¹And as they were speaking to the people, the priests and captain of the temple and the Sadducees came upon them,

¹[Ny namatorana an'i Petera sy Jaona, sy ny nataon'ny Synedriona taminy] Ary raha mbola niteny tamin'ny vahoaka izy, dia, indreo, tonga teo aminy ny mpisorona sy ny lehiben'ny mpiambina ny tempoly ary ny Sadoseo;

²being distressed on account of their teaching the people and preaching by Jesus the resurrection from among [the] dead;

²fa sosotra izy noho ny nampianaran'ny Apostoly ny vahoaka sy ny nitoriany tamin'ny alalan'i Jesosy ny fitsanganana amin'ny maty.

³and they laid hands on them, and put them in ward till the morrow; for it was already evening.

³Dia nisambotra azy izy ka nanao azy tao an-tranomaizina ambara-pahamarain'ny andro; fa efa hariva ny andro tamin'izay.

⁴But many of those who had heard the word believed; and the number of the men had become [about] five thousand.

⁴Kanefa maro tamin'izay nandre ny teny no nino, ka dia tonga tokony ho dimy arivo no isan'ny lehilahy.

⁵And it came to pass on the morrow that their rulers and elders and scribes were gathered together at Jerusalem,

⁵Ary nony maraina ny andro, dia niangona tany Jerosalema ny mpanapaka sy ny loholona sy ny mpanora-dalàna

⁶and Annas the high priest, and Caiaphas, and John, and Alexander, and as many as were of [the] high priestly family;

⁶sy Anasy mpisoronabe sy Kaiafa sy Jaona sy Aleksandro mbamin'izay rehetra mety ho havan'ny mpisoronabe.

⁷and having placed them in the midst they inquired, In what power or in what name have *ye* done this?

⁷Ary rehefa nataony teo ampovoany izy roa lahy, dia nanontaniany hoe: Fahefana manao ahoana, na anarana manao ahoana, no nanaovanareo izany?

⁸Then Peter, filled with [the] Holy Spirit, said to them, Rulers of the people and elders [of Israel],

⁸Ary Petera, feno ny Fanahy Masina, dia nanao taminy hoe: Ry mpanapaka ny vahoaka sy loholona,

⁹if *we* this day are called upon to answer as to the good deed [done] to the infirm man, how *he* has been healed,

⁹raha adinina izahay anin'ny amin'ny asa tsara natao tamin'ny nahasitranana ilay lehilahy malemy,

¹⁰be it known to you all, and to all the people of Israel, that in the name of Jesus Christ the Nazaraean, whom *ye* have crucified, whom God has raised from among [the] dead, by *him* this [man] stands here before you sound [in body].

¹⁰dia aoka ho fantatrareo rehetra sy ny olona Isiraely rehetra fa ny anaran'i Jesosy Kristy avy any Nazareta, Izay nohomboanareo tamin'ny hazo fijaliana, fa natsangan'Andriamanitra tamin'ny maty kosa, dia Izy no itsanganan'io lehilahy io finaritra eto imasonareo.

¹¹*He* is the stone which has been set at nought by you the builders, which is become the corner stone.

¹¹Ity no vato izay nolavinareo mpanao trano, nefa tonga fehizoro (Sal. 118. 22).

¹²And salvation is in none other, for neither is there another name under heaven which is given among men by which we must be saved.

¹²Ary tsy misy famonjena amin'ny hafa; fa tsy misy anarana hafa ambanin'ny lanitra nomena ny olona izay hahazoantsika famonjena.

¹³But seeing the boldness of Peter and John, and perceiving that they were unlettered and uninstructed men, they wondered; and they recognised them that they were with Jesus.

¹³Ary nony nahita ny fahasahisahian'i Petera sy Jaona izy, sady nahalala fa tsy mba mpahay lalàna na nampianarina izy roa lahy, dia gaga izy; ary fantany tsara fa efa niaraka tamin'i Jesosy izy roa lahy.

¹⁴And beholding the man who had been healed standing with them, they had nothing to reply;

¹⁴Ary nony nijery ny lehilahy izay efa sitrana nitsangana teo aminy izy, dia tsy hitany izay havaliny.

¹⁵but having commanded them to go out of the council they conferred with one another,

¹⁵Ary rehefa nasainy niala teo amin'ny Synedriona izy roa lahy, dia niara-nisaina izy

¹⁶saying, What shall we do to these men? for that indeed an evident sign has come to pass through their means is manifest to all that inhabit Jerusalem, and we cannot deny it.

¹⁶ka nanao hoe: Hataontsika ahoana ireo lehilahy ireo? fa efa nanao famantarana malaza tokoa izy, ary fantatry ny mponina rehetra eto Jerosalema izany, ka tsy azontsika lavina.

¹⁷But that it be not further spread among the people, let us threaten them severely no longer to speak to any man in this name.

¹⁷Fa mba tsy hielezan'izany intsony amin'ny vahoaka, dia aoka horahonantsika izy mba tsy hiteny amin'izany anarana izany intsony na amin'iza na amin'iza.

¹⁸And having called them, they charged [them] not to speak at all nor teach in the name of Jesus.

¹⁸Ary niantso azy izy ka nandrara azy tsy hiteny na hampianatra amin'ny anaran'i Jesosy intsony.

¹⁹But Peter and John answering said to them, If it be righteous before God to listen to you rather than to God, judge ye;

¹⁹Fa Petera sy Jaona kosa namaly azy ka nanao hoe: Tsaraonareo na marina eo imason'Andriamanitra, na tsia, ny hanaiky anareo mihoatra noho Andriamanitra.

