Acts 9

Ary Saoly mbola nifofofofo fandrahonana sy famonoana tamin'ny mpianatry ny Tompo ihany, dia nankao amin'ny mpisoronabe izy

And Saul, yet breathing out threatenings and slaughter against the disciples of the Lord, went unto the high priest,

ka nangataka taratasy taminy ho any amin'ny synagoga any Damaskosy, mba ho entiny mifatotra ho any Jerosalema izay rehetra hitany momba izany fampianarana izany, na lahy na vavy.

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.

Ary raha nandeha izy, dia tonga teo akaikin'i Damaskosy; ary nisy mazava avy tany an-danitra nanelatretatra tampoka manodidina azy;

And as he journeyed, he came near Damascus: and suddenly there shined round about him a light from heaven:

dia lavo tamin'ny tany izy ka nandre feo nanao taminy hoe: Saoly, Saoly, nahoana ianao no manenjika Ahy?

And he fell to the earth, and heard a voice saying unto him, Saul, Saul, why persecutest thou me?

Ary hoy izy: Iza moa ianao, Tompoko? Dia hoy Izy: Izaho no Jesosy Izay enjehinao;

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.

fa mitsangàna, ka mankanesa ho any an-tanàna, dia holazaina aminao izay mety hataonao.

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.

Ary ny olona izay nomba azy tamin'ny nalehany dia nitsangana tsy nahateny, ary nandre ny feo izy, nefa tsy nahita olona.

And the men which journeyed with him stood speechless, hearing a voice, but seeing no man.

Ary Saoly nitsangana tamin'ny tany, ary rehefa nahirany ny masony, dia tsy nahita na inona na inona izy; ary ireo nitantana azy ka nitondra azy ho any Damaskosy.

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.

Ary tsy nahita izy hateloana sady tsy nihinana na nisotro.

And he was three days without sight, and neither did eat nor drink.

Ary nisy mpianatra anankiray tany Damaskosy, atao hoe Ananiasy; ary hoy ny Tompo taminy tamin'ny fahitana: Ry Ananiasy. Dia hoy izy: Inty aho, Tompoko.

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.

Ary hoy ny Tompo taminy: Mitsangàna, ka mandehana any amin'ny lalana atao hoe Imahitsy, ka izahao ao an-tranon'i Jodasy izay lehilahy atao hoe Saoly avy any Tarsosy; fa, indro, efa mivavaka izy;

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,

ary izy efa nahita lehilahy atao hoe Ananiasy niditra ka nametra-tanana taminy, mba hahiratra indray ny masony.

And hath seen in a vision a man named Ananias coming in, and putting his hand on him, that he might receive his sight.

Ary Ananiasy namaly hoe: Tompoko, efa reko tamin'ny maro ny haben'ny ratsy nataon'izany lehilahy izany tamin'ny olonao masina tany Jerosalema.

Then Ananias answered, Lord, I have heard by many of this man, how much evil he hath done to thy saints at Jerusalem:

Ary manana fahefanay koa avy tamin'ny mpisoronabe izy hamatotra izay rehetra miantso ny anaranao.

And here he hath authority from the chief priests to bind all that call on thy name.

Fa hoy ny Tompo taminy: Mandehana, fa fanaka voafidy izy ho fitondrana ny anarako eo anatrehan'ny jentilisa sy ny mpanjaka ary ny Zanak'isiraely;

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:

fa hasehoko azy ny habetsahan'izay tsy maintsy hiaretany ho voninahitry ny anarako.

For I will shew him how great things he must suffer for my name's sake.

Ary nandeha Ananiasy ka niditra tao an-trano, dia nametra-tanana taminy ka nanao hoe Ry Saoly rahalahy, ny Tompo, dia Jesosy Izay niseho taminao teo amin'ny lalana nalehanao, no efa naniraka ahy, mba hahiratan'ny masonao, ary mba ho feno ny Fanahy Masina ianao.

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.

Ary niaraka tamin'izay dia nisy zavatra toy ny kiran'ny hazandrano niala avy tamin'ny masony, dia nahiratra izy ka nitsangana, dia natao batisa;

And immediately there fell from his eyes as it had been scales: and he received sight forthwith, and arose, and was baptized.

ary nihinan-kanina izy ka dia natanjaka. Ary Saoly nitoetra andro vitsivitsy teo amin'ny mpianatra tany Damaskosy.

And when he had received meat, he was strengthened. Then was Saul certain days with the disciples which were at Damascus.

Ary niaraka tamin'izay dia nitory teo amin'ny synagoga izy ka nilaza an'i Jesosy fa Zanak'Andriamanitra.

And straightway he preached Christ in the synagogues, that he is the Son of God.

Ary talanjona izay rehetra nandre ka nanao hoe: Tsy ity va ilay nandringana izay niantso izany anarana izany tany Jerosalema? ary tongay koa izy mba hitondra azy mifatotra ho any amin'ny mpisoronabe.

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?

