¹And the apostles and the brethren who were in Judaea heard that the nations also had received the word of God;

¹[Ny namalian'i Petera ny olona izay nanome tsiny azy] Ary ny Apostoly sy ny rahalahy izay tany Jodia dia nahare fa ny jentilisa koa efa nandray ny tenin'Andriamanitra.

²and when Peter went up to Jerusalem, they of the circumcision contended with him,

²Ary nony tafakatra tany Jerosalema Petera, dia nila ady taminy ny mino izay isan'ny voafora

³saying, Thou wentest in to men uncircumcised and hast eaten with them.

³ka nanao hoe: Efa niantrano tany amin'ny olona tsy voafora ianao sady niara-nihinana taminy.

⁴But Peter began and set forth [the matter] to them in order, saying,

⁴Ary Petera dia nitantara izany taminy hatramin'ny niandohany ka nanao hoe:

⁵I was in the city of Joppa praying, and in an ecstasy I saw a vision, a certain vessel descending like a great sheet, let down by four corners out of heaven, and it came even to me:

⁵Tany an-tanàna Jopa aho ka nivavaka, ary azon-tsindrimandry aho, dia nahita fahitana, ka, indro, nisy zavatra nidina avy tany an-danitra toa lamba lehibe nampidinina tamin'ny zorony efatra, dia nankeo amiko izany;

⁶on which having fixed mine eyes, I considered, and saw the quadrupeds of the earth, and the wild beasts, and the creeping things, and the fowls of the heaven.

⁶ary raha nijery sy nandinika azy aho, dia hitako ny biby etỳ an-tany, izay manan-tongotra efatra, sy ny bibi-dia sy ny zava-mandady sy mikisaka ary ny voro-manidina koa.

⁷And I heard also a voice saying to me, Rise up, Peter, slay and eat.

⁷Ary nandre feo koa aho nanao tamiko hoe: Mitsangàna, ry Petera, vonoy, ka hano.

⁸And I said, In no wise, Lord, for common or unclean has never entered into my mouth.

⁸Fa hoy izaho: Sanatria, Tompoko! fa tsy mbola niditra tamin'ny vavako izay zava-padina na tsy madio.

⁹And a voice answered the second time out of heaven, What God has cleansed, do not *thou* make common.

⁹Ary nisy feo avy tany an-danitra namaly fanindroany hoe: Izay efa nodiovin'Andriamanitra aza ataonao ho fady.

¹⁰And this took place thrice, and again all was drawn up into heaven;

¹⁰Ary intelo no nanaovana izany, dia nosarihana niakatra tany an-danitra indray izany rehetra izany.

¹¹and lo, immediately three men were at the house in which I was, sent to me from Caesarea.

¹¹Ary tamin'izay dia, Indreo, nisy telo lahy nijanona teo anoloan'ny trano nitoeranay, izay iraka avy tany Kaisaria hankeo amiko.

¹²And the Spirit said to me to go with them, nothing doubting. And there went with me these six brethren also, and we entered into the house of the man,

¹²Dia nasain'ny Fanahy hiaraka tamin'ireo aho ka tsy hizaha tavan'olona na dia kely akory aza. Ary niaraka tamiko koa ireto rahalahy enina ireto, ka niditra tao an-tranon-dralehilahy izahay.

¹³and he related to us how he had seen the angel in his house, standing and saying [to him], Send [men] to Joppa and fetch Simon, who is surnamed Peter,

¹³Ary nambarany taminay ny nahitany ny anjely nitsangana tao an-tranony ka nanao hoe: Maniraha ho any Jopa, ka ampanalao Simona, izay atao hoe koa Petera;

¹⁴who shall speak words to thee whereby *thou* shalt be saved, thou and all thy house.

¹⁴izy hilaza teny aminao, izay hamonjena anao sy ny ankohonanao rehetra.

¹⁵And as I began to speak, the Holy Spirit fell upon them even as upon us also at the beginning.

¹⁵Ary raha vao niteny aho, dia nilatsaka taminy ny Fanahy Masina tahaka ny tamintsika fahiny.

¹⁶And I remembered the word of the Lord, how he said, John baptised with water, but *ye* shall be baptised with [the] Holy Spirit.

¹⁶Dia nahatsiaro ny tenin'ny Tompo aho, izay nolazainy hoe: Jaona nanao batisa tamin'ny rano, fa ianareo kosa dia hatao batisa amin'ny Fanahy Masina.

¹⁷If then God has given them the same gift as also to us when we had believed on the Lord Jesus Christ, who indeed was *I* to be able to forbid God?

¹⁷Koa raha mba homen'Andriamanitra azy ny fanomezana, tahaka antsika fony isika vao nino an'i Jesosy Kristy Tompo dia iza moa aho no hahasakana an'Andriamanitra?

