Asan'ny Apostoly 16
1 Nimb’e Derbe naho mb’e Listra añe t’i Paoly le nanjo ty mpiòke atao Timoty, ana’ ty rakemba Jiosy, mpiato; Grika ty rae’e.
And he came to Derbe and Lystra, and behold, a certain disciple was there, by name Timotheus, son of a certain woman, a believing Jewess, but of a father, a Greek,
2 Nitalili-soa aze o rahalahy e Listra naho Ikaoniomao.
who was well testified to by the brothers in Lystra and Iconium;
3 Niteà’ i Paoly ty hindreza’e lia, le rinambe’e vaho nisavare’e ty amo Jiosy nitobokeo, amy te songa nahafohiñe ty rae’e ondatio t’ie Grika.
Paul wished this one to go forth with him, and having taken [him], he circumcised him, because of the Jews who are in those places, for they all knew his father—that he was a Greek.
4 Ie niranga i rova rey le nitaroñe o fañè najado’ i Firàheñe naho i beim-pivory e Ierosaleme añe rey hambenañeo.
And as they were going on through the cities, they were delivering to them the decrees to keep, that have been judged by the apostles and the elders who [are] in Jerusalem,
5 Aa le niventèñe am-patokisañe o Fivorio vaho nitovoñe lomoñandro.
then, indeed, were the assemblies established in the faith, and were abounding in number every day;
6 Nañariary mb’e Frigià naho am-paripari’ i Galate iereo, amy te rinara’ i Arofo Masiñey tsy hitaroñe i tsaray an-tane’ Asia añe.
and having gone through Phrygia and the region of Galatia, having been forbidden by the Holy Spirit to speak the word in Asia,
7 Ie pok’ e Misià eo, le nipay higodañe mb’e Bitinia fe tsy napo’ i Arofo’ Iesoày.
having gone toward Mysia, they were trying to go on toward Bithynia, and the Spirit did not permit them,
8 Aa le rinio’ iereo ty Misià vaho nizotso mbe Troasy mb’eo.
and having passed by Mysia, they came down to Troas.
9 Nisodehañe amy Paoly haleñe añ’ aroñaroñe t’indaty nte Makedonia nijohañe eo nihalaly ama’e ty hoe: Mitsahà mb’e Makedonia mb’ etoa hañolots’ anay.
And a vision through the night appeared to Paul—a certain man of Macedonia was standing, calling on him, and saying, “Having passed through to Macedonia, help us.”
10 Ie niaroñaroña’ i Paoly, le nikotepe amy zao zahay hionjoñe mb’e Makedonia añe, fa napota’ay ty hatò t’ie kinanjin’ Añahare hitaroñe am’iereo i talili-soay.
And when he saw the vision, immediately we endeavored to go forth to Macedonia, assuredly gathering that the LORD has called us to preach good news to them,
11 Aa le nijon-dàkañe boak’ e Troasy naho nivantañe mb’e Samotrakia, vaho nimb’e Neapolia añe amy loak’ àndroy.
having set sail, therefore, from Troas, we came with a straight course to Samothracia, on the next day also to Neapolis,
12 Boak’ ao le nimb’e Filipy, ty rova-fiaolo amy fari’ i Makedoniay, fa aman-tobe ty ao. Nitobok’ amy rovay andro tsy ampeampe zahay.
there also to Philippi, which is a principal city of the part of Macedonia—a colony. And we were abiding in this city some days;
13 Ie ami’ty andro Sabotse, niavotse i rovay nimb’ añ’olon-tsaka mb’eo, fa inao toem-pitalahoañe ty ey, le nitoboke nifanaontsy amo rakemba nivorivorio.
on the day of the Sabbaths we also went forth outside of the city, by a river, where there used to be prayer, and having sat down, we were speaking to the women who came together,
14 Nahatsendreñe ty rakemba atao Lidiae, mpanao balike lamba malò-mavo an-drova atao Tiatira, mpitalaho aman’ Añahare; le sinoka’ i Talè ty arofo’e vaho hinao’e ty nitaroña’ i Paoly.
