Acts 19

Ary raha mbola tany Korinto Apolosy, dia nitety ny tany ambony Paoly ka tonga tany Efesosy, dia nahita mpianatra sasany teo izy

And it came to pass, that, while Apollos was at Corinth, Paul having passed through the upper coasts came to Ephesus: and finding certain disciples,

ka nanao taminy hoe: Efa noraisinareo va ny Fanahy Masina, fony vao nino ianareo? Fa ireo nanao taminy hoe: Tsy renay akory fa efa nomena ny Fanahy Masina.

He said unto them, Have ye received the Holy Ghost since ye believed? And they said unto him, We have not so much as heard whether there be any Holy Ghost.

Ary hoy Paoly: Ho amin'inona ary no nanaovana batisa anareo? Dia hoy ireo: Ho amin'ny batisan'i Jaona.

And he said unto them, Unto what then were ye baptized? And they said, Unto John's baptism.

Fa hoy Paoly: Jaona nanao ny batisan'ny fibebahana ka nilaza tamin'ny olona hino Izay ho avy manaraka azy, dia Jesosy.

Then said Paul, John verily baptized with the baptism of repentance, saying unto the people, that they should believe on him which should come after him, that is, on Christ Jesus.

Ary raha nahare izany izy, dia natao batisa ho amin'ny anaran'i Jesosy Tompo.

When they heard this, they were baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus.

Ary rehefa nametrahan'i Paoly tanana izy, dia nilatsaka taminy ny Fanahy Masina; ary niteny tamin'ny teny tsy fantatra izy sady naminany.

And when Paul had laid his hands upon them, the Holy Ghost came on them; and they spake with tongues, and prophesied.

Ary tokony ho roa ambin'ny folo lahy no isan'izy rehetra.

And all the men were about twelve.

Ary Paoly niditra tao amin'ny synagoga ka niteny tamin'ny fahasahiana, dia niady hevitra telo volana ka nampanaiky ny amin'ny fanjakan'Andriamanitra.

And he went into the synagogue, and spake boldly for the space of three months, disputing and persuading the things concerning the kingdom of God.

Fa raha nikiribiby ny sasany ka tsy nanaiky, fa niteny ratsy izany fampianarana izany teo imason'ny olona maro, dia niala tamin'ireo izy ka nitondra ny mpianatra nitokana, dia niady hevitra isan'andro tao amin'ny trano fampianaran'i Tyrano.

But when divers were hardened, and believed not, but spake evil of that way before the multitude, he departed from them, and separated the disciples, disputing daily in the school of one Tyrannus.

Ary naharitra roa taona ngarangidina izany, ka dia nandre ny tenin'ny Tompo izay rehetra nonina tany Asia, na Jiosy na jentilisa.

And this continued by the space of two years; so that all they which dwelt in Asia heard the word of the Lord Jesus, both Jews and Greeks.

Ary ny tànan'i Paoly no nanaovan'Andriamanitra fahagagana lehibe maro,

And God wrought special miracles by the hands of Paul:

ka dia ny mosara sy ny fiaron'akanjo teny aminy no nentina hatao amin'ny marary, dia sitrana ny aretiny, ary nivoaka ny fanahy ratsy.

So that from his body were brought unto the sick handkerchiefs or aprons, and the diseases departed from them, and the evil spirits went out of them.

Ary nisy Jiosy sasany, mpiriorio mamoaka fanahy ratsy, izay ninia nanonona ny anaran'i Jesosy Tompo koa teo ambonin'ny manana fanahy ratsy ka nanao hoe: Mampianiana anareo amin'i Jesosy Izay torin'i Paoly aho.

Then certain of the vagabond Jews, exorcists, took upon them to call over them which had evil spirits the name of the Lord Jesus, saying, We adjure you by Jesus whom Paul preacheth.

Ary nisy fito mirahalahy, zanak'i Skeva, Jiosy, lohan'ny mpisorona, izay nanao izany.

And there were seven sons of one Sceva, a Jew, and chief of the priests, which did so.

