Asan'ny Apostoly 8
1 Ninò’ i Saole ty nañitoañe aze. Nifototse amy andro zay ty fisamporeraham-bey amy Fivory e Ierosalemey vaho niparatsiake mb’eo mb’eo e Iehodà naho e Samaria añe iaby, naho tsy o Firàheñeo avao.
And Saul was consenting to his death. And at that time there was a great persecution against the church which was at Jerusalem; and they were all dispersed throughout the regions of Judea and Samaria, except the apostles.
2 Nandenteke i Stefana ondaty vañoñeo vaho nipoña-pandalàñe.
And devout men carried Stephen [to his burial], and made great lamentation over him.
3 Fe nampivalitaboak’ i Fivoriy t’i Saole, nitsatsak’ anjomba, nimoake, vaho nikozozòtse ty lahy naho ampela mb’am-porozò ao.
As for Saul, he made havoc of the church, entering into every house, and hauling men and women committed [them] to prison.
4 Aa le nitaroñe i tsaray mbeo mbeo o niparaitakeo.
Therefore they that were dispersed went every where preaching the word.
5 Nizotso mb’ an-drova Samaria mb’eo t’i Filipo nitaroñe i Norizañey.
Then Philip went down to the city of Samaria, and preached Christ to them.
6 Songa nihaòñe’ ondatio o saontsi’ i Filipoo, ie nijanjiñe naho nahaisake o viloñe fanjaka nanoe’eo.
And the people with one accord gave heed to those things which Philip spoke, hearing and seeing the miracles which he performed.
7 Nihorentseñe an-tazataza ty kokolampa tsiefa nakareñe am’ondaty nitokoe’eo, naho maro ty kombo vaho ty kepeke nijangañe.
For unclean spirits, crying with loud voice, came out of many that were possessed: and many taken with palsies, and that were lame, were healed.
8 Le firebeham-bey ty tan-drova ao.
And there was great joy in that city.
9 Tamy rovay henane zay t’indaty atao Simona mpanao sahàtse, nahalatsa o nte Samariao, ie nieva ho aman’ àsiñe,
But there was a certain man called Simon, who before in the same city used sorcery, and bewitched the people of Samaria, giving out that himself was some great one:
10 nihaoñe’ ze hene ondaty, ty bey naho ty kede, le nanao ty hoe: Haozaran-dra’ elahin’ añahare indaty zay.
To whom they all gave heed, from the least to the greatest, saying, This man is the great power of God.
11 Hene nañorik’ aze ondatio amy te ela ty namoreha’e amo sahàtse fanoe’eo.
And to him they had regard, because that for a long time he had bewitched them with sorceries.
12 Aa ie niantofa’ iareo t’i Filipo amy nitaroña’e i talili-soa’ i Fifehean’Añahareiy naho ty tahina’ Iesoà Norizañey, le nilipotse: ondaty naho rakemba.
But when they believed Philip, preaching the things concerning the kingdom of God, and the name of Jesus Christ, they were baptized both men and women.
13 Toe niantoke ka t’i Simona le nalipotse, vaho nañorik’ i Filipo sikal’aia sikal’aia fa nilatsa t’ie nahaisake o viloñe fanjaka naho raha tsi-tantane nanoeñeo.
Then Simon himself believed also: and when he was baptized, he continued with Philip, and wondered, beholding the miracles and signs which were done.
14 Ie jinanji’ o Firàheñe e Ierosalemeo te niantoke ty tsaran’ Añahare o nte Samariao, le nañirake i Petera naho i Jaona homb’am’iereo añe.
Now when the apostles who were at Jerusalem heard that Samaria had received the word of God, they sent to them Peter and John:
15 Ie nizotso mb’eo le nihalaly ho a’ iareo, handrambesa’e i Arofo Masiñey;
Who, when they had come down, prayed for them that they might receive the Holy Spirit:
16 ie mbe tsy nivotraha’e; fa ami’ty tahina’ Iesoà Talè avao ty nampiliporañe iareo.
(For as yet he had fallen upon none of them: only they were baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus.)
17 Aa le nanampeza’ i Petera naho i Jaona fitañe handrambesa’ iereo i Arofo Masiñey.
Then they laid [their] hands on them, and they received the Holy Spirit.
18 Aa ie nioni’ i Simona te i fampitongoam-pità’ o Firaheñeoy ro nanolorañe i Arofo Masiñey le nibanabana’e drala,
And when Simon saw that through laying on of the apostles' hands the Holy Spirit was given, he offered them money,
19 ami’ty hoe: Anoloro ahy ka o haozarañe zao soa te, ndra iaia hanampezako tañañe ro handrambe i Arofo Masiñey.
Saying, Give me also this power, that on whomsoever I lay hands, he may receive the Holy Spirit.
20 Hoe ty natoi’ i Petera aze: Hindre hikoromak’ ama’o o drala’oo kanao sinafiri’o te ho vilie’o drala ty falalàn’ Añahare!
But Peter said to him, Thy money perish with thee, because thou hast thought that the gift of God may be purchased with money.
21 Tsy aman’ anjara, naho tsy mitraok’ ami’ty tsara toy irehe, fa tsy vañoñe añatrefan’ Añahare ty tro’o.
Thou hast neither part nor lot in this matter: for thy heart is not right in the sight of God.
