Asan'ny Apostoly 21
1 Ie nifamitsok’ am’iereo, le nijon-dakañe naho niranga mb’e Kosy naho mb’e Rodo amy loak’ àndroy, boak’ao le nimb’e Patara añe,
And it came to pass that, after we had separated from them, we put to sea, and came by a straight course to Cos, and on the following day, to Rhodes, and thence to Patara.
2 naho nahtendreke lakañe hitsake mb’e Foenika mb’eo zahay le nijoñe vaho nionjoñe an-day.
And finding a ship that was going to Phenicia, we embarked, and put to sea.
3 Ie nahatalake i Kiprosy le nenga’ay am-pitàn-kavia, le nionjoñe mb’e Sirià vaho toly e Tirò eo, hanjotsoa’ i lakañey i kilanka’e.
And we came in view of Cyprus; and, leaving it to the left, we sailed to Syria, and landed at Tyre: for there the ship was to put off her lading.
4 Nitsoehe’ay o mpiòkeo, le nañialo am’iereo ao fito andro, ie nitolom-panohiñe i Paoly añamy Arofoy ty tsy hionjoñe mb’e Ierosaleme añe.
And we remained there seven days, after finding the disciples. These urged Paul, by the Spirit, not to go up to Jerusalem.
5 Aa ie niheneke o andro’aio, le nionjoñe vaho nanonjohy i lia’aiy. Nanese anay ze hene mpiama’e reke-baly naho anake ampara’ te nienga i rovay naho nitongalek’ añ’ olon-driake eo niloloke.
And when these days were completed, we went forth, and continued our journey, they all, with their wives and children, conducting us out of the city: and we kneeled down on the shore, and prayed.
6 Ie nifanolo-pañanintsiñe, le nijon-dakañe, vaho nimpoly iereo.
And when we had bid each other farewell, we embarked, and they returned home.
7 Ie nihenefa’ay i lia boak’e Tiròy le avy e Tolemaia, naho nifañontane amo mpiama’eo vaho niambahiny am’iereo andro raike.
And completing the voyage from Tyre, we arrived at Ptolemais: and having saluted the brethren, we remained with them one day.
8 Nionjoñe amy maraiñey zahay le nandoake e Kaisaria naho nizilik’ añ’anjomba’ i Filipo Mpitaroñe, mpiamy fito rey, vaho nañialo ama’e.
On the following day we departed, and came to Cæsarea, and went into the house of Philip the evangelist, who was one of the seven; and we remained with him.
9 Efatse ty anak’ ampela’e somondrara, songa mpitoky.
This man had four virgin daughters, who had the gift of prophesy.
10 Ie nandrare tobok’ andro maro ao, le nizotso hirik’e Iehodà añe ty mpitoky atao Agabo,
And as we remained there many days, there came down, from Judea, a certain prophet, named Agabus;
11 niheo mb’ama’ay mb’eo, nandrambe ty fiètse’ i Paoly le nandrohy o fità’eo naho o fandia’eo vaho nanao ty hoe: Hoe ty tsara’ i Arofo Masiñey: Hambañe amy zao ty handrohiza’ o Jiosy e Ierosalemeo ty tompo’ ty fiètse toy, haneseañ’ aze am-pità’ o kilakila ondatio.
and he came to us, and taking Paul’s girdle, he bound his own hands and feet, and said: Thus says the Holy Spirit; the Jews that are in Jerusalem will so bind the man to whom this girdle belongs; and they will deliver him into the hands of the Gentiles.
12 Ie jinanji’ay, le nihalaly amy Paoly, zahay naho ondati’ i toetseio, ty tsy hionjoñe mb’e Ierosaleme añe.
And when we heard these things, we, and those of that place also, besought him not to go up to Jerusalem.
13 Aa hoe ty natoi’ i Paoly: Inoñ’ o iroveta’ areo hampikoretse ty trokoo? Tsy t’ie ho vahoreñe avao, fa toe veka’e hikenkañe e Ierosaleme ao ty amy tahina’ Iesoà Talèy.
But Paul answered: What do you effect by weeping, and breaking my heart? For I am ready, not only to be bound, but also to suffer death in Jerusalem, for the name of the Lord Jesus.