and a certain woman, by name Lydia, a seller of purple, of the city of Thyatira, worshiping God, was hearing, whose heart the LORD opened to attend to the things spoken by Paul;
15 Ie nalipotse naho o añ’anjomba’eo le nambarà’e ami’ty hoe: Naho atokisa’ areo ty fiatoako amy Talè, le mihovà an-trañoko vaho mañialoa ao. Le nazì’e zahay.
and when she was immersed, and her household, she called on us, saying, “If you have judged me to be faithful to the LORD, having entered into my house, remain”; and she constrained us.
16 Teo t’ie nimb’am-pitalahoam-beo ro nifanojeha ami’ty ampela amam-pañahy nahafitoky, ie nanontoñe vara maro amo talè’eo amy fizeke’ey.
And it came to pass in our going on to prayer, a certain maid, having a spirit of Python, met us, who brought much employment to her masters by soothsaying;
17 Norihe’e t’i Paoly naho zahay nitazataza ty hoe: Mpitoron’ Añahare Andindimoneñey ondati-retia, mpanoro antika i lalam-pandrombahañey.
she having followed Paul and us, was crying, saying, “These men are servants of the Most High God, who declare to us [the] way of salvation!”
18 Andro maro t’ie nitolom-panao izay. Aa ie niembetse t’i Paoly, nitolike le nanoe’e ty hoe amy angatsey: Lilieko amy tahina’ Iesoà Norizañey, Iakaro! Le nifaok’ ama’e amy oray avao.
And this she was doing for many days, but Paul having been grieved, and having turned, said to the spirit, “I command you, in the Name of Jesus Christ, to come forth from her”; and it came forth the same hour.
19 Aa ie nirendre’ o tompo’eo te nifaok’ am’iereo ka ty fitama’ iareo vara, le tsinepa’ iereo t’i Paoly naho i Silasy vaho kinovovò’ iereo mb’ an-tsena mb’ aolo’ ondaty beio mb’eo,
And her masters having seen that the hope of their employment was gone, having caught Paul and Silas, drew [them] into the marketplace, to the rulers,
20 le nasese añatrefa’ o bei’ i rovaio, naho nanoa’ iareo ty hoe: Mampirehoreho ty rova toy ondaty retiañe, fa Jiosy,
and having brought them to the magistrates, they said, “These men being Jews exceedingly trouble our city;
21 vaho mandrisike sata faly tsy mete rambesentika ndra hambenan-tika nte-Roma.
and they proclaim customs that are not lawful for us to receive nor to do, being Romans.”
22 Aa le nitrao-piongake hiatreatre am’ iareo i lahialeñey; naho nihaloe’ o beio am’iareo o saro’eo vaho linily t’ie ho fofohen-kobaiñe.
And the multitude rose up together against them, and the magistrates having torn their garments from them, were commanding to beat [them] with rods,
23 Aa ie kinabokabo’ iareo fofoke, le natafasiotse am-pandrohizañe ao vaho nafantok’ amy mpigarim-balabeiy te hambenañe soa.
having also laid on them many blows, they cast them into prison, having given charge to the jailor to keep them safely,
24 Kanao izay ty nandiliañe aze, le najo’e am-po’ ty efetse làlek’ ao iereo, vaho nazi’e an-dabarò o fandia’eo.
who having received such a charge, put them into the inner prison, and fastened their feet in the stocks.