Ary ny fanahy ratsy namaly ka nanao taminy hoe: Fantatro Jesosy, ary fantatro koa Paoly; fa mba iza kosa moa ianareo?

And the evil spirit answered and said, Jesus I know, and Paul I know; but who are ye?

Ary ny lehilahy izay nanana ny fanahy ratsy dia niantsambotra tamin'ireo ary nahery ka naharesy azy roa lahy, dia nandositra niala tamin'izany trano izany ireo sady nitanjaka no voaratra.

And the man in whom the evil spirit was leaped on them, and overcame them, and prevailed against them, so that they fled out of that house naked and wounded.

Ary fantatry ny Jiosy sy ny jentilisa rehetra izay nonina tany Efesosy izany; dia raiki-tahotra ny olona rehetra ka nankalaza ny anaran'i Jesosy Tompo.

And this was known to all the Jews and Greeks also dwelling at Ephesus; and fear fell on them all, and the name of the Lord Jesus was magnified.

Ary maro izay nino dia tonga ka niaiky sy nilaza ny asany.

And many that believed came, and confessed, and shewed their deeds.

Ary maro ny mpanao ody no nanangona ny bokiny ka nandoro azy teo imason'ny olona rehetra; ary nony voatontaly ny tokom-bidiny, dia hita fa volafotsy dimy alina izany.

Many of them also which used curious arts brought their books together, and burned them before all men: and they counted the price of them, and found it fifty thousand pieces of silver.

Fatratra toy izany no fandroson'ny tenin'Andriamanitra sy ny heriny.

So mightily grew the word of God and prevailed.

Ary rehefa vita izany zavatra izany, Paoly dia nikasa tao am-pony handeha hamaky an'i Makedonia sy Akaia aloha vao hankany Jerosalema ka nanao hoe: Rehefa tonga any aho, dia tsy maintsy hahita an'i Roma koa.

After these things were ended, Paul purposed in the spirit, when he had passed through Macedonia and Achaia, to go to Jerusalem, saying, After I have been there, I must also see Rome.

Ary ny roa lahy tamin'izay nanompo ary, dia Timoty sy Erasto, no nirahiny nankany Makedonia; fa izy mbola nitoetra tany Asia andro vitsivitsy kosa.

So he sent into Macedonia two of them that ministered unto him, Timotheus and Erastus; but he himself stayed in Asia for a season.

Ary tamin'izany andro izany dia nisy tabataba be ihany ny amin'izany fampianarana izany.

And the same time there arose no small stir about that way.

Fa nisy lehilahy anankiray atao hoe Demetrio, mpanefy volafotsy, izay nanao sarin'ny tempolin'i Diana tamin'ny volafotsy, dia nampahazo harena be ny mpanefy;

For a certain man named Demetrius, a silversmith, which made silver shrines for Diana, brought no small gain unto the craftsmen;

ireny mbamin'ny mpanao zavatra hafa koa toy izany dia nantsoiny hiangona ka nilazany hoe: Tompokolahy, fantatrareo fa amin'izao tao-zavatra izao no ahazoantsika harena.

Whom he called together with the workmen of like occupation, and said, Sirs, ye know that by this craft we have our wealth.

Ary hitanareo sy renareo fa tsy eto Efesosy ihany, fa saiky manerana an'i Asia rehetra dia mitaona olona betsaka izany Paoly izany ka mampivily ny samy manao hoe: Tsy Andriamanitra izay zavatra nataon-tanana.

Moreover ye see and hear, that not alone at Ephesus, but almost throughout all Asia, this Paul hath persuaded and turned away much people, saying that they be no gods, which are made with hands:

Ka dia tsy izao raharahantsika izao ihany no ahina hatao ho zava-poana; fa ny tempolin'i Diana, andriamani-bavy lehibe, dia hatao tsinontsinona koa aza, ka ho afa-boninahitra ilay ivavahan'i Asia rehetra sy izao tontolo izao.

So that not only this our craft is in danger to be set at nought; but also that the temple of the great goddess Diana should be despised, and her magnificence should be destroyed, whom all Asia and the world worshippeth.