14 Kanao tsy lefe nampiantofan-dre, le nado’ay ami’ty hoe: Ty satri’ i Talè ro hanoeñe.
And as he would not be persuaded, we kept silence, and said: The will of the Lord be done.
15 Añe i andro rezay, le nañalankañe zahay vaho nionjomb’e Ierosaleme mb’ eo.
And after these days we prepared for our journey, and went up to Jerusalem.
16 Nindre ama’ay ty ila’ o mpiòke e Kaisariao, le nendese’ iereo mb’amy nte-Kiprosy atao Menasona, mpiòke hatrela’e, hañialoa’ay ama’e.
There went with us also some of the disciples from Cæsarea, who took with them, Mnason of Cyprus, an old disciple, with whom we should lodge.
17 Ie nandoake e Ierosaleme ao, le rinambe’ o roahalahio antalatala-saba,
And when we came to Jerusalem, the brethren received us gladly.
18 amy loakandroy le niheo mb’ am’ Iakobe t’i Paoly naho zahay, vaho tao iaby o beio.
And, on the following day, Paul went in with us to James, and all the elders were present.
19 Nifañontane am’ iereo re vaho hene natalili’e kiraikiraike o raha nanoen’ Añahare añivo’ o kilakila ‘ndatio amy fitoroña’eio.
And when he had saluted them, he related, in every particular, the things which. God had done among the Gentiles by his ministry.
20 Ie jinanji’ iereo, le nandrenge an’Andrianañahare vaho nanoa’ iareo ty hoe: O rahalahio, henteo te añ’aleale o Jiosy mpiatoo, songa mahimbañe an-Kake.
And when they heard it, they glorified the Lord, and said to him: You see, brother, how many myriads of the Jews there are that believe, and they are all zealous for the law.
21 Toe nampandrendreheñe am’iereo te ihe mañòke ze fonga Jiosy añivo’ o kilakila’ ndatio ty hamorintseñe i Mosè, naho manoro te tsy ho savareñe ty ana’ iareo vaho tsy horiheñe o lilitseo.
And they have heard it reported of you, that you teach all the Jews that are among the Gentiles to apostatize from Moses; commanding them not to circumcise their children, nor to walk according to the customs.
22 Inoñ’ arè ty hatao? amy te tsi-mete tsy ho janjiñe t’ie pok’eo,
What, then, is to be done? A multitude must certainly come together; for they will hear that you have come.
23 aa le anò ze hatoro’ay azo: Ama’ay atoañe t’indaty efatse fehè’ ty fanta.
Do, therefore, this which we advise you. We have four men who have a vow on them.
24 Endeso i lahilahy rey le itraofo fañeferam-batañe le avaho ty fañè’ iareo amy fiharatañe añamboney; vaho hene hahafohiñe te tsy amam-bente’e i nampahafohineñe azo iareo, f’ie toe mañavelo an-kavantañañe vaho mifahatse’ amy Hàke.
Take them, and join with them in their vow of abstinence, and pay their expenses, in order that they may shave their heads; and all will know that the things which they have heard reported of you are nothing; but that you yourself also walk orderly, and keep the law.
25 Aa naho o kilakila ondaty mpiatoo, fa nisokira’ay ty safiri’ay te hifoneña’ iareo ze nisoroñañe an-kazomanga, naho ty lio, naho ze nidageañeñe, vaho ze hakarapiloañe.
But with respect to the Gentiles that believe, we have written; having decided that they should observe no such thing; but that they keep themselves from things sacrificed to idols, and from blood, and from what is strangled, and from lewdness.
26 Aa le rinambe’ i Paoly indaty rey, ie maraindray le nindre niefetse vaho nizilik’ añ’anjomban’ Añahare ao nitaroñe te heneke o androm-piefera’ iareoo ampara’ te songa añengàñe soroñe.
Then Paul took the men, and, on the following day, joining in their vow of abstinence, he entered the temple, and gave notice when the days of abstinence would be completed, at which time an offering should be made for each of them.