²⁰for as for us *we* cannot refrain from speaking of the things which we have seen and heard.

²⁰Fa izahay tsy maintsy milaza izay zavatra efa hitanay sy renay.

²¹But they, having further threatened them, let them go, finding no way how they might punish them, on account of the people, because all glorified God for what had taken place;

²¹Ary rehefa norahonany indray izy, dia nalefany; fa tsy hitany izay hampijaliany azy noho ny tahony ny vahoaka; satria izy rehetra nankalaza an'Andriamanitra noho ny amin'ny zavatra efa natao.

²²for the man on whom this sign of healing had taken place was above forty years old.

²²Fa efa tsy omby efa-polo taona ralehilahy izay nanaovana izany famantarana nahasitrana azy izany.

²³And having been let go, they came to their own [company], and reported all that the chief priests and elders had said to them.

²³Ary rehefa nalefa izy roa lahy, dia tonga teo amin'ny namany ka nanambara izay rehetra nolazain'ny lohan'ny mpisorona sy ny loholona taminy.

²⁴And they, having heard [it], lifted up [their] voice with one accord to God, and said, Lord, *thou* art the God who made the heaven and the earth and the sea, and all that is in them;

²⁴Fa rehefa nandre izany izy ireo, dia niara-nanandratra ny feony ho amin'Andriamanitra ka nanao hoe: Tompo ô, Hianao no nanao ny lanitra sy ny tany ary ny ranomasina mbamin'izay rehetra ao anatiny,

²⁵who hast said by the mouth of thy servant David, Why have [the] nations raged haughtily and [the] peoples meditated vain things?

²⁵ary ny Fanahy Masina no nampitenenanao an'i Davida razanay sady mpanomponao hoe: Nahoana no mitabataba ny jentilisa, Ary misaina anoano foana ny firenena?

²⁶The kings of the earth were there, and the rulers were gathered together against the Lord and against his Christ.

²⁶Ireo mpanjakan'ny tany nitsangana, Ary ny mpanapaka niangona Hanohitra an'i Jehovah sy ny Mesiany (Sal. 2. 1, 2).

²⁷For in truth against thy holy servant Jesus, whom thou hadst anointed, both Herod and Pontius Pilate, with [the] nations, and peoples of Israel, have been gathered together in this city

²⁷Fa efa niangona marina tokoa teto amin'ity tanàna ity Heroda sy Pontio Pilato mbamin'ny jentilisa sy ny olona Isiraely hanohitra ny Mpanomponao Masina, dia Jesosy Izay nohosoranao, [Na: ny Zanakao]

²⁸to do whatever thy hand and thy counsel had determined before should come to pass.

²⁸mba hanao izay notendren'ny tananao aman-tsainao rahateo hatao.

²⁹And now, Lord, look upon their threatenings, and give to thy bondmen with all boldness to speak thy word,

²⁹Koa ankehitriny, Tompo ô, jereo ny fandrahonany; ary omeo anay mpanomponao ny mba hitory ny teninao amin'ny fahasahiana rehetra,

³⁰in that thou stretchest out thy hand to heal, and that signs and wonders take place through the name of thy holy servant Jesus.

³⁰omban'ny aninjiranao ny tananao hahasitrana sy ny anaovana famantarana sy fahagagana amin'ny anaran'i Jesosy, Mpanomponao Masina. [: Na: Zanakao]

³¹And when they had prayed, the place in which they were assembled shook, and they were all filled with the Holy Spirit, and spoke the word of God with boldness.

³¹Ary rehefa nivavaka izy, dia nihovitrovitra ny trano izay niangonany; dia feno ny Fanahy Masina izy rehetra ka nitory ny tenin'Andriamanitra tamin'ny fahasahiana.

³²And the heart and soul of the multitude of those that had believed were one, and not one said that anything of what he possessed was his own, but all things were common to them;

³²[Ny nifankatiavan'ny mpianatra sy ny fahazotoany] Ary niray fo sy fanahy ny olona rehetra izay nino; ary tsy nisy nanonona ny fananany ho azy na dia iray aza, fa niombonany avokoa ny zavatra rehetra nananany.

³³and with great power did the apostles give witness of the resurrection of the Lord Jesus, and great grace was upon them all.

³³Ary tamin'ny hery be no nanambaran'ny Apostoly ny nitsanganan'i Jesosy Tompo; ary fahasoavana be no tao amin'izy rehetra.

³⁴For neither was there any one in want among them; for as many as were owners of lands or houses, selling them, brought the price of what was sold

³⁴Fa tsy nisy olona nalahelo teo aminy; fa izay nanana tany na trano, raha nivarotra izany, dia nitondra ny vola vidin'ny zavatra lafo,

³⁵and laid it at the feet of the apostles; and distribution was made to each according as any one might have need.

³⁵ka napetrany teo anoloan'ny tongotry ny Apostoly, dia nozaraina tamin'izy rehetra araka izay nilainy avy

³⁶And Joseph, who had been surnamed Barnabas by the apostles (which is, being interpreted, Son of consolation), a Levite, Cyprian by birth,

³⁶Ary Josefa, izay nataon'ny Apostoly hoe koa Barnabasy (izany hoe, raha adika, Zanaky ny fananarana), Levita, avy any Kyprosy no firazanany,dia nivarotra ny sahany, ary nentiny ny vola vidiny ka napetrany teo anoloan'ny tongotry ny Apostoly.

³⁷being possessed of land, having sold [it], brought the money and laid it at the feet of the apostles.

³⁷dia nivarotra ny sahany, ary nentiny ny vola vidiny ka napetrany teo anoloan'ny tongotry ny Apostoly.
