Acts 11

Ary ny Apostoly sy ny rahalahy izay tany Jodia dia nahare fa ny jentilisa koa efa nandray ny tenin'Andriamanitra.

And the apostles and brethren that were in Judæa heard that the Gentiles had also received the word of God.

Ary nony tafakatra tany Jerosalema Petera, dia nila ady taminy ny mino izay isan'ny voafora

And when Peter was come up to Jerusalem, they that were of the circumcision contended with him,

ka nanao hoe: Efa niantrano tany amin'ny olona tsy voafora ianao sady niara-nihinana taminy.

Saying, Thou wentest in to men uncircumcised, and didst eat with them.

Ary Petera dia nitantara izany taminy hatramin'ny niandohany ka nanao hoe:

But Peter rehearsed the matter from the beginning, and expounded it by order unto them, saying,

Tany an-tanàna Jopa aho ka nivavaka, ary azon-tsindrimandry aho, dia nahita fahitana, ka, indro, nisy zavatra nidina avy tany an-danitra toa lamba lehibe nampidinina tamin'ny zorony efatra, dia nankeo amiko izany;

I was in the city of Joppa praying: and in a trance I saw a vision, A certain vessel descend, as it had been a great sheet, let down from heaven by four corners; and it came even to me:

ary raha nijery sy nandinika azy aho, dia hitako ny biby etỳ an-tany, izay manan-tongotra efatra, sy ny bibi-dia sy ny zava-mandady sy mikisaka ary ny voro-manidina koa.

Upon the which when I had fastened mine eyes, I considered, and saw fourfooted beasts of the earth, and wild beasts, and creeping things, and fowls of the air.

Ary nandre feo koa aho nanao tamiko hoe: Mitsangàna, ry Petera, vonoy, ka hano.

And I heard a voice saying unto me, Arise, Peter; slay and eat.

Fa hoy izaho: Sanatria, Tompoko! fa tsy mbola niditra tamin'ny vavako izay zava-padina na tsy madio.

But I said, Not so, Lord: for nothing common or unclean hath at any time entered into my mouth.

Ary nisy feo avy tany an-danitra namaly fanindroany hoe: Izay efa nodiovin'Andriamanitra aza ataonao ho fady.

But the voice answered me again from heaven, What God hath cleansed, that call not thou common.

Ary intelo no nanaovana izany, dia nosarihana niakatra tany an-danitra indray izany rehetra izany.

And this was done three times: and all were drawn up again into heaven.

Ary tamin'izay dia, Indreo, nisy telo lahy nijanona teo anoloan'ny trano nitoeranay, izay iraka avy tany Kaisaria hankeo amiko.

And, behold, immediately there were three men already come unto the house where I was, sent from Cæsarea unto me.

Dia nasain'ny Fanahy hiaraka tamin'ireo aho ka tsy hizaha tavan'olona na dia kely akory aza. Ary niaraka tamiko koa ireto rahalahy enina ireto, ka niditra tao an-tranon-dralehilahy izahay.

And the Spirit bade me go with them, nothing doubting. Moreover these six brethren accompanied me, and we entered into the man's house:

Ary nambarany taminay ny nahitany ny anjely nitsangana tao an-tranony ka nanao hoe: Maniraha ho any Jopa, ka ampanalao Simona, izay atao hoe koa Petera;

And he shewed us how he had seen an angel in his house, which stood and said unto him, Send men to Joppa, and call for Simon, whose surname is Peter;

izy hilaza teny aminao, izay hamonjena anao sy ny ankohonanao rehetra.

Who shall tell thee words, whereby thou and all thy house shall be saved.

Ary raha vao niteny aho, dia nilatsaka taminy ny Fanahy Masina tahaka ny tamintsika fahiny.

And as I began to speak, the Holy Ghost fell on them, as on us at the beginning.

Dia nahatsiaro ny tenin'ny Tompo aho, izay nolazainy hoe: Jaona nanao batisa tamin'ny rano, fa ianareo kosa dia hatao batisa amin'ny Fanahy Masina.

Then remembered I the word of the Lord, how that he said, John indeed baptized with water; but ye shall be baptized with the Holy Ghost.

