¹And certain men which came down from Judaea taught the brethren, and said, Except ye be circumcised after the manner of Moses, ye cannot be saved.

¹[Ny nifandiran'ny sasany ny amin'ny famorana, sy ny nataon'ny Apostoly sy ny loholona tany Jerosalema tamin'izany] Ary ny olona sasany izay nidina avy tany Jodia nampianatra ny rahalahy hoe: Raha tsy forana araka ny fanaon'i Mosesy ianareo, dia tsy azo vonjena.

²When therefore Paul and Barnabas had no small dissension and disputation with them, they determined that Paul and Barnabas, and certain other of them, should go up to Jerusalem unto the apostles and elders about this question.

²Ary rehefa nifanditra sy niady hevitra be ihany tamin'ireo Paoly sy Barnabasy, dia nifanarahana ny hiakaran'izy roa lahy sy ny sasany koa hankany Jerosalema ho any amin'ny Apostoly sy ny loholona hanadina izany teny niadian-kevitra izany. [ Gr. presbytera]

³And being brought on their way by the church, they passed through Phenice and Samaria, declaring the conversion of the Gentiles: and they caused great joy unto all the brethren.

³Ary rehefa nanatitra azy ny fiangonana, dia nandeha namaky an'i Foinika sy Samaria izy ka nilaza ny niovan'ny jentilisa; dia nampifaly ny rahalahy rehetra indrindra izy.

⁴And when they were come to Jerusalem, they were received of the church, and of the apostles and elders, and they declared all things that God had done with them.

⁴Ary rehefa tonga tany Jerosalema izy, dia noraisin'ny fiangonana sy ny Apostoly ary ny loholona, ka dia nilaza izay rehetra efa nataon'Andriamanitra tamin'ny nombany azy. [ Gr. presbytera]

⁵But there rose up certain of the sect of the Pharisees which believed, saying, That it was needful to circumcise them, and to command them to keep the law of Moses.

⁵Fa ny mino sasany, izay isan'ny antokon'ny Fariseo kosa, dia nitsangana ka nanao hoe: Tsy maintsy forana ireny ka asaina mitandrina ny lalàn'i Mosesy.

⁶And the apostles and elders came together for to consider of this matter.

⁶Ary dia nivory ny Apostoly sy ny loholona mba hihevitra izany zavatra izany. [ Gr. presbytera]

⁷And when there had been much disputing, Peter rose up, and said unto them, Men and brethren, ye know how that a good while ago God made choice among us, that the Gentiles by my mouth should hear the word of the gospel, and believe.

⁷Ary rehefa nisy ady hevitra be ihany, dia nitsangana Petera ka nanao taminy hoe: Ry rahalahy, fantatrareo fa hatramin'ny ela Andriamanitra dia efa nifidy teo aminareo fa amin'ny vavako no handrenesan'ny jentilisa ny tenin'ny filazantsara ka hinoany.

⁸And God, which knoweth the hearts, bare them witness, giving them the Holy Ghost, even as he did unto us;

⁸Ary Andriamanitra, Izay mahalala ny fo, dia vavolombelony tamin'ny nanomezany azy ny Fanahy Masina tahaka antsika koa;

⁹And put no difference between us and them, purifying their hearts by faith.

⁹fa tsy nataony misy hafa isika sy izy, fa nodioviny tamin'ny finoana ny fony.

¹⁰Now therefore why tempt ye God, to put a yoke upon the neck of the disciples, which neither our fathers nor we were able to bear?

¹⁰Koa nahoana ianareo no maka fanahy an'Andriamanitra amin'ny fametrahanareo zioga amin'ny vozon'ny mpianatra, izay tsy zakan'ny razantsika na isika ho entina?

¹¹But we believe that through the grace of the LORD Jesus Christ we shall be saved, even as they.

¹¹Fa mino isika fa ny fahasoavan'i Jesosy Tompo no hamonjena antsika, dia tahaka ny azy ihany koa.

¹²Then all the multitude kept silence, and gave audience to Barnabas and Paul, declaring what miracles and wonders God had wrought among the Gentiles by them.

¹²Dia nangina ny olona rehetra ka nihaino an'i Barnabasy sy Paoly, izay nilaza ny famantarana sy ny fahagagana nampanaovin'Andriamanitra azy tany amin'ny jentilisa.

