Asan'ny Apostoly 15
1 Teo ty nizotso boak’ Iehodà añe nañoke ty hoe amo roahalahio: Ze tsy savareñe amy sata’ i Mosèy, le tsy ho rombaheñe.
And certain men, who came down from Judea, taught the brothers, Unless ye will be circumcised in the custom of Moses, ye cannot be saved.
2 Tsy naivañe ty fifandierañe naho fifanointoiña’ i Paoly naho i Barnabasy ama’e le sinafiri’ iereo ty hañitrike i Paoly naho i Barnabasy naho ty ila’e mb’e Ierosaleme mb’amo Firàheñe naho bey añeo ty amy ontane zay.
Therefore, no small dissension and debate having developed with Paul and Barnabas against them, they appointed Paul and Barnabas, and some other men from them, to go up to Jerusalem to the apostles and elders in Jerusalem about this issue.
3 Ie nampionjone’ i Fivoriy amy lalañey, le niranga i Foinika naho i Samaria, nitalily ty fisolohoa’ o kilakila ondatio vaho nahaehake o roahalahy iabio.
Indeed therefore, having been helped for the trip by the congregation, they passed through Phoenicia and Samaria, describing the conversion of the Gentiles. And they caused great joy to all the brothers.
4 Ie nandoake e Ierosaleme ao, le rinambe i Fivoriy naho o Firàheñeo naho o beio, vaho nitalilieñe ze he’e nanoen’ Añahare añam’ iereo.
And after arriving in Jerusalem, they were received by the church and the apostles and the elders. And they reported as many things as God did with them.
5 Fe niongake ty mpiato ila’e amo Fariseo, nanao ty hoe: Tsy mete tsy ampisavareñe ondatio vaho lilieñe hañorike ty Hà’ i Mosè.
But some of the men who believed from the sect of the Pharisees rose up, saying, It is necessary to circumcise them, and to command them to keep the law of Moses.
6 Nivory hisafiry i entañe zay o Firàheñeo naho o beio,
And the apostles and the elders were assembled together to see about this matter.
7 f’ie nifandietse avao, aa le niongake t’i Petera nanao ty hoe: O Roahalahio, fohi’ areo te nitoroan’ Añahare hatrela’e te ho janjiñe’ o kilakila ondatio am-bavako ty enta’ i talili-soay vaho hiantoke.
And when much debate occurred, Peter having risen up, he said to them, Men, brothers, ye know that from past days among us, God chose the Gentiles to hear through my mouth the word of the good news, and to believe.
8 Aa le nitaroñe am’ iereo t’i Andrianañahare Mpaharofoanañ’ arofo, le nitolora’e i Arofo Masiñey manahake ty nanoe’e aman-tikañe.
And God, who knows the heart, testified to them, having given them the Holy Spirit, just as also to us.
9 Toe tsy nambaha’e aman-tika iereo kanao nefera’e am-patokisañe o arofo’ iareoo.
And he made not one distinction between both us and them, having purified their hearts by faith.
10 Aa vaho akore ty itsoha’ areo an’Andrianañahare, hampitongoà’ areo joka am-pititia’ o mpiòkeo, ie tsy nileon-tika ndra o roaen-tikañeo?
Now therefore why do ye challenge God, to place a yoke upon the neck of the disciples, which neither our fathers nor we were able to bear?
11 Aiy! Atokisan-tika te i hasoa’ Iesoà Talèn-tikañey ro maha voarombak’ antika, le hambañe amy zay iereo.
But through the grace of the Lord Jesus, we believe to be saved, in the same way as those men also.
12 Fonga nianjiñe i màroy, nijanjiñe ty nitalilie’ i Barnabasy naho i Paoly o viloñe naho halatsàñe nanoen’ Añahare añivo’ o kilakila ‘ndatio añam’ iereoo.
And all the multitude kept silent, and they heard Barnabas and Paul describing how many signs and wonders God did among the Gentiles through them.
13 Ie nigadoñe i fitaliliañey, le hoe ty natoi’ Iakobe: O roahalahio, ijanjiño,
And after they were quiet, James answered, saying, Men, brothers, hear me.
14 Fa nitalilia’ i Simona i fitilihan’ Añahare valoha’ey, handrambesa’e ondaty amo kilakila ondatio ho amy tahina’ey,
Simeon described how God first came to help, to take from the Gentiles a people for his name.
15 mira amo nitsarae’ o mpitokio, amy pinatetseio ty hoe:
And to this the words of the prophets agree, as it is written,
16 Ie añe, le hibalike raho naho hamboareko indraike i kivoho’ i Davide nirotsakey; ho tsenèko indraike i nikoromakey, vaho hatroako,
After these things I will return, and I will rebuild the tabernacle of David that has fallen. And I will rebuild the things of it that have been demolished, and I will restore it,
17 soa te hipay Iehovà ondaty ila’eo toe ze kilakila ondaty tokaveñe ami’ty añarako,
so that the rest of men might seek the Lord, and all the Gentiles upon whom my name is called upon them, says the Lord, who does these things.
Known to God from the age are all his works. (aiōn g165)
19 Aa le hoe ty safiriko, te tsy holañen-tikañe o mitolik’ aman’ Añahare boak’ amo kilakila ondatio,
Therefore I judge not to trouble those from the Gentiles who are turning to God,
20 fe anokiran-tika taratasy, hifoneña’ iareo ze raha nitivae’ o hazomangao naho ty hakarapiloañe naho ty henam-biby nidageañeñe vaho ty lio.
but to write to them, to abstain from the pollutions of idols, and from fornication, and from what is strangled, and from blood.
