Asan'ny Apostoly 1
1 I lañonañe valoha’e nanoekoy, ry Teofily, ami’ty nifotora’ Iesoà nanao, naho nañòke
I have made the former treatise, O Theophilus, of al that Jesus began to doe and teach,
2 pak’ amy andro nampionjonañe azey, ie fa nanoro o Firàheñe jinobo’e añamy Arofo Masiñeio.
Vntill the day that hee was taken vp, after that hee through the holy Ghost, had giuen commandements vnto the Apostles, whome hee had chosen:
3 Aa naho niheneke i halovilovia’ey le niboak’ am’ iereo naho niventè’e an-tsata maro, hampatokisañe iareo t’ie veloñe, vaho niisa’ iareo efa-polo andro, le nitaroña’e i Fifehean’ Añaharey.
To whome also he presented himselfe aliue after that he had suffered, by many infallible tokens, being seene of them by the space of fourtie daies, and speaking of those thinges which appertaine to the kingdome of God.
4 Aa ie nifañaoñe le nafanto’e te tsy hiakats’ Ierosaleme fa handiñe i nampitaman-dRaey: i Jinanji’ areo amakoy.
And when he had gathered them together, he commanded them, that they should not depart from Hierusalem, but to waite for the promise of the Father, which sayde hee, yee haue heard of me.
5 Nampilipotse an-drano t’i Jaona, fe halipotse amy Arofo Masiñey nahareo te heron-kerone.
For Iohn in deede baptized with water, but ye shall be baptized with the holy Ghost within these fewe daies.
6 Aa ie nifanontoñe le nañontanea’ iareo ty hoe: O Rañandria, Hampolie’o am’ Israele henaneo hao i fifeheañey?
When they therefore were come together, they asked of him, saying, Lord, wilt thou at this time restore the kingdome to Israel?
7 Hoe re tam’ iereo: Tsy anahareo ty hahafohiñe ty andro ndra o sa nalaha n-dRae amy fandilia’eio,
And hee saide vnto them, It is not for you to know the times, or the seasons, which the Father hath put in his owne power,
8 fe handrambe haozarañe nahareo te ivotraha’ i Arofo Masiñey; ho mpitalily ahy e Ierosaleme naho e Iehodà iaby naho e Samaria ao vaho pak’ antsietoitane añe.
But yee shall receiue power of the holy Ghost, when he shall come on you: and ye shalbe witnesses vnto me both in Hierusalem and in all Iudea, and in Samaria, and vnto the vttermost part of the earth.
9 Ie nitsarae’e le nonjoneñe vaho rinambe’ ty rahoñe tsy ho am-pahaisaha’ iareo.
And when he had spoken these things, while they behelde, he was taken vp: for a cloude tooke him vp out of their sight.
10 Ie mbe nitalake mb’andikerañe eñe mb’amy nionjona’ey, hehe te nijohañe añila’ iereo t’indaty roe nisarom-poty
And while they looked stedfastly towarde heauen, as hee went, beholde, two men stoode by them in white apparell,
11 nanao ty hoe, Ry nte-Galilia, akore t’ie miandrandra mb’ andindìñe ey? Iesoà nirambeseñe boak’ ama’ areo mb’andindimb’eoy ro hibalike manahake i nahaisaha’ areo aze nionjoñe mb’andikerañe eñey.
Which also sayde, Yee men of Galile, why stande yee gasing into heauen? This Iesus which is taken vp from you into heauen, shall so come, as yee haue seene him goe into heauen.
12 Aa le nibalike mb’e Ierosaleme mb’eo iereo, boak’ami’ty vohitse atao Oliva, mañeva fañaveloan-tSabotse boake Ierosaleme.
Then returned they vnto Hierusalem from the mount that is called the mount of Oliues, which is neere to Hierusalem, being from it a Sabbath daies iourney.
13 Ie nigodañe ao iereo le niañambone mb’ añ’ efetse ambone ami’ty nitobea’ i Petera naho Iakobe naho i Jaona naho i Andrea, i Filipo naho i Tomasy, i Bartolomeo naho i Matio, Iakobe ana’ i Alfeo naho i Simona Zelota, vaho i Jodasy ana’ Iakobe.