¹³And after they had held their peace, James answered, saying, Men and brethren, hearken unto me:

¹³Ary rehefa nitsahatra tsy niteny izy roa lahy, dia namaly Jakoba ka nanao hoe: Ry rahalahy, mihainoa ahy:

¹⁴Simeon hath declared how God at the first did visit the Gentiles, to take out of them a people for his name.

¹⁴Simeona efa nanambara izay nitsinjovan'Andriamanitra ny jentilisa tamin'ny voalohany hanalany olona aminy hankalazana ny anarany.

¹⁵And to this agree the words of the prophets; as it is written,

¹⁵Ary mifanaraka amin'izany ny tenin'ny mpaminany, araka ny voasoratra hoe:

¹⁶After this I will return, and will build again the tabernacle of David, which is fallen down; and I will build again the ruins thereof, and I will set it up:

¹⁶Rehefa afaka izany, dia hiverina Aho Ka hanangana ny trano-lain'i Davida izay efa nianjera; Ary hanangana izay efa rava ao Aho Ka hanamboatra azy indray;

¹⁷That the residue of men might seek after the Lord, and all the Gentiles, upon whom my name is called, saith the Lord, who doeth all these things.

¹⁷Mba hitady ny Tompo ny olona sisa sy ny jentilisa rehetra, Izay efa niantsoana ny anarako, hoy Jehovah,

¹⁸Known unto God are all his works from the beginning of the world.

¹⁸Izay manao izany zavatra fantatra hatramin'ny voalohany indrindra izany (Amo. 9. 11, 12).

¹⁹Wherefore my sentence is, that we trouble not them, which from among the Gentiles are turned to God:

¹⁹Koa dia izao no hevitro: Tsy mety raha isika manome fahasahiranana ny avy amin'ny jentilisa izay miverina ho amin'Andriamanitra;

²⁰But that we write unto them, that they abstain from pollutions of idols, and from fornication, and from things strangled, and from blood.

²⁰fa aoka hanoratra epistily aminy isika mba hifadiany ny hena fahavetavetana aterina amin'ny sampy sy ny fijangajangana ary ny zavatra kendaina sy ny rà.

²¹For Moses of old time hath in every city them that preach him, being read in the synagogues every sabbath day.

²¹Fa hatramin'ny razana fahiny dia manana izay mitory azy ao amin'ny isan-tanàna Mosesy, fa vakina ao amin'ny synagoga rehetra isan-tSabata ny teniny.

²²Then pleased it the apostles and elders with the whole church, to send chosen men of their own company to Antioch with Paul and Barnabas; namely, Judas surnamed Barsabas and Silas, chief men among the brethren:

²²Ary sitraky ny Apostoly sy ny loholona mbamin'ny fiangonana rehetra ny hifidy olona amin'ny namany mba hirahina hiaraka amin'i Paoly sy Barnabasy hankany Antiokia, dia Joda, izay atao hoe Barnabasy, sy Silasy, izay lehilahy samy tsara laza eo amin'ny rahalahy; [ Gr. presbytera]

²³And they wrote letters by them after this manner; The apostles and elders and brethren send greeting unto the brethren which are of the Gentiles in Antioch and Syria and Cilicia.

²³ary nanoratra taratasy izy ho entin'ireo, dia izao: Ny Apostoly sy ny rahalahy loholona miarahaba ny rahalahy avy amin'ny jentilisa izay any Antiokia sy Syria ary Kilikia. [ Gr. presbytera]

²⁴Forasmuch as we have heard, that certain which went out from us have troubled you with words, subverting your souls, saying, Ye must be circumcised, and keep the law: to whom we gave no such commandment:

²⁴Satria efa renay fa ny sasany izay avy tany aminay efa nanao teny nampitabataba anareo ka namadika ny sainareo, kanefa tsy nasainay nanao izany izy,

²⁵It seemed good unto us, being assembled with one accord, to send chosen men unto you with our beloved Barnabas and Paul,

²⁵dia sitrakay, rehefa nifanara-kevitra, ny hifidy olona hirahina hankatỳ aminareo hiaraka amin'i Barnabasy sy Paoly malalanay,

²⁶Men that have hazarded their lives for the name of our Lord Jesus Christ.

