¹But a certain man named Ananias, with Sapphira his wife, sold a possession,

¹[Ny amin'i Ananiasy sy Safira] Fa nisy kosa lehilahy atao hoe Ananiasy sy Safira vadiny nivarotra tany,

²And kept back part of the price, his wife also being privy to it, and brought a certain part, and laid it at the apostles' feet.

²ka nanafenany ho azy ny vola vidiny, ary ny vavy koa nahalala izany; dia nentiny ny vola sasany vidiny ka napetrany teo anoloan'ny tongotry ny Apostoly.

³But Peter said, Ananias, why hath Satan filled thine heart to lie to the Holy Ghost, and to keep back part of the price of the land?

³Ary hoy Petera: Ry Ananiasy, nahoana Satana no nameno ny fonao handainga amin'ny Fanahy Masina ka hanafina ny vola sasany vidin'ny tany?

⁴Whiles it remained, was it not thine own? and after it was sold, was it not in thine own power? why hast thou conceived this thing in thine heart? thou hast not lied unto men, but unto God.

⁴Fony tsy namidy, tsy anao ihany va izy? Ary rehefa namidy, tsy anao hanaovanao izay sitraponao koa va? Nahoana no nisaina izany tao am-ponao ianao? Tsy nandainga tamin'olona ianao, fa tamin'Andriamanitra.

⁵And Ananias hearing these words fell down, and gave up the ghost: and great fear came on all them that heard these things.

⁵Ary Ananiasy, nony nandre izany teny izany, dia nikarapoka, ka afaka ny ainy; dia raiki-tahotra loatra izay rehetra nandre izany.

⁶And the young men arose, wound him up, and carried him out, and buried him.

⁶Ary nitsangana ny zatovo, dia nofonosiny ny faty ka nentiny nivoaka, dia naleviny.

⁷And it was about the space of three hours after, when his wife, not knowing what was done, came in.

⁷Fa rehefa afaka tokony ho ora telo, dia niditra koa ny vavy, nefa tsy fantany izay efa nanjo teo.

⁸And Peter answered unto her, Tell me whether ye sold the land for so much? And she said, Yea, for so much.

⁸Ary hoy Petera taminy: Lazao amiko: Izany ihany va no vola vidin'ny taninareo? Dia hoy izy: Eny, izany ihany.

⁹Then Peter said unto her, How is it that ye have agreed together to tempt the Spirit of the Lord? behold, the feet of them which have buried thy husband are at the door, and shall carry thee out.

⁹Ary hoy Petera taminy: Nahoana ianareo no niray tetika haka fanahy ny Fanahin'ny Tompo? Indro, eo am-baravarana ny tongotr'izay nandevina ny vadinao, ary hitondra anao hivoaka koa izy.

¹⁰Then fell she down straightway at his feet, and yielded up the ghost: and the young men came in, and found her dead, and, carrying her forth, buried her by her husband.

¹⁰Dia nikarapoka teo anoloan'ny tongony niaraka tamin'izay koa izy, ka afaka ny ainy; ary raha niditra ny zatovo, dia hitany fa maty, ary nentiny nivoaka ka naleviny teo anilan'ny lahy.

¹¹And great fear came upon all the church, and upon as many as heard these things.

¹¹Dia raiki-tahotra indrindra ny fiangonana rehetra sy izay rehetra nandre izany.

¹²And by the hands of the apostles were many signs and wonders wrought among the people; (and they were all with one accord in Solomon's porch.

¹²[Ny fahagagana nataon'ny Apostoly sy ny nandrosoan'ny fiangonana] Ary ny tanan'ny Apostoly no nanaovana famantarana sy fahagagana maro teo amin'ny vahoaka; ary izy rehetra niray saina teo amin'ny Fialofan'i Solomona;

¹³And of the rest durst no man join himself to them: but the people magnified them.

¹³ary tsy nisy tamin'ny olona sisa rehetra sahy niray taminy; nefa nankalaza azy ny vahoaka.

¹⁴And believers were the more added to the Lord, multitudes both of men and women.)

¹⁴Ary vao mainka nisy olona maro koa na lahy na vavy izay nino ny Tompo nanampy ho isany;

¹⁵Insomuch that they brought forth the sick into the streets, and laid them on beds and couches, that at the least the shadow of Peter passing by might overshadow some of them.

¹⁵ka dia nentiny teny an-dalambe aza ny marary ka napetrany teny ambony farafara sy fandriana, mba hisy ho azon'ny tandindon'i Petera ahay, raha mandalo izy.

