Asan'ny Apostoly 9
1 Ie mbe nikofòke fitrevohañe naho fanjamanañe amo mpiamy Talèo t’i Saole le niheo mb’amy talèm-pisoroñey mb’eo
And Saul, yet breathing out threatenings and slaughter against the disciples of the Lord, went unto the high priest,
2 nihalaly taratasy ho amo fitontonañe e Damaskose añeo, soa te hasese an-drohy mb’e Ierosaleme mb’eo ze mpiamy Lalañey zoe’e añe, ndra lahilahy ndra ampela.
And desired of him letters to Damascus to the synagogues, that if he found any of this way, whether they were men or women, he might bring them bound unto Jerusalem.
3 Ie nifokofoko mb’eo naho niharine i Damaskose le tojo te niarisehoa’ ty hazavàñe nireandreañe boak’ andindìñe ey.
And as he journeyed, he came near Damascus: and suddenly there shined round about him a light from heaven:
4 Nidoiñe an-tane eo re vaho nahajanjiñe ty fiarañanañañe nanao ty hoe: Saole, Saole, akore ty ampisoaña’o ahy?
And he fell to the earth, and heard a voice saying unto him, Saul, Saul, why persecutest thou me?
5 Ia v’Iheo, Talè? hoe re. Hoe ty natoi’e, Izaho o Iesoà samporerahe’oo.
And he said, Who art thou, Lord? And the Lord said, I am Jesus whom thou persecutest: [it is] hard for thee to kick against the pricks.
6 Aa le miongaha, iziliho o rovao le ho taroñeñ’ ama’o ty tsi-mahay tsy hanoe’o.
And he trembling and astonished said, Lord, what wilt thou have me to do? And the Lord [said] unto him, Arise, and go into the city, and it shall be told thee what thou must do.
7 Nijohañe eo ondaty nitrao-dia ama’eo fe tsy nahakofòke, jinanjiñe i fiarañanañañey f’ie tsy nahaisake ndra iaia.
And the men which journeyed with him stood speechless, hearing a voice, but seeing no man.
8 Nitroatse amy taney t’i Saole, le ndra te nibeake o fihaino’eo tsy nahavazoho. Aa le kinozozò’ iereo am-pitàñe vaho nimoake e Damaskose ao.
And Saul arose from the earth; and when his eyes were opened, he saw no man: but they led him by the hand, and brought [him] into Damascus.
9 Telo andro t’ie tsy nahaisake, tsy nikama, naho tsy ninoñe.
And he was three days without sight, and neither did eat nor drink.
10 Te Damaskose ao ty mpiato atao Ananiasy; nikanjia’ i Talè añ’ aroñaroñe, nanao ty hoe: O Ananiasy! Intoy iraho, Rañandria, hoe re.
And there was a certain disciple at Damascus, named Ananias; and to him said the Lord in a vision, Ananias. And he said, Behold, I [am here], Lord.
11 Hoe t’i Talè tama’e: Miongaha, akia mb’an-dalañe atao Vantañe mb’eo le añontaneo añ’anjomba’ i Jodasy ao, ty atao Saole nte Tarsosy, mitalaho,
And the Lord [said] unto him, Arise, and go into the street which is called Straight, and enquire in the house of Judas for [one] called Saul, of Tarsus: for, behold, he prayeth,
12 toe fa nioni’e añ’aroñaroñe t’indaty atao Ananiasy miheo mb’ ama’e mb’eo hanampe fitàñe ama’e hampibarababeak’ aze.
And hath seen in a vision a man named Ananias coming in, and putting [his] hand on him, that he might receive his sight.
13 O Talè hoe ty natoi’ i Ananiasy, Fa tsinanoko amy màroy indatiy, ty fijoiañe nanoe’e am’ondaty noro’o e Ierosalemeo.
Then Ananias answered, Lord, I have heard by many of this man, how much evil he hath done to thy saints at Jerusalem:
14 Mbore aman-dily boak’ amo mpisorom-beio re homb’ etoañe handrohy ze hene mikanjy ty tahina’o.
And here he hath authority from the chief priests to bind all that call on thy name.
15 Fe hoe t’i Talè tama’e: Akia! fa haraotse jinoboko ho ahy re hinday ty añarako añatrefa’ o kilakila ‘ndatio naho amo mpanjakao vaho amo ana’ Israeleo.