And when they were come in, they went vp into an vpper chamber, where abode both Peter and Iames, and Iohn, and Andrew, Philip, and Thomas, Bartlemew, and Matthewe, Iames the sonne of Alpheus, and Simon Zelotes, and Iudas Iames brother.
14 Ie nitraok’ ìna naho nitolom-pitalaho naho halaly miharo amo Rakembao naho i Marie rene’ Iesoà vaho o roahalahi’eo.
These all continued with one accorde in prayer and supplication with the women, and Marie the mother of Iesus, and with his brethren.
15 Niongak’ añivo’ o rolongoo amy andro rezay t’i Petera (va’e zato tsy roapolo ty aman-tahinañe nifanontoñe ao) le nanao ty hoe:
And in those dayes Peter stoode vp in the middes of the disciples, and sayde (nowe the nomber of names that were in one place were about an hundreth and twentie.)
16 Ry longo, tsi-mete tsy niheneke i Sokitse Masiñe nitokie’ i Arofo Masiñey am-palie’ i Davide i Jodasy niaolo o nitsepake Iesoàoy.
Yee men and brethren, this scripture must needes haue beene fulfilled, which the holy Ghost by the mouth of Dauid spake before of Iudas, which was guide to them that tooke Iesus.
17 Ie nivolilieñe aman-tika naho nandrambe anjara amo fitoroñañe zao.
For hee was nombred with vs, and had obteined fellowship in this ministration.
18 (Nahazoan-teteke indatiy amy tamben-tahi’ey, ie nitsirikoake naho niponake, vaho hene niforotrake o tsinai’eo.)
He therefore hath purchased a field with the reward of iniquitie: and when he had throwen downe himselfe headlong, hee brast asunder in the middes, and all his bowels gushed out.
19 Nanitsike o mpimoneñe e Ierosaleme ao iabio izay vaho tinoka’ iereo ty hoe Akeldama i tonday ami’ty saontsi’ iareo, midika ty hoe: Tondan-dio.
And it is knowen vnto all the inhabitants of Hierusalem, in so much, that that field is called in their owne language, Aceldama, That is, the field of blood.
20 Toe nipatereñe amy boken-Tsaboy, ty hoe: Adono hangoakoake ty traño’e, tsy hiambesara’ ondaty ka, vaho: ho rambese’ ty ila’e i fehe’ey.
For it is written in the booke of Psalmes, Let his habitation be void, and let no man dwel therein: also, Let another take his charge.
21 Aa naho ondaty nirekets’ amantika amy ze hene andro niziliha’ i Iesoà Talè naho niakara’e amantika,
Wherefore of these men which haue companied with vs, all the time that the Lord Iesus was conuersant among vs,
22 mifototse amy nampilipora’ i Jaonay pak’amy andro nandrambesañe aze aman-tikañeio; le raik’ amy rezay ty ho mpiaman-tika valolombelo’ i fitroara’ey.
Beginning from the baptisme of Iohn vnto the day that hee was taken vp from vs, must one of them bee made a witnesse with vs of his resurrection.
23 Aa le nonjoñeñe roe: Iosefe atao Barsabasy (i Josto ty añaram-binta’e), naho i Matia;
And they presented two, Ioseph called Barsabas, whose surname was Iustus, and Matthias.
24 vaho hoe iereo te nihalaly: Ry Iehovà, mpaharofoanañe ze kila arofo, atorò anay ty jinobo’o amo roe retoañe,
And they praied, saying, Thou Lord, which knowest the hearts of all men, shewe whether of these two thou hast chosen,
25 handrambesa’e anjara ami’ty fitoroñañe toy naho ty maha-Firàheñe, ie niola t’i Jodasy nivike mb’amy nevae’e ao.
That he may take the roume of this ministration and Apostleship, from which Iudas hath gone astray, to goe to his owne place.
26 Aa le nanoa’ iareo tsato-piso naho nitsatoke amy Matia, ie ty nitovo’ i Firàheñe folo-raik’ amby rey.
Then they gaue foorth their lottes: and the lotte fell on Matthias, and hee was by a common consent counted with the eleuen Apostles.
