Asan'ny Apostoly 4
1 Ie mbe nisaontsy am’ondatio, le nivotrak’ am’iereo o mpisoroñeo naho ty beim-pigari’ i anjomban’ Añaharey naho o Tsadokeo,
While they were talking to the people, the priests, the captain of the Temple guard, and the Sadducees came up to them.
2 nitsimboetse te nañoke ondatio naho t’ie nitaroñe ty fivañonan-ko veloñe amy Iesoà.
They were angry that they were teaching the people, telling them that through Jesus there is resurrection from the dead.
3 Nipao-pitañe ama’e iereo le najoñe am-pandrohizañ’ ao ampara’ ty loak’ andro amy te nihaleñe.
They arrested them and placed them under guard until the following day since it was already evening.
4 Fe maro amo nahajanjiñe i tsaraio ty niantoke; va’e lime arivo ty ia’indaty rezay.
But many who had heard the message believed it, and the total number of believers grew to about five thousand.
5 Ie amy loak’ àndroy, nivory e Ierosaleme ao o mpifeleke naho roandriañe naho mpanoki-dili’ iareoo
The next day, the rulers, elders, and religious leaders met together in Jerusalem.
6 naho i Anasy talèm-pisoroñe naho i Kaiafa naho i Jaona naho i Aleksandro vaho ze hene longo’ i talèm-pisoroñey.
They included the high priest Annas, Caiaphas, John, Alexander, and others of the high priest's family.
7 Aa ie fa nadoke añivo eo, le hoe ty nañontaneañe: ami’ty lili’ ia ndra ami’ty tahina’ ia ty nanoe’ areo o raha zao?
They brought Peter and John before them and asked, “By what power or by whose authority have you done this?”
8 Lifotse i Arofo Masiñey t’i Petera nanao ty hoe: O ry mpifehe naho roandria’ ondatio:
Peter, filled with the Holy Spirit, answered them. “Rulers of the people, and elders:
9 Naho ty hasoa nanoe’ay amy lahilahy nideme’e nijanganeñey ty añotsohotsoa’ areo anay androany,
Are we being interrogated regarding a good deed done to a man who couldn't help himself, and how he came to be healed?
10 le hampahafohine’ay ama’areo naho amo nte Israele iabio te i tahina’ Iesoà nte Nazareta Norizañey, i naradorado’ areo fe natroan’ Añahare amy havilasiiy, ty ijohaña’ t’indaty jangañe toy añatrefa’areo etoa,
If so, all of you should know, and all the people of Israel, that it was in the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, the one you killed on a cross and whom God raised from the dead—it's because of him that this man stands before you completely healed.
11 Ie i vato nadò’ areo mpandrafitsey, naho fa vato-lahi’e henaneo.
‘He is the stone you builders rejected, but he has been made the chief cornerstone.’
12 Le tsy aman’ iaia ila’e ty fandrombahañe, amy te tsy nitolorañe tahinañe ila’e ambane’ i likerañey ondatio, ze maharombak’ antika.
There is no salvation in anyone else; there is no other name under heaven given to humanity that can possibly save us.”
13 Ie nahaisake ty fahasibeha’ i Petera naho i Jaona, naho nahaoniñe te ondaty tsy nianatse naho tsy nioke, le nilatsa vaho nahatiahy t’ie mpiam’ Iesoà.
When they saw Peter and John's confidence, and realized they were uneducated, ordinary men, they were very surprised. They also recognized them as Jesus' companions.
14 Aa kanao niisake te nindre nijohañe am’iereo i lahilahy nijanganeñey, le tsy nahatìñe aze iereo,
Since they could see the man who had been healed standing right there with them, they had nothing to say in response to what had happened.
15 f’ie nanitak’iareo mb’alafem-pivory ao vaho nisafiry
So they instructed them to wait outside the council while they discussed the matter among themselves.
16 ty hoe: Hataon-tika akore i lahilahy rey? Ie midodea amo hene mpimoneñe e Ierosalemeo t’ie ro nanoañe raha tsitantane, tsy lefe-tika liereñe.
“What should we do with these men?” they asked. “We can't deny a significant miracle has happened through them. Everybody living here in Jerusalem knows about it.
17 Aa, tsy mone ho losotse ty fiboelea’e am’ondatio, antao hañatahata iareo tsy hivolañe i añarañey ama’ ondaty ndra iaia.
But to prevent it spreading among the people any further, we should threaten them never to speak to anybody in this name again.”
18 Le nikanjiañe vaho nililieñe t’ie tsy hivolañe naho tsy hañoke ami’ty tahina’ Iesoà ka.
So they called them back in and ordered them never to speak or teach in the name of Jesus again.
19 Fe hoe ty natoi’ i Petera naho i Jaona: Tsakoreo hera ho to am-pivazohoan’ Añahare, t’ie hañaoñe anahareo ambone’ i Andrianañahare?
But Peter and John responded, “Whether it's right in God's eyes to obey you rather than God—you decide.
20 Amy te tsi-mahay tsy taroñe’ay o raha niisa’ay naho jinanji’aio.
We can't help talking about what we've seen and heard!”
21 Aa ie nendahañe indraike, le navotsotse, fa tsy eo ty handafàñe iareo ty am’ondatio, ie hene nandrenge an’ Andrianañahare ty amy nitafatendrekey.
After making more threats they let them go. They couldn't work out how to punish them because everyone was glorifying God for what had happened.
22 Nilosotse ty efa-polo taoñe i lahilahy nampiboahañe i vilom-pijangañañeiy.
For the man who received this miracle of healing was more than forty years old.
23 Ie nihaha le nimb’amo mpiama’ iareoo mb’eo nitalily i nisaontsia’ o mpisorom-beioy naho o roandriañeo.
After the disciples had been released, they went to the other believers and told them everything the chief priests and elders had said to them.
24 Ie nahajanjiñe, le nipoña-peo aman’ Añahare nanao kapindre ty hoe: Ry Iehovà, Ihe ro Andrianamboatse i likerañey naho ty tane toy naho i riakey vaho ze he’e am’iereo ao,
When they heard what had happened, they prayed to God together: “Lord, you made heaven and earth and sea, and everything that is in them.
25 le nanoe’o am-palie’ i Davide mpitoro’oy, ty hoe: Ino ty mampidabadoa o kilakila ‘ndatio naho ty ikaboha’ondatio raha kafoake?
You spoke by the Holy Spirit through David, our forefather and your servant, saying ‘Why did the people of the other nations become so angry? Why did they plot so foolishly against me?
26 Miongake o mpanjaka’ ty tane toio, vaho mifanontoñe o mpifelekeo hiatreke Iehovà naho i Noriza’ey.’
The kings of the earth prepared for war the rulers united together against the Lord and against his Chosen One.’
27 Toe ami’ty rova toy ty nifanontona’ i Heroda naho i Pontio Pilato naho o kilakila ondatio mindre amo nte Israeleo, hañatreatre i Mpitoro’o masiñey, Iesoà Noriza’oy.
Now this has really happened right here in this city! Both Herod and Pontius Pilate, together with the foreigners and the people of Israel, united together against your holy servant Jesus, whom you anointed as Messiah.
28 Nanoe’ iereo iaby ze sinafirim-pità’o naho nisatrien’ arofo’o taolo hanoeñe.
They did whatever you had already decided because you had the power and the will to do it.
29 Aa ie henane zao, ry Iehovà, vazohò o hatahata’ iareoo, le toloro fahasibehañe o mpitoro’oo hahafitaroña’ iareo o tsara’oo,
Now Lord: look at all their threats against us! Help us your servants to speak your word really boldly.
30 ie añitia’o fitàñe hampijangañe; vaho anoeñe an-tahina’ Iesoà mpitoro’o masiñey ty viloñe naho raha tsi-tantane.
As you exercise your power to heal, may signs and miracles be done through the name of your holy servant Jesus!”
31 Ie niloloke iereo, le niezeñezeñe i toetse nivoria’ iereoy; le fonga nilifotse i Arofo Masiñey vaho nahasibeke nisaontsy ty tsaran’ Añahare.
When they had finished praying, the building they were meeting in was shaken. All of them were filled with the Holy Spirit, and spoke the word of God boldly.
32 Songa nitraok’ arofo naho havelo i valobohòm-piantokey, le tsy eo ty nanao te aze o vara’eo fa kila nitraofañe.
All the believers thought and felt the same way. None of them claimed anything they had as their own, but shared everything with each other.
33 Tan-kafatraram-bey ty nitalilia’ o Firàheñeo i fivañonam-belo’ Iesoà Talèy, vaho am’ iereo iaby ty hasoa mitoabotse.
The apostles gave their testimony regarding the resurrection of the Lord Jesus with tremendous power, and God greatly blessed them all.
34 Tsy amam-pisotry iereo, fa ze aman-tane ndra anjomba ro nandeta naho ninday ty vili’ i naletakey,
None of them needed anything because those who had lands or properties sold them.
35 le nibanabana’e am-pandia’ o Firàheñeo vaho hene nitsahareñe am’ondatio songa ty amy paiañey.
They took the proceeds and presented them to the apostles to be shared with those in need.
36 Teo t’i Josefe, nte-Levy boake Kiprosy, i natao’ o Firàheñeo Barnabasiy, (ze midika: Anam-pañohòañe).
Joseph, the one the apostles called Barnabas (meaning “son of encouragement”), was a Levite, a Cypriot national.
37 Nanan-tane re, le naleta’e naho nendese’e i volay vaho nazotso’e am-pandia’ o Firàheñeo.
He sold a field that belonged to him. Then he brought the money and presented it to the apostles.