But the Lord said unto him, Go thy way: for he is a chosen vessel unto me, to bear my name before the Gentiles, and kings, and the children of Israel:
16 Fe hatoroko aze ty hara’ elahim-pisotriañe ho ama’e ty ami’ty añarako.
For I will shew him how great things he must suffer for my name’s sake.
17 Aa le nimb’eo t’i Ananiasy, nizilik’ amy anjombay, naho nanampe fitàñe ama’e nanao ty hoe: O Saole rahalahy; i Talè Iesoà nisodeha’ ama’o an-dalañe nimba’o mb’etoañey ty nañirak’ ahy mb’ ama’o mb’etoa hampahaisak’ azo, le ho lifore’ i Arofo Masiñey.
And Ananias went his way, and entered into the house; and putting his hands on him said, Brother Saul, the Lord, [even] Jesus, that appeared unto thee in the way as thou camest, hath sent me, that thou mightest receive thy sight, and be filled with the Holy Ghost.
18 Nihintsañe am-pihaino’e amy zao ty raha hoe sisi’e, le nahaisake naho niongake vaho nalipotse.
And immediately there fell from his eyes as it had been scales: and he received sight forthwith, and arose, and was baptized.
19 Ie nikama le nihaozareñe, le nindre amo mpiòke e Damaskoseo andro tsiampeampe;
And when he had received meat, he was strengthened. Then was Saul certain days with the disciples which were at Damascus.
20 vaho aniany avao t’ie nitaroñe i Norizañey amo fitontonañeo te Anan’ Añahare t’Iesoà.
And straightway he preached Christ in the synagogues, that he is the Son of God.
21 Hene nilatsa ze nahajanjiñe aze, nanao ty hoe: Tsy itoy hao i nandrotsake ze fonga mpikanjy i tahinañey e Ierosalemey? ie nimb’ atoa nikilily ty hanese iareo am-bahotse mb’añ’atrefa’ o mpisorom-beio?
But all that heard [him] were amazed, and said; Is not this he that destroyed them which called on this name in Jerusalem, and came hither for that intent, that he might bring them bound unto the chief priests?
22 Nitombo erike ty haozara’ i Saole vaho nahadaba o Jiosy nimoneñe e Damaskoseo ty famentea’e te Iesoà i Norizañey.
But Saul increased the more in strength, and confounded the Jews which dwelt at Damascus, proving that this is very Christ.
23 Aa naho maro andro añe le nikilily hamono aze o Tehodao,
And after that many days were fulfilled, the Jews took counsel to kill him:
24 fe nirendre’ i Saole i fikiniañey t’ie nitampoñe ty lalam-bei’ i rovay handro an-kaleñe hañohofan-doza ama’e.
But their laying await was known of Saul. And they watched the gates day and night to kill him.
25 Aa le nasese’ o mpiòkeo haleñe vaho nazè’ iareo amy kijoliy an-jahetse.
Then the disciples took him by night, and let [him] down by the wall in a basket.
26 Ie pok’e Ierosaleme ao t’i Saole le nimanea’e fireketse amo Firàheñeo, fe hene nihembañe ama’e vaho tsy niantoke t’ie toe mpiama’e.
And when Saul was come to Jerusalem, he assayed to join himself to the disciples: but they were all afraid of him, and believed not that he was a disciple.
27 Aa le nendese’ i Barnabasy mb’ amo Firàheñeo, le natalili’e am’ iareo t’ie nahaoniñ’ i Talè amy lia’ey naho nisaontsia’e, vaho t’ie nahavany nitaroñe ami’ty tahina’ Iesoà e Damaskose añe.
But Barnabas took him, and brought [him] to the apostles, and declared unto them how he had seen the Lord in the way, and that he had spoken to him, and how he had preached boldly at Damascus in the name of Jesus.
28 Aa le nindre am’iereo re nihelohelo e Ierosaleme ao,
And he was with them coming in and going out at Jerusalem.
29 nitaroñe ami’ty tahina’ i Talè am-pahasibehañe naho nifanaontsy naho nifandietse amo Jiosy nte-Heleneo, vaho nimanea’ iareo havetrake.
And he spake boldly in the name of the Lord Jesus, and disputed against the Grecians: but they went about to slay him.
