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.

¹And certain having come down from Judea, were teaching the brethren — `If ye be not circumcised after the custom of Moses, ye are not able to be saved;`

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]

²there having been, therefore, not a little dissension and disputation to Paul and Barnabas with them, they arranged for Paul and Barnabas, and certain others of them, to go up unto the apostles and elders to Jerusalem about this question,

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.

³they indeed, then, having been sent forward by the assembly, were passing through Phenice and Samaria, declaring the conversion of the nations, and they were causing great joy to all the brethren.

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]

⁴And having come to Jerusalem, they were received by the assembly, and the apostles, and the elders, they declared also as many things as God did with them;

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.

⁵and there rose up certain of those of the sect of the Pharisees who believed, saying — `It behoveth to circumcise them, to command them also to keep the law of Moses.`

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

⁶And there were gathered together the apostles and the elders, to see about this matter,

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.

⁷and there having been much disputing, Peter having risen up said unto them, `Men, brethren, ye know that from former days, God among us did make choice, through my mouth, for the nations to hear the word of the good news, and to believe;

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

⁸and the heart-knowing God did bare them testimony, having given to them the Holy Spirit, even as also to us,

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

⁹and did put no difference also between us and them, by the faith having purified their hearts;

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?

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

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

¹¹but, through the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, we believe to be saved, even as also they.`

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.

¹²And all the multitude did keep silence, and were hearkening to Barnabas and Paul, declaring as many signs and wonders as God did among the nations through them;

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

¹³and after they are silent, James answered, saying, `Men, brethren, hearken to me;

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

¹⁴Simeon did declare how at first God did look after to take out of the nations a people for His name,

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

¹⁵and to this agree the words of the prophets, as it hath been written:

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;

¹⁶After these things I will turn back, and I will build again the tabernacle of David, that is fallen down, and its ruins I will build again, and will set it upright —

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

¹⁷that the residue of men may seek after the Lord, and all the nations, upon whom My name hath been called, saith the Lord, who is doing all these things.

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

¹⁸`Known from the ages to God are all His works;

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

¹⁹wherefore I judge: not to trouble those who from the nations do turn back to God,

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.

²⁰but to write to them to abstain from the pollutions of the idols, and the whoredom, and the strangled thing; and the blood;

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.

²¹for Moses from former generations in every city hath those preaching him — in the synagogues every sabbath being read.`

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]

²²Then it seemed good to the apostles and the elders, with the whole assembly, chosen men out of themselves to send to Antioch with Paul and Barnabas — Judas surnamed Barsabas, and Silas, leading men among the brethren —

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]

²³having written through their hand thus: `The apostles, and the elders, and the brethren, to those in Antioch, and Syria, and Cilicia, brethren, who [are] of the nations, greeting;

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,

²⁴seeing we have heard that certain having gone forth from us did trouble you with words, subverting your souls, saying to be circumcised and to keep the law, to whom we did give no charge,

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

²⁵it seemed good to us, having come together with one accord, chosen men to send unto you, with our beloved Barnabas and Paul —

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

²⁶men who have given up their lives for the name of our Lord Jesus Christ —

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

²⁷we have sent, therefore, Judas and Silas, and they by word are telling the same things.

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

²⁸`For it seemed good to the Holy Spirit, and to us, no more burden to lay upon you, except these necessary things:

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.

²⁹to abstain from things offered to idols, and blood, and a strangled thing, and whoredom; from which keeping yourselves, ye shall do well; be strong!`

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

³⁰They then, indeed, having been let go, went to Antioch, and having brought the multitude together, did deliver the epistle,

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

³¹and they having read, did rejoice for the consolation;

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

³²Judas also and Silas, being themselves also prophets, through much discourse did exhort the brethren, and confirm,

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

³³and having passed some time, they were let go with peace from the brethren unto the apostles;

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

³⁴and it seemed good to Silas to remain there still.

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

³⁵And Paul and Barnabas continued in Antioch, teaching and proclaiming good news — with many others also — the word of the Lord;

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.

³⁶and after certain days, Paul said unto Barnabas, `Having turned back again, we may look after our brethren, in every city in which we have preached the word of the Lord — how they are.`

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

³⁷And Barnabas counseled to take with [them] John called Mark,

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.

³⁸and Paul was not thinking it good to take him with them who withdrew from them from Pamphylia, and did not go with them to the work;

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

³⁹there came, therefore, a sharp contention, so that they were parted from one another, and Barnabas having taken Mark, did sail to Cyprus,

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.

⁴⁰and Paul having chosen Silas, went forth, having been given up to the grace of God by the brethren;

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

⁴¹and he went through Syria and Cilicia, confirming the assemblies.
