Acts 9
1 And Saul was still full of threats and deadly hatred against the disciples of our Lord.
Ary Saoly mbola nifofofofo fandrahonana sy famonoana tamin’ ny mpianatry ny Tompo ihany, dia nankao amin’ ny mpisoronabe izy
2 And he requested that a letter from the high priest might be given him unto Damascus to the synagogues; that if he should find persons pursuing this course, men or women, he might bind and bring them to Jerusalem.
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.
3 And as he was going, and began to approach Damascus, suddenly there was poured upon him a light from heaven.
Ary raha nandeha izy, dia tonga teo akaikin’ i Damaskosy; ary nisy mazava avy tany an-danitra nanelatretatra tampoka manodidina azy;
4 And he fell to the ground; and he heard a voice which said to him: Saul! Saul! why persecutest thou me? It will be hard for thee to kick against the goads.
dia lavo tamin’ ny tany izy ka nandre feo nanao taminy hoe: Saoly, Saoly, nahoana ianao no manenjika Ahy?
5 He replied, and said: Who art thou, my Lord? And our Lord said: I am Jesus the Nazarean, whom thou persecutest.
Ary hoy izy: Iza moa ianao, Tompoko? Dia hoy Izy: Izaho no Jesosy Izay enjehinao;
6 But arise and go into the city, and there it will be told thee what thou oughtest to do.
fa mitsangàna, ka mankanesa ho any an-tanàna, dia holazaina aminao izay mety hataonao.
7 And the men who travelled with him in the way, stood amazed; for they heard merely the voice, and no one was visible to them.
Ary ny olona izay nomba azy tamin’ ny nalehany dia nitsangana tsy nahateny, ary nandre ny feo izy, nefa tsy nahita olona.
8 And Saul arose from the ground; and nothing was visible to him, with his eyes opened. And they took him by the hand, and led him into Damascus.
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.
9 And he had no sight for three days; and he neither ate nor drank.
Ary tsy nahita izy hateloana sady tsy nihinana na nisotro.
10 And there was in Damascus a certain disciple, whose name was Ananias. And the Lord said to him, in a vision: Ananias! And he said: Lo, I am here, my Lord.
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.
11 And our Lord said to him: Arise, go to the street which is called Straight; and inquire in the house of Judas, for Saul who is from the city of Tarsus: for, lo, while he prayed,
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;
12 he saw in vision a man named Ananias, who came and laid his hand upon him, that his eyes might be opened.
ary izy efa nahita lehilahy atao hoe Ananiasy niditra ka nametra-tanana taminy, mba hahiratra indray ny masony.
13 And Ananias said: My Lord, I have heard of this man, from many, how much evil he hath perpetrated towards thy saints at Jerusalem.
Ary Ananiasy namaly hoe: Tompoko, efa reko tamin’ ny maro ny haben’ ny ratsy nataon’ izany lehilahy izany tamin’ ny olonao masìna tany Jerosalema.
14 And, lo, here also, he hath authority from the chief priests, to bind all them that call on thy name.
Ary manana fahefanay koa avy tamin’ ny mpisoronabe izy hamatotra izay rehetra miantso ny anaranao.
15 The Lord said to him: Arise and go; for he is to me a chosen vessel, to carry my name to the Gentiles, and to kings, and among the sons of Israel.
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;
16 For I will show him, how much he is to suffer on account of my name.
fa hasehoko azy ny habetsahan’ izay tsy maintsy hiaretany ho voninahitry ny anarako.
17 Then Ananias went to the house to him; and he laid his hand upon him, and said to him: Saul, my brother, our Lord Jesus, he who appeared to thee by the way as thou camest, hath sent me, that thy eyes might be opened, and thou be filled with the Holy Spirit.
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 Masìna ianao.
18 And immediately there fell from his eyes something like a scab; and his eyes were opened. And he arose and was baptized.
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;
19 And he took food, and was invigorated. And he was some days with the disciples of Damascus.
ary nihinan-kanina izy ka dia natanjaka. Ary Saoly nitoetra andro vitsivitsy teo amin’ ny mpianatra tany Damaskosy.
20 And forthwith he announced Jesus, in the synagogues of the Jews, that he is the Son of God.
Ary niaraka tamin’ izay dia nitory teo amin’ ny synagoga izy ka nilaza an’ i Jesosy fa Zanak’ Andriamanitra.
21 And all they that heard him were amazed; and they said: Is not this he, who persecuted all them that call on this name in Jerusalem? And lo, for this very thing also, was he sent hither, that he might bind and carry them to the chief priests.
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.
22 But Saul was the more strengthened; and he confounded those Jews who dwelt at Damascus, while be demonstrated that this is the Messiah.