30 Ie nirendre’ o mpirahalahio le nasese’ iareo mb’e Kaisaria mb’eo vaho nahitri’ iereo mb’e Tarsosy añe.
[Which] when the brethren knew, they brought him down to Cæsarea, and sent him forth to Tarsus.
31 Nierañerañe amy zao ty fivory era’ Iehodà naho e Galilia vaho e Samaria añe mbore niraorao naho nañavelo am-pañeveñañe amy Iehovà naho amy fañohòa’ i Arofoy vaho niha-maro.
Then had the churches rest throughout all Judæa and Galilee and Samaria, and were edified; and walking in the fear of the Lord, and in the comfort of the Holy Ghost, were multiplied.
32 Ie niranga mb’eo mb’eo t’i Petera, le nizotso mb’amo noro’e e Lidà añeo.
And it came to pass, as Peter passed throughout all [quarters], he came down also to the saints which dwelt at Lydda.
33 Teo re te naharendreke t’indaty atao Aenea, ie fa natindry valo taoñe, nisilofe’ ty hakepeke.
And there he found a certain man named Æneas, which had kept his bed eight years, and was sick of the palsy.
34 Hoe t’i Petera ama’e, O Aenea, mampijangañ’ azo t’Iesoà Norizañe. Miongaha le halankaño o tihi’oo. Aa le niongak’ ami’ty manao zao.
And Peter said unto him, Æneas, Jesus Christ maketh thee whole: arise, and make thy bed. And he arose immediately.
35 Toe nahaisak’ aze ze hene mpimoneñe e Lidà naho e Sarona vaho nitolik’ amy Talè.
And all that dwelt at Lydda and Saron saw him, and turned to the Lord.
36 Te Jopa ao henane zay ty mpiato atao Tabitae (midika: Dorkasie), lifotse fitoloñan-tsoa vaho nainai’e mpitretrè o rarakeo.
Now there was at Joppa a certain disciple named Tabitha, which by interpretation is called Dorcas: this woman was full of good works and almsdeeds which she did.
37 Ie tamy andro rezay, narare vaho nihomake; nampiandroe’ iareo naho nirohoteñe an-traño ambone ao.
And it came to pass in those days, that she was sick, and died: whom when they had washed, they laid [ her] in an upper chamber.
38 Kanao marine i Lidà ty Jopa le ie nifohi’ o mpiatoo te e Lidà añe t’i Petera, le nampisangitrife’ iereo mb’ama’e t’indaty roe hanohiñe aze ami’ty hoe: O Aba, ehe mb’etoy, le ko mihenekeneke.
And forasmuch as Lydda was nigh to Joppa, and the disciples had heard that Peter was there, they sent unto him two men, desiring [him] that he would not delay to come to them.
39 Aa le niongake t’i Petera nindre lia ama’e; ie pok’ao le nasese amy efetse amboney. Niarikoboñe aze o vantotse iabio, nirovetse, vaho naboa’ iereo iaby ty saroñe naho sikiñe namboare’ i Dorkasie ie mbe tam’ iereo.
Then Peter arose and went with them. When he was come, they brought him into the upper chamber: and all the widows stood by him weeping, and shewing the coats and garments which Dorcas made, while she was with them.
40 Fonga nampiakare’ i Petera, le nanongaleke naho nihalaly, vaho nitolik’ amy fañòvay nanao ty hoe: O Tabitae, mitroara. Nabea’e amy zao o fihaino’eo, aa ie niisa’e t’i Petera le nitroatse.
But Peter put them all forth, and kneeled down, and prayed; and turning [him] to the body said, Tabitha, arise. And she opened her eyes: and when she saw Peter, she sat up.
41 Nanolo-pitañe aze re le nongaha’e, naho kinanji’e o mpiato naho vantotseo vaho natolo’e am’iereo veloñe.
And he gave her [his] hand, and lifted her up, and when he had called the saints and widows, presented her alive.
42 Nañatseke i Jopa ty fahafohinañe izay vaho maro ty niantoke i Talè.
And it was known throughout all Joppa; and many believed in the Lord.
43 Nitambatse e Jopa ao andro maro t’i Petera ami’ty mpandoñ’ angozy atao Simona.
And it came to pass, that he tarried many days in Joppa with one Simon a tanner.