¹⁶There came also a multitude out of the cities round about unto Jerusalem, bringing sick folks, and them which were vexed with unclean spirits: and they were healed every one.

¹⁶Ary ny olona maro avy tamin'ny vohitra manodidina an'i Jerosalema dia nivory koa, nitondra ny marary sy izay nampahorin'ny fanahy maloto; dia sitrana avokoa izy rehetra.

¹⁷Then the high priest rose up, and all they that were with him, (which is the sect of the Sadducees,) and were filled with indignation,

¹⁷[Ny namatorana ny Apostoly rehetra, sy ny nitondrana azy teo anatrehan'ny Synedriona] Ary nitsangana ny mpisoronabe mbamin'ny namany rehetra (izay antokon'ny Sadoseo), fa feno fialonana izy,

¹⁸And laid their hands on the apostles, and put them in the common prison.

¹⁸dia nisambotra ny Apostoly izy ka nanao azy tao an-tranomaizina.

¹⁹But the angel of the Lord by night opened the prison doors, and brought them forth, and said,

¹⁹Fa nisy anjelin'ny Tompo namoha ny varavaran'ny tranomaizina nony alina, dia nitondra azy nivoaka ka nanao hoe:

²⁰Go, stand and speak in the temple to the people all the words of this life.

²⁰Mandehana, ka mitsangàna, ary mitoria amin'ny vahoaka eo an-kianjan'ny tempoly ny teny rehetra milaza izany fiainana izany.

²¹And when they heard that, they entered into the temple early in the morning, and taught. But the high priest came, and they that were with him, and called the council together, and all the senate of the children of Israel, and sent to the prison to have them brought.

²¹Ary rehefa nandre izany izy, dia niditra maraina koa teo an-kianjan'ny tempoly ka nampianatra. Ary rehefa tonga ny mpisoronabe sy ny namany, dia nampiangona ny Synedriona sy ny loholona rehetra tamin'ny Zanak'isiraely izy ka naniraka nankao amin'ny tranomaizina haka ny Apostoly.

²²But when the officers came, and found them not in the prison, they returned and told,

²²Fa nony tonga ny mpiandry raharaha, dia tsy nahita azy tao an-tranomaizina; dia niverina izy ka nilaza hoe:

²³Saying, The prison truly found we shut with all safety, and the keepers standing without before the doors: but when we had opened, we found no man within.

²³Ny tranomaizina dia hitanay mihidy tsara, ary ny mpiambina mitsangana eo am-baravarana; kanefa nony novohanay, dia tsy nahita olona tao izahay.

²⁴Now when the high priest and the captain of the temple and the chief priests heard these things, they doubted of them whereunto this would grow.

²⁴Ary ny lehiben'ny mpiambina ny tempoly sy ny lohan'ny mpisorona, rehefa nandre izany teny izany, dia niroahana ny amin'izay ho faran'izany.

²⁵Then came one and told them, saying, Behold, the men whom ye put in prison are standing in the temple, and teaching the people.

²⁵Dia nisy tonga ka nilaza taminy hoe: Ireny lehilahy izay nataonareo tao an-tranomaizina ireny, dia indreo izy mitsangana eo an-kianjan'ny tempoly ka mampianatra ny olona.

²⁶Then went the captain with the officers, and brought them without violence: for they feared the people, lest they should have been stoned.

²⁶Dia lasa ny lehiben'ny mpiambina sy ny mpiandry raharaha ka nitondra azy, nefa tsy nanao mahery, satria natahotra ny vahoaka izy, fandrao hotorahany vato.

²⁷And when they had brought them, they set them before the council: and the high priest asked them,

²⁷Ary rehefa nentiny, dia napetrany teo anatrehan'ny Synedriona ireo, ary ny mpisoronabe nanontany azy

²⁸Saying, Did not we straitly command you that ye should not teach in this name? and, behold, ye have filled Jerusalem with your doctrine, and intend to bring this man's blood upon us.

²⁸ka nanao hoe: Efa noraranay mafy dia mafy ianareo tsy hampianatra amin'izany anarana izany; kanjo, indro, efa nofenoinareo ny fampianaranareo Jerosalema, ka tianareo hankinina aminay ny ran'izany Lehilahy izany.

²⁹Then Peter and the other apostles answered and said, We ought to obey God rather than men.

²⁹Fa Petera sy ny Apostoly namaly ka nanao hoe: Andriamanitra no tokony hekena mihoatra noho ny olona.