Ary rehefa nandre izany izy ireo, dia tezitra loatra ka niantso hoe: Lehibe Dianan'ny Efesiana!

And when they heard these sayings, they were full of wrath, and cried out, saying, Great is Diana of the Ephesians.

Ary nanerana ny tanàna ny tabataba; ary rehefa nisarika an'i Gaio sy Aristarko, lehilahy Makedoniana niara-dia tamin'i Paoly, izy, dia niray saina niriotra ho ao an-trano filalaovana.

And the whole city was filled with confusion: and having caught Gaius and Aristarchus, men of Macedonia, Paul's companions in travel, they rushed with one accord into the theatre.

Ary raha te-hiditra ho any amin'ny olona Paoly, dia tsy navelan'ny mpianatra.

And when Paul would have entered in unto the people, the disciples suffered him not.

Ary ny lehibe sasany tany Asia, izay sakaizany, dia nampitondra teny nananatra azy mba tsy ho sahy hiditra ao an-trano filalaovana.

And certain of the chief of Asia, which were his friends, sent unto him, desiring him that he would not adventure himself into the theatre.

Ary ny sasany niantso zavatra iray, ary ny sasany kosa zavatra hafa; fa nihorikorika ny olona vory; koa ny ankamaroany tsy nahalala izay anton'ny niangonany teo.

Some therefore cried one thing, and some another: for the assembly was confused; and the more part knew not wherefore they were come together.

Ary nisy nisarika an'i Aleksandro avy teo amin'ny vahoaka, fa ny Jiosy nanesika azy handroso. Ary Aleksandro nanofa tanana, fa ta-handaha-teny hiala tsiny tamin'ny olona.

And they drew Alexander out of the multitude, the Jews putting him forward. And Alexander beckoned with the hand, and would have made his defence unto the people.

Fa rehefa fantatry ny olona fa Jiosy, izy dia niredona niantso tokony ho ora roa izy rehetra hoe: Lehibe Dianan'ny Efesiana!

But when they knew that he was a Jew, all with one voice about the space of two hours cried out, Great is Diana of the Ephesians.

Ary ny mpitahiry ny didy dia nampangina ny olona ka nanao hoe: Ry lehilahy Efesiana, iza no olona tsy mahalala fa ny tanànan'ny Efesiana no mpitahiry an'i Diana lehibe sy ny sarin-javatra izay latsaka avy tamin'i Jopitera?

And when the townclerk had appeased the people, he said, Ye men of Ephesus, what man is there that knoweth not how that the city of the Ephesians is a worshipper of the great goddess Diana, and of the image which fell down from Jupiter?

Ary satria tsy azo toherina izany, dia tokony hangina ianareo ka tsy hanao na inona na inona an-kamehana.

Seeing then that these things cannot be spoken against, ye ought to be quiet, and to do nothing rashly.

Fa nentinareo etỳ ireo lehilahy ireo, izay tsy nandroba tempoly, na niteny ratsy ny andriamanitsika.

For ye have brought hither these men, which are neither robbers of churches, nor yet blasphemers of your goddess.

Koa raha manan-teny hifamaliana amin'olona Demetrio sy ny mpanefy izay momba azy, aoka hifandahatra izy, fa misy ihany ny andro hitsarana, ary ao ihany koa ireo governora.

Wherefore if Demetrius, and the craftsmen which are with him, have a matter against any man, the law is open, and there are deputies: let them implead one another.

Fa raha mitady zavatra hafa kosa ianareo, dia hotsaraina amin'izay fivoriana voatendrin'ny lalàna.

But if ye enquire any thing concerning other matters, it shall be determined in a lawful assembly.

Fa andrao ampangaina isika noho ny tabataba tsy misy antony izay niseho androany, ka tsy hita izay hilazantsika izao fampitairana izao.

For we are in danger to be called in question for this day's uproar, there being no cause whereby we may give an account of this concourse.

Ary rehefa nilaza izany izy, dia nampirava ny olona vory teo.

And when he had thus spoken, he dismissed the assembly.