Koa raha mba homen'Andriamanitra azy ny fanomezana, tahaka antsika fony isika vao nino an'i Jesosy Kristy Tompo dia iza moa aho no hahasakana an'Andriamanitra?

Forasmuch then as God gave them the like gift as he did unto us, who believed on the Lord Jesus Christ; what was I, that I could withstand God?

Ary rehefa nandre izany ireo, dia nangina sady nankalaza an'Andriamanitra ka nanao hoe: Efa nomen'Andriamanitra ny jentilisa koa ny fibebahana hahazoany fiainana.

When they heard these things, they held their peace, and glorified God, saying, Then hath God also to the Gentiles granted repentance unto life.

Ary izay niely noho ny fanenjehana tamin'i Stefana dia nandeha hatrany, Foinika sy Kyprosy ary Antiokia, nefa tsy nitoriteny tamin'ny olona izy, afa-tsy tamin'ny Jiosy ihany.

Now they which were scattered abroad upon the persecution that arose about Stephen travelled as far as Phenice, and Cyprus, and Antioch, preaching the word to none but unto the Jews only.

Ary ny sasany tamin'ireny, dia lehilahy avy any Kyprosy sy Kyrena izay tonga tany Antiokia, dia niresaka tamin'ny jentilisa koa ka nitory an'i Jesosy Tompo.

And some of them were men of Cyprus and Cyrene, which, when they were come to Antioch, spake unto the Grecians, preaching the Lord Jesus.

Ary ny tanan'ny Tompo nomba azy ireo, ka maro no isan'izay nino sy niverina ho amin'ny Tompo.

And the hand of the Lord was with them: and a great number believed, and turned unto the Lord.

Ary ren'ny sofin'ny fiangonana tany Jerosalema ny amin'ireo, dia naniraka an'i Barnabasy izy handeha hatrany Antiokia.

Then tidings of these things came unto the ears of the church which was in Jerusalem: and they sent forth Barnabas, that he should go as far as Antioch.

Ary rehefa tonga izy ka nahita ny fahasoavan'Andriamanitra, dia faly ka nananatra azy rehetra haharitra hiray amin'ny Tompo amin'ny fo minia fatratra.

Who, when he came, and had seen the grace of God, was glad, and exhorted them all, that with purpose of heart they would cleave unto the Lord.

Fa lehilahy tsara fanahy izy sady feno ny Fanahy Masina sy finoana; ary maro be ny olona nanampy ho an'ny Tompo.

For he was a good man, and full of the Holy Ghost and of faith: and much people was added unto the Lord.

Dia lasa Barnabasy nankany Tarsosy hitady an'i Saoly.

Then departed Barnabas to Tarsus, for to seek Saul:

Ary rehefa nahita azy izy, dia nitondra azy hankany Antiokia. Ary niara-niasa tao amin'ny fiangonana hatramin'ny herintaona ngarangidina izy roa lahy ka nampianatra olona maro; ary tany Antiokia no voalohany nanaovana ny anaran'ny mpianatra hoe.

And when he had found him, he brought him unto Antioch. And it came to pass, that a whole year they assembled themselves with the church, and taught much people. And the disciples were called Christians first in Antioch.

Ary tamin'izany andro izany dia nisy mpaminany sasany avy tany Jerosalema nankany Antiokia.

And in these days came prophets from Jerusalem unto Antioch.

Ary nitsangana ny anankiray tamin'ireny, izay atao hoe Agabo, fa voatsindrin'ny Fanahy izy ka nilaza fa hisy mosary be eran'ny tany rehetra. Ary dia tonga izany tamin'ny andron'i Klaodio.

And there stood up one of them named Agabus, and signified by the Spirit that there should be great dearth throughout all the world: which came to pass in the days of Claudius Cæsar.

Ary ny mpianatra ninia hampitondra zavatra araka ny ananany hamonjy ny rahalahy izay nonina tany Jodia.

Then the disciples, every man according to his ability, determined to send relief unto the brethren which dwelt in Judæa:

Dia nataony izany, ary ny tànan'i Barnabasy sy Saoly no nampitondrainy izany ho any amin'ny loholona.

Which also they did, and sent it to the elders by the hands of Barnabas and Saul.