25 Aa ie nimatokalembey, naho niloloke naho nisabo aman’ Añahare avao t’i Paoly naho i Silasy am-pijanjiña’ o mpirohio,
And at midnight Paul and Silas praying, were singing hymns to God, and the prisoners were hearing them,
26 le nivovoa’ ty ezeñezen-tane ra’elahy, nahafiozoñozoñe o faha’ i porozòio, songa sinoka’e o lalam-beio vaho sindre binala’e o silisilio.
and suddenly a great earthquake came, so that the foundations of the prison were shaken, also all the doors were immediately opened, and of all—the bands were loosed;
27 Tsekak’ amy firota’ey i mpigarim-balabeiy le naheo’e te nidañadaña o lalam-beim-balabeio vaho napontsoa’e ty fibara’e hamoy aiñe amy te natao’e te nibolatitse o rinohio.
and the jailor having come out of sleep, and having seen the doors of the prison open, having drawn a sword, was about to kill himself, supposing the prisoners to have fled,
28 Fe pinaza’ i Paoly ty hoe: Ko mijoy vatañe! Hene atoan-jahay!
and Paul cried out with a loud voice, saying, “You may not do yourself any harm, for we are all here!”
29 Aa le nitoka jiro i mpigaritsey naho nihitrike mb’eo nititititike vaho nihotrak’ am-pandia’ i Paoly naho i Silasy eo.
And having asked for a light, he sprang in, and he fell down before Paul and Silas trembling,
30 Nakare’e le nanoe’e ty hoe: O androanavio, ino ty hanoeko handrombahako fiaiñe?
and having brought them forth, said, “Lords, what must I do that I may be saved?”
31 Le hoe iereo: atokiso i Talè Iesoà, le ho rombaheñe—ihe naho o añ’anjomba’oo,
And they said, “Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and you will be saved—you and your household.”
32 le nitaroña’e ty tsara’ Iehovà vaho amo añ’ anjomba’e iabio.
And they spoke to him the word of the LORD, and to all those in his household;
33 Nindese’e amy ora’ i haleñeiy iereo nanasa o fereo, le nalipotse, ie naho o aze iabio;
and having taken them, in that hour of the night, he bathed [them] from the blows, and immediately he and all of his were immersed,
34 naho nampihovae’e añ’anjomba’e ao iereo naho nanjotsoa’e vaho nirebeke te niatoa’e t’i Andrianañahare, ie naho o keleia’e iabio.
having also brought them into his house, he set food before [them], and was glad with all the household, he having believed in God.
35 Ie nazava i àndroy, le nirahe’ o beio o lahindefoñeo ami’ty hoe: Avotsoro indaty rey.
And day having come, the magistrates sent the rod-bearers, saying, “Let those men go”;
36 Aa le natalili’ i mpigaritsey amy Paoly i entañey, ami’ty hoe: Fa nampañitrike ty hoe o beio t’ie ho hahàñe. Miavota arè, mañaveloa am-panintsiñañe.
and the jailor told these words to Paul, “The magistrates have sent, that you may be let go; now, therefore, having gone forth go on in peace”;
37 Fa hoe t’i Paoly am’iereo: Vinangovango’ iareo am-batraike tsy aman-jaka, zahay nte-Roma, vaho najo’ iareo am-balabey ao. Aa vaho haronjeñe mb’eo hao henaneo am-pianjiñañe? Aiy! Soa te ie ro homb’ etoa hañavotse anay.
and Paul said to them, “Having beaten us publicly uncondemned—men, being Romans—they cast [us] to prison, and now privately they cast us forth! Why no! But having come themselves, let them bring us forth.”
38 Ie natalili’ i mpigaritse rey amo beio i saontsiy, le nihembañe te nahajanjiñe t’ie nte-Roma.
And the rod-bearers told these sayings to the magistrates, and they were afraid, having heard that they are Romans,
39 Aa le nimb’ eo iereo nifelek’ am’ iareo, nanese vaho nihalaly t’ie hiavotse i rovay.
and having come, they implored them, and having brought [them] forth, they were asking [them] to go forth from the city;
40 Niakatse i porozòy iereo le nimb’ añ’ anjomba’ i Lidiae mb’ eo naho nahaoniñe o rahalahio naho nañohò iareo, vaho nienga.
and they, having gone forth out of the prison, entered into [the house of] Lydia, and having seen the brothers, they comforted them, and went forth.