22 Mibaboha amy haloloañey, naho misolohoa amy Iehovà, he mete ihahàñe amy fitsakorean-tro’oy,
Repent therefore of this thy wickedness, and pray God, if perhaps the thought of thy heart may be forgiven thee.
23 amy te rendreko t’ie aman-kafairan’ afero vaho androhizan-kakeo.
For I perceive that thou art in the gall of bitterness, and [in] the bond of iniquity.
24 Aa le tinoi’ i Simona ty hoe: Mihalalia amy Iehovà ho ahy, ry aba te tsy hizò ahy i nisaontsia’areoy.
Then answered Simon, and said, Pray ye to the Lord for me, that none of these things which ye have spoken come upon me.
25 Aa ie fa nitaroñe naho nitsey ty tsara’ Iehovà, le nibalike mb’e Ierosaleme mb’eo t’i Petera naho i Jaona, nitsey i talili-soay ami’ty rova maro’ o nte-Samariao.
And they, when they had testified and preached the word of the Lord, returned to Jerusalem, and preached the gospel in many villages of the Samaritans.
26 Ie amy zay, nitsara ty hoe amy Filipo ty anjeli’ Iehovà: Mañatimoa mb’amy lalañe mizotso hirike Ierosaleme mb’e Gaza mb’amy ratraratray mb’eoy.
And the angel of the Lord spoke to Philip, saying, Arise, and go towards the south, to the way that goeth down from Jerusalem to Gaza, which is desert.
27 Aa le niongake nañavelo mb’eo re, naho naheo’e ty nte Etiopia doga-lahy mpanandily bey amy Kandasie mpanjaka-ampela’ o nte Etiopiao naho mpamandroñe o vara’e iabio, ie nañavelo mb’e Ierosaleme mb’eo nitalaho,
And he arose, and went: and behold, a man of Ethiopia, a eunuch of great authority under Candace queen of the Ethiopians, who had the charge of all her treasure, and had come to Jerusalem to worship,
28 naho nibalike amy zao niambesatse an-tsarete’e ao namaky Isaia mpitoky.
Was returning; and sitting in his chariot, read Isaiah the prophet.
29 Le hoe i Arofoy amy Filipo, Harineo o sarete ey hoeke eio naho ireketo.
Then the Spirit said to Philip, Go near and join thyself to this chariot.
30 Nihitrike mb’eo t’i Filipo naho nahajanjiñe aze namaky Isaia mpitoky, le hoe re: Fohi’o hao o vakie’oo?
And Philip ran thither to [him], and heard him reading the prophet Isaiah, and said, Understandest thou what thou readest?
31 Aa hoe re, Aia ty haharendrehako naho tsy amam-panoro? Aa le nampihovàe’e hijoñe ao t’i Filipo hitrao-piambesatse.
And he said, How can I, except some man should guide me? And he desired Philip that he would come up, and sit with him.
32 Ty hoe i nivakie’e amy Sokitse Masiñeiy: Kinozozòtse hoe añondry ho lentaen-dre, Le hambañe ami’ty fitsiña’ ty vik’añondry añatrefa’ o mpañitsik’ azeo, t’ie tsy nanoka-palie.
The place of the scripture which he read was this, He was led as a sheep to the slaughter; and like a lamb dumb before his shearer, so he opened not his mouth:
33 Nareke naho tsy nimean-tò; Ia ty haha-volily o tarira’eo, amy te nasitak’an-tane atoy ty havelo’e;
In his humiliation his judgment was taken away: and who shall declare his generation? for his life is taken from the earth.
34 Aa hoe ty ontane’ i doga-lahiy amy Filipo: Ehe, ia ty isaontsia’ i mpitokiy, ty vata’e ke ty ila’e?
And the eunuch answered Philip, and said, I pray thee, of whom speaketh the prophet this? of himself, or of some other man?
35 Le nanoka-palie t’i Filipo nifototse amy pinatetse amy Sokitse Masiñeiy, nitalily Iesoà.
Then Philip opened his mouth, and began at the same scripture, and preached to him Jesus.
36 Ie nañavelo mb’eo, le nizo rano vaho hoe i doga-lahiy, Intia ty rano, ino ty manebañe ahy tsy halipotse?
And as they went on [their] way, they came to a certain water: and the eunuch said, See, [here is] water; what doth hinder me to be baptized?
And Philip said, If thou believest with all thy heart, thou mayest. And he answered and said, I believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God.
38 Aa le linili’e te hitsangañe i saretey naho sindre nijoñe an-drano ao iereon-droroe, i doga-lahiy naho i Filipo, vaho nalipo’e.
And he commanded the chariot to stand still: and they both went down into the water, both Philip and the eunuch; and he baptized him.
39 Ie nitroatse amy ranoy le nampihelañe’ i Arofo Masiñey añe t’i Filipo vaho tsy nioni’ i doga-lahiy ka, fe tinonjohi’e an-drebeke i lia’ey.
And when they had come up out of the water, the Spirit of the Lord caught away Philip, that the eunuch saw him no more: and he went on his way rejoicing.
40 Nizoeñe Azota añe t’i Filipo; le niranga mb’eo re nitolom-pitaroñe i talili-soay amy ze hene rova ampara’ t’ie nandoak’ e Kaisaria añe.
But Philip was found at Azotus: and passing through, he preached in all the cities, till he came to Cesarea.
