’iereo, nañosike iareo hifahatse amy hasoan’ Añaharey.
Now when the synagogue broke up, many of the Jews and of the devout proselytes followed Paul and Barnabas; who, speaking to them, urged them to continue in the grace of God.
44 Ie amy Sabata here’ey, didý tsy i rova iabiy ty nifanontoñe hijanjiñe o tsaran’ Añahareo.
The next Sabbath, almost the whole city was gathered together to hear the word of God.
45 Aa naho niisa’ o Jiosio i màroy, le niliforem-parahy vaho niliere’ iereo o raha nisaontsie’ i Paolio.
But when the Jews saw the multitudes, they were filled with jealousy, and contradicted the things which were spoken by Paul, and blasphemed.
46 Nanoiñe ty hoe am-pahavaniañe t’i Paoly naho i Barnabasy: Tsy mete tsy nitaroña’ay hey i tsaran’ Añaharey, fe kanao nikihoe’ areo le nizaka-vatañe t’ie tsy mañeva i haveloñe nainai’ey, inao arè! mitolik’ amo kilakila ondatio zahay (aiōnios g166)
Paul and Barnabas spoke out boldly, and said, "It was necessary that God's word should be spoken to you first. Since indeed you thrust it from yourselves, and judge yourselves unworthy of consummate (aiōnios g166) life, behold, we turn to the Gentiles.
47 amy nandilia’ i Talè anaiy, ty hoe: Nanoeko hazavàñe amo kilakila ‘ndatio irehe, hinday fandrombahañe sikal’ añ’ olo-ty tane toy añe.
For so has the Lord commanded us, saying, ‘I have set you as a light for the Gentiles, that you should bring salvation to the uttermost parts of the earth.’”
48 Ie jinanji’ o kilakila ondatio izay le niehake vaho niasy ty tsara’ Iehovà; vaho hene niantoke ze tinendre ho amy haveloñe nainai’ey. (aiōnios g166)
As the Gentiles heard this, they were glad and glorified the word of God. As many as were appointed to consummate (aiōnios g166) life believed.
49 Le niboele nahatsitsike i taney ty tsara’ Iehovà.
The Lord’s word was spread abroad throughout all the region.
50 Fe sinigì’ o Tehodao o rakemba bey mpitalahoo naho ondaty bei’ i rovaio, le trinobo’ iereo fampisoañañe amy Paoly naho i Barnabasy vaho rinoa’ iereo amy taney.
But the Jews stirred up the devout and prominent women and the chief men of the city, and stirred up a persecution against Paul and Barnabas, and threw them out of their borders.
51 Aa le nabò’ iereo ama’e ty lembok’ am-pandia’ iareo naho nimb’e Ikonioma añe,
But they shook off the dust of their feet against them, and came to Iconium.
52 vaho nilifotse ty ehake naho i Arofo Masiñey o mpiòkeo.
The disciples were filled with joy and with the Holy Spirit.