³⁰The God of our fathers raised up Jesus, whom ye slew and hanged on a tree.

³⁰Andriamanitry ny razantsika efa nanangana an'i Jesosy, Izay novonoin'ny tananareo nahantonareo teo amin'ny hazo.

³¹Him hath God exalted with his right hand to be a Prince and a Saviour, for to give repentance to Israel, and forgiveness of sins.

³¹Izy nasandratry ny tanana ankavanan'Andriamanitra ho Tompo sy Mpamonjy, hanome fibebahana sy famelan-keloka ho an'ny Isiraely. [ Na: nasandratra ho eo an-tanana ankavanan'Andriamanitra]

³²And we are his witnesses of these things; and so is also the Holy Ghost, whom God hath given to them that obey him.

³²Ary izahay dia vavolombelon'izany zavatra izany, ary ny Fanahy Masina koa, Izay efa nomen'Andriamanitra ny manaiky Azy.

³³When they heard that, they were cut to the heart, and took counsel to slay them.

³³Ary raha nandre izany izy, dia lotika ny fony, ka nihendry hamono azy izy.

³⁴Then stood there up one in the council, a Pharisee, named Gamaliel, a doctor of the law, had in reputation among all the people, and commanded to put the apostles forth a little space;

³⁴Dia nitsangana teo amin'ny Synedriona ny Fariseo anankiray atao hoe Gamaliela, mpampiana-dalàna, izay nalaza teo amin'ny olona rehetra, ary nasainy navoaka kely ireo olona ireo.

³⁵And said unto them, Ye men of Israel, take heed to yourselves what ye intend to do as touching these men.

³⁵Dia hoy izy tamin'ny namany: Ry lehilahy Isiraely, tandremo tsara izay hataonareo amin'ireo olona ireo.

³⁶For before these days rose up Theudas, boasting himself to be somebody; to whom a number of men, about four hundred, joined themselves: who was slain; and all, as many as obeyed him, were scattered, and brought to nought.

³⁶Fa nitsangana fahiny Teodasy ka nanao ny tenany ho zavatra; tokony ho efa-jato no isan'ny lehilahy izay niandany taminy; fa novonoina izy ka nihahaka izay rehetra nanaiky azy ka tonga tsinontsinona.

³⁷After this man rose up Judas of Galilee in the days of the taxing, and drew away much people after him: he also perished; and all, even as many as obeyed him, were dispersed.

³⁷Ary nanarakaraka azy indray, tamin'ny andro nanoratana ny vahoaka, dia nitsangana Jodasy avy any Galilia; ary izy nitaona olona hikomy hanaraka azy; dia novonoina koa izy, ka nihahaka izay rehetra nanaiky azy.

³⁸And now I say unto you, Refrain from these men, and let them alone: for if this counsel or this work be of men, it will come to nought:

³⁸Ary ankehitriny dia lazaiko aminareo: Mandefera amin'ireo olona ireo, ka avelao ihany izy; fa raha avy amin'olona izao saina na asa izao, dia ho foana;

³⁹But if it be of God, ye cannot overthrow it; lest haply ye be found even to fight against God.

³⁹fa raha avy amin'Andriamanitra kosa izao, dia tsy ho azonareo foanana, sao dia miseho ho mpiady amin'Andriamanitra ianareo.

⁴⁰And to him they agreed: and when they had called the apostles, and beaten them, they commanded that they should not speak in the name of Jesus, and let them go.

⁴⁰Dia nanaiky azy izy; ary rehefa niantso ny Apostoly izy, dia nikapoka azy sady nandrara azy tsy hiteny amin'ny anaran'i Jesosy intsony, ary dia nandefa azy handeha.

⁴¹And they departed from the presence of the council, rejoicing that they were counted worthy to suffer shame for his name.

⁴¹Ary ireo dia niala teo anatrehan'ny Synedriona, sady faly, satria natao miendrika hitondra fahafaham-baraka ho voninahitr'izany anarana izany.Ary tsy nitsahatra nampianatra sy nitory an'i Jesosy ho Kristy isan'andro teo an-kianjan'ny tempoly sy tao an-trano izy.

⁴²And daily in the temple, and in every house, they ceased not to teach and preach Jesus Christ.

⁴²Ary tsy nitsahatra nampianatra sy nitory an'i Jesosy ho Kristy isan'andro teo an-kianjan'ny tempoly sy tao an-trano izy.
