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 having come down from Judea, were teaching the brothers, “If you are not circumcised after the custom of Moses, you are not able to 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.
there having been, therefore, not a little dissension and debate to Paul and Barnabas with them, they arranged for Paul and Barnabas, and certain others of them, to go up to the apostles and elders to Jerusalem about this question;
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.
they indeed, then, having been sent forward by the assembly, were passing through Phoenicia and Samaria, declaring the conversion of the nations, and they were causing 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 having come to Jerusalem, they were received by the assembly, and the apostles, and the elders; they also declared 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.
and there rose up certain of those of the sect of the Pharisees who believed, saying, “It is required to circumcise them, to command them also to keep the Law of Moses.”
6 Nivory hisafiry i entañe zay o Firàheñeo naho o beio,
And there were gathered together the apostles and the elders, 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 there having been much disputing, Peter having risen up said to them, “Men, brothers, you know that from former days God made choice among us, through my mouth, for the nations to hear 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 the heart-knowing God bore them testimony, having given to them the Holy Spirit, even as also to us,
9 Toe tsy nambaha’e aman-tika iereo kanao nefera’e am-patokisañe o arofo’ iareoo.
and also put no difference between 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 you tempt God, to put a yoke on 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 Christ, we believe to be saved, even as also they.”
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 silence and were listening to Barnabas and Paul expounding as many signs and wonders as God did among the nations through them;
13 Ie nigadoñe i fitaliliañey, le hoe ty natoi’ Iakobe: O roahalahio, ijanjiño,
and after they were silent, James answered, saying, “Men, brothers, listen to me:
14 Fa nitalilia’ i Simona i fitilihan’ Añahare valoha’ey, handrambesa’e ondaty amo kilakila ondatio ho amy tahina’ey,
Simeon expounded how at first God looked on [us] to take a people out of [the] nations for His Name,
15 mira amo nitsarae’ o mpitokio, amy pinatetseio ty hoe:
and to this the words of the Prophets agree, as it has been 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 dwelling place of David that has fallen down, And I will rebuild its ruins, And will set it upright—
17 soa te hipay Iehovà ondaty ila’eo toe ze kilakila ondaty tokaveñe ami’ty añarako,
That the remnant of men may seek after the LORD, And all the nations on whom My Name has been called, Says the LORD, who is doing all these things.
Known from the ages to God are all His works. (aiōn g165)
19 Aa le hoe ty safiriko, te tsy holañen-tikañe o mitolik’ aman’ Añahare boak’ amo kilakila ondatio,
For this reason I judge: not to trouble those who turn back to God from the nations,
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 defilements of the idols, and the whoredom, and the strangled thing, and the blood;
21 Amy te nitaroñeñe haehae amy ze kila rova t’i Mosè, ie vakieñe am-pitontonañ’ ao boa-tSabata.
for Moses has those preaching him from former generations in every city—being read every Sabbath in the synagogues.”
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 seemed good to the apostles and the elders, with the whole assembly, to send to Antioch with Paul and Barnabas chosen men out of themselves—Judas surnamed Barsabas, 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:
having written through their hand thus: “The apostles, and the elders, and the brothers, to those in Antioch, and Syria, and Cilicia, brothers, who [are] of the nations, greeting;
24 Ie jinanji’ay te boak’ama’ay atoy o tsy nitoroa’aio, nitsibore anahareo an-tsaontsy nañembetse,
seeing we have heard that some having gone forth from us troubled you with words, subverting your souls, saying to be circumcised and to keep the Law, to whom we gave no charge,
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 seemed good to us, having come together with one accord, to send to you chosen men, with our beloved Barnabas and Paul—
26 ondaty nihirimbeloñe ty amy tahina’ i Talè Iesoà Norizañey.
men who have given up 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 sent, therefore, Judas and Silas, and they are telling the same things by word.
28 amy te hoe nò’ i Arofo Masiñey naho zahay ty tsy hanovoña’ay kilankañe mandikoatse o fañè rezao:
For it seemed good to the Holy Spirit, and to us, to lay no more burden on you, except 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 offered to idols, and blood, and a strangled thing, and whoredom; keeping yourselves from which, you 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.
They then, indeed, having been let go, went to Antioch, and having brought the multitude together, delivered the letter,
31 Ie vinaki’ iereo le niehake ty amy fañosihañey.
and having read [it] they rejoiced for the consolation;
32 Aa kanao mpitoky t’i Joda naho i Silasy, le nañosike naho nañafatratse o roahalahio an-tsaontsy maro.
Judas also and Silas, also being prophets themselves, through much discourse exhorted the brothers, and confirmed,
33 Ie roñoñe añe, le nampañaveloe’ o rahalahio himpoly mb’amo nañitrik’ iareoo mb’eo.
and having passed some time, they were let go with peace from the brothers to the apostles;
[[and it seemed good to Silas to remain there still.]]
35 Fe nitambatse e Antiokia ao t’i Paoly naho i Barnabasy mindre ami’ty ila’e maro, nañoke naho nitaroñe ty tsara’ Iehovà.
And Paul and Barnabas continued in Antioch, teaching and proclaiming good news—with many others also—the word of the LORD;
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 certain days, Paul said to Barnabas, “Having turned back again, we may look after our brothers, in every city in which we have preached the word of the LORD—how they are.”
37 Sinafiri’ i Barnabasy ty hinday i Jaona (atao Marka) hitrao-dia,
And Barnabas resolved to take with [them] 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.
and Paul was not thinking it good to take him with them who withdrew from them from Pamphylia, and did not go 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,
there came, therefore, a sharp contention, so that they were parted from one another, and Barnabas having taken Mark, sailed to Cyprus,
40 le jinobo’ i Paoly t’i Silasy vaho nienga, ie fa nitatae’ o roahalahio ho ami’ty hasoa’ i Talè.
and Paul having chosen Silas, went forth, having been given up 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 went through Syria and Cilicia, confirming the assemblies.