27 Aa ie ho nigadoñe i fito àndro rey, le natrabi’ o Jiosy nte-Asia nahaisake iareo añ’anjomban’ Añahareo i màroy, hitsepak’ aze,
And when the seven days were about to be completed, the Jews from Asia, seeing him in the temple, threw all the multitude into confusion, and laid their hands on him,
28 ami’ty koike ty hoe: Ry ‘ndaty nte Israeleo, oloro! Intoy t’indaty mañòke sikal’ aia sikal’ aia ty handietse ondatin-tikañeo naho i Hake vaho ty toetse toy, mbore nampizilihe’e amy anjombay o nte-Grikao le naniva ty toetse-miavake toy.
crying out: Men of Israel, help! this is the man who teaches all men every where against this people, and the law, and this place: and besides, he has even brought Greeks into the temple, and defiled this holy place.
29 (Ie niisa’ iereo an-drova ao nindre amy Trofimo nte Efesosy, naho sinafiri’ iereo te nendese’ i Paoly añ’anjomban’ Añahare ao.)
For, before this time, they had seen Trophimus, the Ephesian, with him in the city, whom they supposed Paul had brought into the temple.
30 Le nivalitsikotake iaby i rovay, naho niropake mb’eo ondatio nitsepak’ i Paoly naho kinororò’ iereo mb’alafe’ i anjomban’ Añaharey vaho vinarindriñe o lalam-beio.
And the whole city was moved; and the people ran together, and, seizing Paul, they dragged him out of the temple, and the gates were immediately closed.
31 Ie nimanea’ iareo havetrake le nahatakatse i talèm-pirai-lian-dahin-defoñey, te nifandrakaraka iaby t’Ierosaleme;
And while they were seeking to kill him, report was brought to the officer of the band, that the whole of Jerusalem was in an uproar.
32 aa le ninday lahindefoñe miharo mpifele-jato amy zao re nitsondemboke te nizotso, nisorogoda mb’am’iareo ao. Ie zoe’ i màroy i talè mandroron-dahin-defon-katsaorañe, le napo’ iareo ty fikobokobohañ’ i Paoly.
And he immediately took soldiers and centurions, and ran down to them. When they saw the officer and the soldiers, they ceased beating Paul.
33 Loneake eo i talèy nigore aze, le linili’e t’ie ho vahorañe an-tsilisily roe, vaho hinerehere’e te ia, naho ze nanoe’e.
Then the officer came near and took him, and commanded him to be bound with two chains, and demanded who he was, and what he had done.
34 Le hirik’ amy màroy ty nitazataza izay, naho ty nikontsiañ’ izao; aa kanao tsy haharendreke ty to amy fitabohazakey, le nampanase’e mb’ añ’ akibam-piosoñañ’ ao.
And some in the multitude cried out one thing, and some another. But not being able to obtain any certain knowledge on account of the tumult, he commanded him to be led into the fortress.
35 Ie pok’ am-panongañe eo, le nonjone’ o lahin-defoñeo an-tsoroke re ty amy haandoviaha’ i lahialeñeiy,
And when he was on the steps, it happened that he was carried by the soldiers, on account of the violence of the multitude.
36 amy t’ie norihe’ i màroy nikoiake ty hoe: Aseseo!
For the greater part of the people followed, crying out: Away with him!
37 Ie ho nazili’ o lahin-defoñeo añ’ anjomba ao t’i Paoly le hoe re amy talèy: Te hivolañe ama’o iraho? Aa hoe re: Mahay Grika v’iheo?
But as Paul was about to be led into the fortress, he said to the officer: May I speak to you? He replied: Do you understand Greek?
38 Tsy ihe hao i nte-Egipte nañoràke fakomale-bey, ninday ‘ndaty mpamono efats’ arivo mb’ an-dratraratra añey?
Are you not that Egyptian, who, before these days, made an insurrection, and led out into the wilderness four thousand men of the Assassins?
39 Hoe t’i Paoly: Jiosy iraho, nte Tarsosy e Kilkia añe, tan-drova tsy atao tsotra. Ehe, apoho hitaroñe am’ ondatio.
But Paul replied: I am a Jew of Tarsus of Cilicia, a citizen of no unknown city; and I beseech you, permit me to speak to the people.
40 Nimea’e lily, le nijohañe amy fanongañey t’i Paoly nanondrotondro am’ondatio am-pitàñe, le nianjiñe do’e iereo vaho nilañona’e an-tsaontsy Hebreo ty hoe,
And when he had given him permission, Paul, standing upon the steps, waved his hand to the people. And when there was great silence, he addressed them in the Hebrew language, saying:
