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,
And while they were speaking to the people, the priests, the captain of the temple guard, and the Sadducees, came upon them;
2 nitsimboetse te nañoke ondatio naho t’ie nitaroñe ty fivañonan-ko veloñe amy Iesoà.
being grieved that they taught the people, and announced, through Jesus, the resurrection from the dead.
3 Nipao-pitañe ama’e iereo le najoñe am-pandrohizañ’ ao ampara’ ty loak’ andro amy te nihaleñe.
And they laid hands on them, and committed them into custody to the next day; for it was now evening.
4 Fe maro amo nahajanjiñe i tsaraio ty niantoke; va’e lime arivo ty ia’indaty rezay.
But many of those who had heard the word, believed: and the number of the men was about five thousand.
5 Ie amy loak’ àndroy, nivory e Ierosaleme ao o mpifeleke naho roandriañe naho mpanoki-dili’ iareoo
And the next day their rulers, elders, and scribes, gathered together at Jerusalem:
6 naho i Anasy talèm-pisoroñe naho i Kaiafa naho i Jaona naho i Aleksandro vaho ze hene longo’ i talèm-pisoroñey.
both Annas, the high priest, and Caiaphas; also John, and Alexander, and as many as were of the high priest's kindred.
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?
And having set them in the midst, they inquired, By what power, or in what name, have you done this?
8 Lifotse i Arofo Masiñey t’i Petera nanao ty hoe: O ry mpifehe naho roandria’ ondatio:
Then Peter, full of the Holy Spirit, said to them, Rulers of the people, and elders of Israel;
9 Naho ty hasoa nanoe’ay amy lahilahy nideme’e nijanganeñey ty añotsohotsoa’ areo anay androany,
if we are this day examined about the benefit conferred on the impotent man, by what means he is 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,
be it known to you all, and to all the people of Israel, that through the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, whom you crucified, whom God has raised from the dead: yes, by HIM this man stands before you hale.
11 Ie i vato nadò’ areo mpandrafitsey, naho fa vato-lahi’e henaneo.
This is the stone which was set at nought by you builders, that is become the head of the corner:
12 Le tsy aman’ iaia ila’e ty fandrombahañe, amy te tsy nitolorañe tahinañe ila’e ambane’ i likerañey ondatio, ze maharombak’ antika.
and there is salvation in no other; for there is no other name under heaven given among men, by which we can be saved.
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.
Now, when they saw the boldness of Peter and John, and understood that they were illiterate men, and in private stations in life, they were astonished, and recollected their having been with Jesus.
14 Aa kanao niisake te nindre nijohañe am’iereo i lahilahy nijanganeñey, le tsy nahatìñe aze iereo,
And seeing the man that was cured standing with them, they had nothing to say against it.
15 f’ie nanitak’iareo mb’alafem-pivory ao vaho nisafiry
But having ordered them to withdraw out of the council, they conferred 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.
saying, What shall we do with these men? for that indeed a signal miracle has been wrought by them, is manifest to all the inhabitants of Jerusalem; and we can not deny it.
17 Aa, tsy mone ho losotse ty fiboelea’e am’ondatio, antao hañatahata iareo tsy hivolañe i añarañey ama’ ondaty ndra iaia.
Nevertheless, that it may not spread any further among the people, let us charge them, with the severest threats, to speak no more to any man in this name.
18 Le nikanjiañe vaho nililieñe t’ie tsy hivolañe naho tsy hañoke ami’ty tahina’ Iesoà ka.
And having called them, they charged them neither to speak nor teach any more in the name of Jesus.
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, answering them, said, Whether it be just in the sight of God, to obey you rather than God, judge you:
20 Amy te tsi-mahay tsy taroñe’ay o raha niisa’ay naho jinanji’aio.
for we can not but speak the things which we have 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.
And having threatened them again, they dismissed them, on account of the people, finding nothing for which they might punish them; because all the people glorified God for that which was done;
22 Nilosotse ty efa-polo taoñe i lahilahy nampiboahañe i vilom-pijangañañeiy.
for the man on whom this miracle of healing was wrought, 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.
And being dismissed, they came to their own company, and related all that 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,
And when they heard it, they lifted up their voice with one accord to God, and said, Lord, thou art the God who didst make heaven and earth; and the sea, and all things that are 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?
who didst say by the mouth of thy servant David, "Why did the heathen rage, and the people imagine vain things?
26 Miongake o mpanjaka’ ty tane toio, vaho mifanontoñe o mpifelekeo hiatreke Iehovà naho i Noriza’ey.’
The kings of the earth set themselves, and the rulers combined together against the Lord, and against his anointed."
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.
For of a truth, against thy holy Son Jesus, whom thou hast anointed, both Herod, and Pontius Pilate, with the heathen, and the people of Israel,
28 Nanoe’ iereo iaby ze sinafirim-pità’o naho nisatrien’ arofo’o taolo hanoeñe.
have combined to do what thy hand and thy counsel marked out before to be done.
29 Aa ie henane zao, ry Iehovà, vazohò o hatahata’ iareoo, le toloro fahasibehañe o mpitoro’oo hahafitaroña’ iareo o tsara’oo,
And now, O Lord, regard their threatenings; and give to thy servants to speak thy word with all freedom;
30 ie añitia’o fitàñe hampijangañe; vaho anoeñe an-tahina’ Iesoà mpitoro’o masiñey ty viloñe naho raha tsi-tantane.
whilst thou stretchest out thy hand to heal, and signs and wonders are doing through the name of thy holy Son Jesus.
31 Ie niloloke iereo, le niezeñezeñe i toetse nivoria’ iereoy; le fonga nilifotse i Arofo Masiñey vaho nahasibeke nisaontsy ty tsaran’ Añahare.
And while they were praying, the place in which they were assembled was shaken: and they were all filled with the Holy Spirit, and they spoke the word of God with freedom.
32 Songa nitraok’ arofo naho havelo i valobohòm-piantokey, le tsy eo ty nanao te aze o vara’eo fa kila nitraofañe.
Now the heart and soul of the multitude of believers was one: nor did any one call any of his possessions his own; but all things were common among them.
33 Tan-kafatraram-bey ty nitalilia’ o Firàheñeo i fivañonam-belo’ Iesoà Talèy, vaho am’ iereo iaby ty hasoa mitoabotse.
And with great power did the Apostles give forth their testimony concerning the resurrection of the Lord Jesus: and great kindness was among them all.
34 Tsy amam-pisotry iereo, fa ze aman-tane ndra anjomba ro nandeta naho ninday ty vili’ i naletakey,
Neither was there one indigent person among them; for as many as were proprietors of lands or houses, sold them, and brought the price of the things they sold,
35 le nibanabana’e am-pandia’ o Firàheñeo vaho hene nitsahareñe am’ondatio songa ty amy paiañey.
and laid it down at the feet of the Apostles: and distribution was made to each according to his need.
36 Teo t’i Josefe, nte-Levy boake Kiprosy, i natao’ o Firàheñeo Barnabasiy, (ze midika: Anam-pañohòañe).
And Joses, who, by the Apostles, was surnamed Barnabas, (which being interpreted, signifies a Son of Exhortation, ) a Levite, and by birth a Cyprian,
37 Nanan-tane re, le naleta’e naho nendese’e i volay vaho nazotso’e am-pandia’ o Firàheñeo.
having an estate, sold it, and brought the money and laid it down at the feet of the Apostles.