Ary Saoly mainka nihahery, dia nandresy lahatra ny Jiosy izay nonina tany Damaskosy ka naneho marimarina fa Jesosy no Kristy.

But Saul increased the more in strength, and confounded the Jews which dwelt at Damascus, proving that this is very Christ.

Ary rehefa afaka andro maromaro, dia nihendry hamono azy ny Jiosy;

And after that many days were fulfilled, the Jews took counsel to kill him:

nefa fantatr'i Saoly ny fihendreny. Ary izy ireo niambina ny vavahady andro aman'alina hamonoany azy.

But their laying await was known of Saul. And they watched the gates day and night to kill him.

Fa ny mpianany naka azy nony alina ka nampidina azy tamin'ny sobiky avy eo amin'ny mànda.

Then the disciples took him by night, and let him down by the wall in a basket.

Ary rehefa tonga tany Jerosalema Saoly, dia nitady hiray tamin'ny mpianatra; fa izy rehetra natahotra azy ka tsy nino azy ho mpianatra.

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.

Fa Barnabasy naka azy ka nitondra azy ho any amin'ny Apostoly, dia nanambara taminy ny nahitany ny Tompo sy ny nitenenany taminy teny an-dalana ary ny fahasahiany nitory ny anaran'i Jesosy tany Damaskosy.

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.

Ary izy niara-niditra sy nivoaka tamin'ireo tany Jerosalema,

And he was with them coming in and going out at Jerusalem.

sady nitory tamin'ny anaran'ny Tompo tamin'ny fahasahiana ary niresaka sy niady hevitra tamin'ny Helenista; fa ireny nitady hahafaty azy.

And he spake boldly in the name of the Lord Jesus, and disputed against the Grecians: but they went about to slay him.

Ary rehefa fantatry ny rahalahy izany, dia nentiny nidina nankany Kaisaria izy ka nampandehaniny ho any Tarsosy.

Which when the brethren knew, they brought him down to Cæsarea, and sent him forth to Tarsus.

Dia nanam-piadanana ny fiangonana eran'i Jodia sy Galilia ary Samaria rehetra, sady nandroso tsara sy nandeha tamin'ny fahatahorana ny Tompo sy ny famporisihan'ny Fanahy ka nihamaro.

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.

Ary raha nandeha nitety ny tany rehetra Petera, dia nidina ho any amin'ny olona masina nonina tany Lyda koa.

And it came to pass, as Peter passed throughout all quarters, he came down also to the saints which dwelt at Lydda.

Ary izy nahita lehilahy anankiray teo, atao hoe Enea, izay efa nandry valo taona teo am-parafara, fa mararin'ny paralysisa.

And there he found a certain man named Æneas, which had kept his bed eight years, and was sick of the palsy.

Ary hoy Petera taminy: Ry Enea, manasitrana anao Jesosy Kristy; mitsangàna, ka amboary ny fandrianao. Dia nitsangana niaraka tamin'izay izy.

And Peter said unto him, Æneas, Jesus Christ maketh thee whole: arise, and make thy bed. And he arose immediately.

Ary nahita azy izay rehetra nonina tany Lyda sy Sarôna, ka dia niverina ho amin'ny Tompo.

And all that dwelt at Lydda and Saron saw him, and turned to the Lord.

Ary tany Jopa nisy vehivavy mpianatra atao hoe Tabita, izany hoe, raha adika, Dorkasy; ary be ny asa soa sy ny fiantrana izay nataon'izany vehivavy izany.

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.

Ary narary izy tamin'izany andro izany, ka dia maty; ary rehefa nampandroiny ny faty, dia napetrany tao an-trano ambony.

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.

Ary satria Lyda akaikin'i Jopa, ary ny mpianatra nandre fa efa tonga ao Petera, dia naniraka roa lahy izy hangataka azy hoe: Aza misalasala hankatỳ aminay.

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.

Dia nitsangana Petera ka nandeha niaraka taminy. Ary nony tonga izy, dia nentiny tany an-trano ambony; ary ny mpitondratena rehetra nitsangana teo anilany ka nitomany sady nampiseho ny akanjo sy lamba izay nozairin'i Dorkasy fony fahavelony.

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.

Ary navoak'i Petera avokoa izy rehetra, dia nandohalika izy ka nivavaka; ary nitodika nanatrika ny faty izy ka nanao hoe: Ry Tabita, mitsangàna. Dia nahirany ny masony; ary raha nahita an'i Petera izy, dia niarina.

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.

Ary Petera nanolo-tanana azy ka nanangana azy; ary rehefa niantso ny olona masina sy ny mpitondratena izy, dia nanolotra azy velona.

And he gave her his hand, and lifted her up, and when he had called the saints and widows, presented her alive.

Ary dia fantatra eran'i Jopa izany, ka maro no nino ny Tompo.

And it was known throughout all Joppa; and many believed in the Lord.

Ary Petera nitoetra andro maromaro tany Jopa tao amin'i Simona mpandon-koditra.

And it came to pass, that he tarried many days in Joppa with one Simon a tanner.