21 Amy te nitaroñeñe haehae amy ze kila rova t’i Mosè, ie vakieñe am-pitontonañ’ ao boa-tSabata.
For Moses from generations past, has from city to city those who preach him, being read in the synagogues on every sabbath.
22 Aa le nisatrie’ o Firàheñeo naho o beio naho i fivory iabiy ty hijoboñe ondaty am’iereo ao, hihitrike mb’e Antiokia añe mindre amy Paoly naho i Barnabasy. Le jinoboñe t’i Joda (atao Barsabasy) naho i Silasy, ondaty mpiaolo amo rahalahio.
Then it was decided by the apostles and the elders, with the whole assembly, to send men chosen from them to Antioch with Paul and Barnabas, namely, Judas called Barsabbas, and Silas, leading men among the brothers,
23 Aa le nisokireñe ty hoe am-pita’iareo: Ry Firàheñeo naho o roahalahy beim-pivorio, Ho amo rahalahy boak’ amo kilakila’ ndatio e Antiokia naho e Sirià vaho e Kilkia añeo: Talilio’ areo:
after writing by their hand these things: The apostles, and the elders, and the brothers, to those down in Antioch and Syria and Cilicia, to the brothers of the Gentiles, greeting.
24 Ie jinanji’ay te boak’ama’ay atoy o tsy nitoroa’aio, nitsibore anahareo an-tsaontsy nañembetse,
Since we have heard that certain men who went out from us have troubled you with words, disturbing your souls, saying to be circumcised, and to keep the law, to whom we did not command,
25 le natao’ay t’ie nivory am-pitraofan-drehake, te hahasoa ty hijoboñe ondaty tsy ampeampe hampombañe mb’ ama’ areo mb’eo mindre aman-drañe’ay sarotse, i Barnabasy naho i Paoly—
it was decided by us, having become unanimous, to send chosen men to you with our beloved Barnabas and Paul,
26 ondaty nihirimbeloñe ty amy tahina’ i Talè Iesoà Norizañey.
men who have given over their lives for the name of our Lord Jesus Christ.
27 Aa le nampihitrife’ay t’i Joda naho i Silasy hamente o entañe zao am-palie
We have therefore sent Judas and Silas, themselves also declaring the same things by speech.
28 amy te hoe nò’ i Arofo Masiñey naho zahay ty tsy hanovoña’ay kilankañe mandikoatse o fañè rezao:
For it was decided by the Holy Spirit, and by us, to lay upon you not one greater burden than these necessary things:
29 Falio ze raha nisoroñañe an-kazomanga naho ty lio naho ze dinageañe vaho ty hakarapiloañe. Mahasoa anahareo te ifoneñañe. Manintsiña.
to abstain from things sacrificed to idols, and from blood, and from things strangled, and from fornication, keeping yourselves from which, ye will do well. Be strong.
30 Aa le nampionjoneñe mb’eo iereo naho nivotrake e Antiokia le natonto’ iereo i Fivoriy vaho natolotse i taratasiy.
Indeed therefore after being dismissed, they came to Antioch, and having gathered the multitude together, they delivered the letter.
31 Ie vinaki’ iereo le niehake ty amy fañosihañey.
And after reading it, they rejoiced for the encouragement.
32 Aa kanao mpitoky t’i Joda naho i Silasy, le nañosike naho nañafatratse o roahalahio an-tsaontsy maro.
And Judas and Silas, being themselves also prophets, exhorted the brothers by much speech, and strengthened them.
33 Ie roñoñe añe, le nampañaveloe’ o rahalahio himpoly mb’amo nañitrik’ iareoo mb’eo.
And after spending some time, they were dismissed with peace from the brothers to the apostles.
[This verse is not in the majority of the Greek manuscripts.]
35 Fe nitambatse e Antiokia ao t’i Paoly naho i Barnabasy mindre ami’ty ila’e maro, nañoke naho nitaroñe ty tsara’ Iehovà.
But Paul and Barnabas continued in Antioch, teaching and preaching good news, the word of the Lord, with many others also.
36 Ie nahamodo andro tsiampeampe, le hoe t’i Paoly amy Barnabasy: Antao hibalike naho hitilike o roahalahin-tika amy rova iaby nitaroñan-tika o tsara’ i Talèo reio, hañontane iareo.
And after some days Paul said to Barnabas, After returning, surely we could help our brothers in every city in which we proclaimed the word of the Lord, how they fare.
37 Sinafiri’ i Barnabasy ty hinday i Jaona (atao Marka) hitrao-dia,
And Barnabas wanted to take along John called Mark.
38 fe nifahara’ i Paoly te tsy hahasoa te hindeseñe ie nivik’ am’iareo e Pamfilià añe naho tsy nindre am-pitoroñe.
But Paul thought it not worthy to bring along this man who withdrew from them from Pamphylia, and not having gone with them to the work.
39 Aa le akore ty fifanjomora’ iareo kanao nifampipitsoke. Nendese’ i Barnabasy t’i Marka nijon-dakañe mb’e Kiprosy añe,
Therefore a provocation developed, so as for them to separate from each other, and Barnabas to sail for Cyprus, after taking Mark,
40 le jinobo’ i Paoly t’i Silasy vaho nienga, ie fa nitatae’ o roahalahio ho ami’ty hasoa’ i Talè.
but Paul, having selected Silas, went forth after being delivered to the grace of God by the brothers.
41 Le niranga mb’e Sirià naho e Kilkia mb’eo re nañafatratse o Fivorio.
And he passed through Syria and Cilicia, encouraging the congregations.