²⁶lehilahy izay nanao ny ainy tsy ho zavatra ho voninahitry ny anaran'i Jesosy Kristy Tompontsika.

²⁷We have sent therefore Judas and Silas, who shall also tell you the same things by mouth.

²⁷Dia nirahinay Joda sy Silasy, sady hilaza vava izany teny izany koa izy.

²⁸For it seemed good to the Holy Ghost, and to us, to lay upon you no greater burden than these necessary things;

²⁸Fa sitraky ny Fanahy Masina sy izahay tsy hampitondra enta-mavesatra anareo afa-tsy izao zavatra tsy maintsy hotandremana izao ihany:

²⁹That ye abstain from meats offered to idols, and from blood, and from things strangled, and from fornication: from which if ye keep yourselves, ye shall do well. Fare ye well.

²⁹dia ny hifadianareo ny hena aterina amin'ny sampy sy ny rà sy ny zavatra kendaina ary ny fijangajangana; raha mahatandrin-tena hifady izany ianareo, dia ho soa. Veloma ianareo.

³⁰So when they were dismissed, they came to Antioch: and when they had gathered the multitude together, they delivered the epistle:

³⁰Ary rehefa nalefany izy ireo, dia nidina nankany Antiokia; ary namory ny olona maro izy, dia natolony ilay epistily.

³¹Which when they had read, they rejoiced for the consolation.

³¹Ary nony efa namaky izany ny olona, dia nifaly noho ny anatra tsara.

³²And Judas and Silas, being prophets also themselves, exhorted the brethren with many words, and confirmed them.

³²Ary satria mpaminany Joda sy Silasy, dia namporisika ny rahalahy tamin'ny teny maro izy ka nampahery azy.

³³And after they had tarried there a space, they were let go in peace from the brethren unto the apostles.

³³Ary rehefa nitoetra elaela teo izy ireo, dia nampandehanin'ny rahalahy soa aman-tsara ho any amin'izay naniraka azy.

³⁴Notwithstanding it pleased Silas to abide there still.

³⁴[ Ampio hoe: 34 Nefa mbola sitrak'i Silasy ny hitoetra ao]

³⁵Paul also and Barnabas continued in Antioch, teaching and preaching the word of the Lord, with many others also.

³⁵Ary Paoly sy Barnabasy kosa nitoetra tany Antiokia; dia nampianatra sy nitory ny tenin'ny Tompo izy roa lahy mbamin'ny maro koa.

³⁶And some days after Paul said unto Barnabas, Let us go again and visit our brethren in every city where we have preached the word of the LORD, and see how they do.

³⁶[Ny niaingan'i Paoly fanindroany hitety vohitra tany Asia Minora] Ary rehefa afaka andro vitsivitsy, dia hoy Paoly tamin'i Barnabasy: Andeha isika hiverina hamangy ny rahalahy any amin'ny tanàna rehetra izay efa nitoriantsika ny tenin'ny Tompo, hahitantsika izay toetrany.

³⁷And Barnabas determined to take with them John, whose surname was Mark.

³⁷Ary tian'i Barnabasy ny hitondra an'i Jaona, izay atao hoe Marka, hiaraka aminy.

³⁸But Paul thought not good to take him with them, who departed from them from Pamphylia, and went not with them to the work.

³⁸Nefa nataon'i Paoly fa tsy tokony ho entiny miaraka aminy izy, satria nandao azy tany Pamfylia ka tsy niaraka taminy ho any amin'ny raharaha.

³⁹And the contention was so sharp between them, that they departed asunder one from the other: and so Barnabas took Mark, and sailed unto Cyprus;

³⁹Ary nifanditra mafy izy roa lahy ka nisaraka; ary Barnabasy nitondra an'i Marka, dia niondrana an-tsambo nankany Kyprosy.

⁴⁰And Paul chose Silas, and departed, being recommended by the brethren unto the grace of God.

⁴⁰Fa Paoly kosa nifidy an'i Silasy, dia niainga, rehefa natolotry ny rahalahy ho amin'ny fahasoavan'ny Tompo izy.Dia nandeha namaky an'i Syria sy Kilikia izy nampahery ny fiangonana tany.

⁴¹And he went through Syria and Cilicia, confirming the churches.

⁴¹Dia nandeha namaky an'i Syria sy Kilikia izy nampahery ny fiangonana tany.
