< 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 there were in the church that was at Antioch certain prophets and teachers; as Barnabas, and Simeon that was called Niger, and Lucius of Cyrene, and Manaen, who had been brought up with 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 ministered to the Lord, and fasted, the Holy Spirit said, Separate for me Barnabas and Saul, for the work to which I have called them.
3 Aa ie nililitse naho niloloke, le nampitongoàñe fitàñe vaho nampionjoneñe mb’eo.
And 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 they being sent forth by the Holy Spirit, departed to Seleucia; and from thence 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.
And when they were at Salamis, they preached the word of God in the synagogues of the Jews. And they had also John for [their] minister.
6 Ie niranga i toko-nosey naho nandoake Pafo añe, le nifanjò ami’ty mpañorik’ andro, mpitoki-vìlañe Jiosy atao Bar-Iesosy,
And when they had gone through the isle to Paphos, they found a certain sorcerer, a false prophet, a Jew, whose name [was] Barjesus:
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 deputy of the country, Sergius Paulus, a prudent man; who called for Barnabas and Saul, and desired 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 away the deputy from the faith.
9 Nilifotse i Arofo Masiñey t’i Saole, i natao Paoliy ka, le niharefe’e t’i Elima
Then Saul (who also [is called] Paul) filled with the Holy Spirit, set 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, O full of all subtilty, and all mischief, [thou] child of the devil, [thou] enemy of all righteousness, wilt thou 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.
And now behold, the hand of the Lord [is] upon thee, and thou shalt be blind, not seeing the sun for a season. And immediately there fell on him a mist and a darkness; and he went about seeking some to lead him by the hand.
12 Ie nioni’ i ragovay i nanoeñey, le niantoke, toe nahavereñ’ aze ty fañòhañe i Talè.
Then the deputy, when he saw what was done, believed, being astonished at the doctrine 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 when Paul and his company loosed from Paphos, they came to Perga in Pamphylia. And John departing from them, returned to Jerusalem.
14 Ie hirike Perga le nandoak’ Antiokia’ i Pisidia, naho niheo am-pitontonañ’ ao ami’ty andro Sabotse vaho niambesatse.
But when they departed from Perga, they came to Antioch in Pisidia, and went into the synagogue on the sabbath, 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.
And after the reading of the law and the prophets, the rulers of the synagogue sent to them, saying, Men, brethren, if ye 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!
Then Paul stood up, and beckoning with [his] hand, said, Men of Israel, and ye that fear God, give audience.
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 Israel chose our fathers, and exalted the people when they dwelt as strangers in the land of Egypt, and with a high arm he brought them out of it.
18 Miha-efa-polo taoñe ty nañantoàña’e am-patrambey añe.
And about the time of forty years he suffered their manners 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.
And when he had destroyed seven nations in the land of Canaan, he divided their land to them by lot.
20 Añe i nitaliliañey, le tinolo’e mpizaka ampara’ i Samoela mpitoky,
And after that he gave [to them] judges, about the space of four hundred and fifty years, until Samuel the prophet.
21 ie nihalaly mpanjaka iereo, le tinolo’e i Saole ana’ i Kisy, afe’ i Benjamina, efapolo taoñe.
And afterward they desired a king: and God gave to them Saul the son of Kish, a man of the tribe of Benjamin, by the space of 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.
And when he had removed him, he raised up to them David to be their king: to whom also he gave testimony, and said, I have found David the [son] of Jesse, a man after my own heart, who shall fulfill all my will.
23 Boak’amo tarira’ indatio, ty amy tsara’ey, ty nanesean’ Añahare am’ Israele ty Mpandrombake, Iesoà.
Of this man's offspring hath God, according to [his] promise, raised up to Israel a Savior, Jesus:
24 Taolo’ ty fiavi’e le nitseize’ i Jaona ty filiporam-pisolohoañe ho amy ze hene ondati’ Israele,
John having first preached, before his coming, the baptism of repentance to all the people of 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.
And as John fulfilled his course, he said, Whom think ye that I am? I am not [he]. But behold, there cometh one after me, whose shoes of [his] feet I am not worthy to loose.
26 O rolongo, ana’ o tarira’ i Abraàmeo, naho ry mpañeveñe aman’ Añahare ama’ areo, ie nampihitrifañe o entam-pandrombahañe zao.
Men, brethren, children of the stock of Abraham, and whoever among you feareth God, to you is the word of this salvation sent.
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 they that dwell at Jerusalem, and their rulers, because they knew him not, nor yet the words of the prophets which are read every sabbath, they have fulfilled [them] in condemning [him].
28 Aa ndra te tsy nioniñe ty tali’ ty hañohofan-doza ama’e, mbe nihalalie’ iereo amy Pilato ty hamo­noañe aze.
And though they found no cause of death [in him], yet they desired Pilate that he should be put to death.
29 Ie hene nifonire’ iareo ze pinatetse ty ama’e, le nazotso amy hataey vaho nirohoteñe an-kibory ao,
And when they had fulfilled all that was written concerning him, they took [him] down from the tree, and laid [him] in a sepulcher.
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 many days by them 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
And we declare to you the glad tidings, that the promise which was 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.
God hath fulfilled the same to us their children, in that he hath raised up Jesus again; as it is also written in the second psalm, Thou art my Son, this day have I begotten thee.
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.
And as concerning that he raised him from the dead, [now] no more to return to corruption, he said on this wise, I will give you the sure mercies of David.
35 Hoe ka ty taroñe’ ty ila’e: Ho tana’o tsy hihomake i Masi’oy.
Wherefore he saith also in another [psalm], Thou wilt not suffer thy Holy One to see corruption.
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 served his own generation by the will of God, fell asleep, and was laid to his fathers, and saw corruption:
37 Fe tsy nimomoke i natroan’ Añahare amy havilasiy.
But he whom God raised again, saw no corruption.
38 Aa le mahafohina ry longo, te indatiy ro itaroñañe ty fisolohoañe amo tahiñeo,
Be it known to you therefore, men, brethren, that through this man is preached to you the forgiveness of sins;
39 le ie ro añahàñe o mpiatoo amy ze hene raha tsy nilefe’ i Hà’ i Mosèy hahàñe.
And by him all that believe are justified from all things, from which ye 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 upon 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, ye despisers, and wonder, and perish: for I work a work in your days, a work which ye will in no wise believe, though a man declare it to you.
42 Aa ie niakatse o Jiosio, le nihalalie’ ondatio te ho lañoneñe ami’ty Sabotse here’e i tsara zay.
And when the Jews had gone out of the synagogue, the Gentiles besought 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 congregation was broken up, many of the Jews and religious proselytes followed Paul and Barnabas; who speaking to them, persuaded 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.
And the next sabbath came almost the whole city 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 envy, and spoke against those things which were uttered by Paul, contradicting and blaspheming.
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)
Then Paul and Barnabas became bold, and said, It was necessary that the word of God should first be spoken to you: but seeing ye reject it, and judge yourselves unworthy of everlasting life, lo, we turn to the Gentiles. (aiōnios g166)
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 hath the Lord commanded us, [saying], I have set thee to be a light of the Gentiles, that thou shouldst be for salvation to the ends 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)
And when the Gentiles heard this, they were glad, and glorified the word of the Lord: and as many as were ordained to eternal life, believed. (aiōnios g166)
49 Le niboele nahatsitsike i taney ty tsara’ Iehovà.
And the word of the Lord was published 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 honorable women, and the chief men of the city, and raised persecution against Paul and Barnabas, and expelled them from 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.
And the disciples were filled with joy and with the Holy Spirit.