¹⁸And when they heard these things they held their peace, and glorified God, saying, Then indeed God has to the nations also granted repentance to life.

¹⁸Ary rehefa nandre izany ireo, dia nangina sady nankalaza an'Andriamanitra ka nanao hoe: Efa nomen'Andriamanitra ny jentilisa koa ny fibebahana hahazoany fiainana.

¹⁹They then who had been scattered abroad through the tribulation that took place on the occasion of Stephen, passed through [the country] to Phoenicia and Cyprus and Antioch, speaking the word to no one but to Jews alone.

¹⁹[Ny nandrosoan'ny tenin'Andriamanitra tao Antiokia, sy ny nampianaran'i Barnabasy sy Saoly tao] Ary izay niely noho ny fanenjehana tamin'i Stefana dia nandeha hatrany, Foinika sy Kyprosy ary Antiokia, nefa tsy nitoriteny tamin'ny olona izy, afa-tsy tamin'ny Jiosy ihany.

²⁰But there were certain of them, Cyprians and Cyrenians, who entering into Antioch spoke to the Greeks also, announcing the glad tidings of the Lord Jesus.

²⁰Ary ny sasany tamin'ireny, dia lehilahy avy any Kyprosy sy Kyrena izay tonga tany Antiokia, dia niresaka tamin'ny jentilisa koa ka nitory an'i Jesosy Tompo. [ Gr. Grika; na Helenista]

²¹And [the] Lord's hand was with them, and a great number believed and turned to the Lord.

²¹Ary ny tanan'ny Tompo nomba azy ireo, ka maro no isan'izay nino sy niverina ho amin'ny Tompo.

²²And the report concerning them reached the ears of the assembly which was in Jerusalem, and they sent out Barnabas to go through as far as Antioch:

²²Ary ren'ny sofin'ny fiangonana tany Jerosalema ny amin'ireo, dia naniraka an'i Barnabasy izy handeha hatrany Antiokia.

²³who, having arrived and seeing the grace of God, rejoiced, and exhorted all with purpose of heart to abide with the Lord;

²³Ary rehefa tonga izy ka nahita ny fahasoavan'Andriamanitra, dia faly ka nananatra azy rehetra haharitra hiray amin'ny Tompo amin'ny fo minia fatratra.

²⁴for he was a good man and full of [the] Holy Spirit and of faith; and a large crowd [of people] were added to the Lord.

²⁴Fa lehilahy tsara fanahy izy sady feno ny Fanahy Masina sy finoana; ary maro be ny olona nanampy ho an'ny Tompo.

²⁵And he went away to Tarsus to seek out Saul.

²⁵Dia lasa Barnabasy nankany Tarsosy hitady an'i Saoly.

²⁶And having found [him], he brought him to Antioch. And so it was with them that for a whole year they were gathered together in the assembly and taught a large crowd: and the disciples were first called Christians in Antioch.

²⁶Ary rehefa nahita azy izy, dia nitondra azy hankany Antiokia. Ary niara-niasa tao amin'ny fiangonana hatramin'ny herintaona ngarangidina izy roa lahy ka nampianatra olona maro; ary tany Antiokia no voalohany nanaovana ny anaran'ny mpianatra hoe.

²⁷Now in these days prophets went down from Jerusalem to Antioch;

²⁷[Ny naminanian'i Agabo fa hisy mosary] Ary tamin'izany andro izany dia nisy mpaminany sasany avy tany Jerosalema nankany Antiokia.

²⁸and one from among them, by name Agabus, rose up and signified by the Spirit that there was going to be a great famine over all the inhabited earth, which also came to pass under Claudius.

²⁸Ary nitsangana ny anankiray tamin'ireny, izay atao hoe Agabo, fa voatsindrin'ny Fanahy izy ka nilaza fa hisy mosary be eran'ny tany rehetra. Ary dia tonga izany tamin'ny andron'i Klaodio.

²⁹And they determined, according as any one of the disciples was well off, each of them to send to the brethren who dwelt in Judaea, to minister [to them];

²⁹Ary ny mpianatra ninia hampitondra zavatra araka ny ananany hamonjy ny rahalahy izay nonina tany Jodia.Dia nataony izany, ary ny tànan'i Barnabasy sy Saoly no nampitondrainy izany ho any amin'ny loholona. [ Gr. presbytera]

³⁰which also they did, sending it to the elders by the hand of Barnabas and Saul.

³⁰Dia nataony izany, ary ny tànan'i Barnabasy sy Saoly no nampitondrainy izany ho any amin'ny loholona. [ Gr. presbytera]