Ary Saoly mainka nihahery, dia nandresy lahatra ny Jiosy izay nonina tany Damaskosy ka naneho marimarina fa Jesosy no Kristy.
23 And when he had been there many days, the Jews formed a conspiracy against him, to kill him.
Ary rehefa afaka andro maromaro, dia nihendry hamono azy ny Jiosy;
24 And the plot which they sought to execute upon him, was made known to Saul: and they watched the gates of the city by day and by night, in order to kill him.
nefa fantatr’ i Saoly ny fihendreny. Ary izy ireo niambina ny vavahady andro aman’ alina hamonoany azy.
25 Then the disciples placed him in a basket, and let him down from the wall by night.
Fa ny mpianany naka azy nony alina ka nampidina azy tamin’ ny sobiky avy eo amin’ ny mànda.
26 And he went to Jerusalem; and he wished to join himself with the disciples, but they were all afraid of him, and did not believe that he was a disciple.
Ary rehefa tonga tany Jerosalema Saoly, dia nitady hiray tamin’ ny mpianatra; fa izy rehetra natahotra azy ka tsy nino azy ho mpianatra.
27 But Barnabas took him, and brought him to the legates, and related to them how the Lord appeared to him in the way, and how he conversed with him; and how, in Damascus, he had discoursed openly in the name of Jesus.
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.
28 And he went in and out with them, at Jerusalem.
Ary izy niara-niditra sy nivoaka tamin’ ireo tany Jerosalema,
29 And he spoke openly in the name of Jesus and disputed with those Jews who understood Greek. But they wished to kill him:
sady nitory tamin’ ny anaran’ ny Tompo tamin’ ny fahasahiana ary niresaka sy niady hevitra tamin’ ny Helenista; fa ireny nitady hahafaty azy.
30 and when the brethren knew it, they conducted him by night to Caesarea, and from there they sent him to Tarsus.
Ary rehefa fantatry ny rahalahy izany, dia nentiny nidina nankany Kaisaria izy ka nampandehaniny ho any Tarsosy.
31 Moreover the church, in all Judaea, and in Galilee, and in Samaria, had peace and was edified; and it walked in the fear of God, and abounded in the consolation of the Holy Spirit.
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.
32 And it occurred, that, as Simon travelled about the cities, he came down to the saints also who dwelt in the city of Lydda.
Ary raha nandeha nitety ny tany rehetra Petera, dia nidina ho any amin’ ny olona masìna nonina tany Lyda koa.
33 And he found a certain man whose name was 'neas, who had lain on a bed and been paralytic eight years.
Ary izy nahita lehilahy anankiray teo, atao hoe Enea, izay efa nandry valo taona teo am-parafara, fa mararin’ ny paralysisa.
34 And Simon said to him: 'neas, Jesus the Messiah doth heal thee; arise, and spread thy bed. And he rose up immediately.
Ary hoy Petera taminy: Ry Enea, manasitrana anao Jesosy Kristy; mitsangàna, ka amboary ny fandrianao. Dia nitsangana niaraka tamin’ izay izy.
35 And all they that dwelt at Lydda and Saron, saw him; and they turned to God.
Ary nahita azy izay rehetra nonina tany Lyda sy Sarôna, ka dia niverina ho amin’ ny Tompo.
36 And there was in the city of Joppa, a certain female disciple named Tabitha; and she was rich in good works, and in the alms which she did.
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.
37 And she fell sick in those days, and died; and they washed her, and laid her in an upper room.
Ary narary izy tamin’ izany andro izany, ka dia maty; ary rehefa nampandroiny ny faty, dia napetrany tao an-trano ambony.
38 And the disciples heard that Simon was in the city of Lydda, which is near to Joppa; and they sent two men to him, to request of him that he would not delay to come to them.
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.
39 And Simon arose and went with them. And when he arrived, they conducted him to the chamber; and there were assembled around her all the widows, weeping, and showing him the tunics and the cloaks which Tabitha had given them when alive.
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.
40 And Simon put all the people out, and fell on his knees and prayed; and he turned to the corpse and said: Tabitha, arise. And she opened her eyes; and when she saw Simon, she sat up.
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.
41 And he reached to her his hand, and raised her up: and he called the saints and the widows, and presented her to them alive.
Ary Petera nanolo-tanana azy ka nanangana azy; ary rehefa niantso ny olona masìna sy ny mpitondratena izy, dia nanolotra azy velona.
42 And this became known throughout the city; and many believed on our Lord.
Ary dia fantatra eran’ i Jopa izany, ka maro no nino ny Tompo.
43 And he tarried in Joppa not a few days: and he lodged in the house of Simon a tanner.
Ary Petera nitoetra andro maromaro tany Jopa tao amin’ i Simona mpandon-koditra.
