¹Dia tonga tany Derbe sy Lystra koa izy; ary, indro, nisy mpianatra anankiray teo atao hoe Timoty - zanaky ny vehivavy Jiosy izay nino, fa jentilisa rainy - [ Gr. Grika]

¹And he came to Derbe and Lystra, and lo, a certain disciple was there, by name Timotheus son of a certain woman, a believing Jewess, but of a father, a Greek,

²ary tsara laza teo amin'ny rahalahy tany Lystra sy Ikonioma izy.

²who was well testified to by the brethren in Lystra and Iconium;

³Koa tian'i Paoly ho entiny miaraka aminy izy; dia nalainy izy ka noforany noho ny Jiosy tany amin'izany tany izany, satria fantatr'izy rehetra fa jentilisa rainy. [ Gr. Grika]

³this one did Paul wish to go forth with him, and having taken [him], he circumcised him, because of the Jews who are in those places, for they all knew his father — that he was a Greek.

⁴Ary raha nandeha nitety ny tanàna tao izy, dia natolony hotandreman'ny olona ireo didy navoaky ny Apostoly sy ny loholona tany Jerosalema. [Gr.presbytera]

⁴And as they were going on through the cities, they were delivering to them the decrees to keep, that have been judged by the apostles and the elders who [are] in Jerusalem,

⁵Ary nihanahery finoana ny fiangonana sady nihamaro isan'andro.

⁵then, indeed, were the assemblies established in the faith, and were abounding in number every day;

⁶[Ny niantsoan'Andriamanitra an'i Paoly hankany Makedonia, sy ny nataon'i Paoly tao Filipy] Ary rehefa noraran'ny Fanahy Masina tsy hitory ny teny tany Asia izy, dia nandeha namaky ny tany Frygia sy Galatia

⁶and having gone through Phrygia and the region of Galatia, having been forbidden by the Holy Spirit to speak the word in Asia,

⁷ka efa tonga tany an-tsisin'i Mysia, dia nitady hankany Bitynia izy, fa tsy navelan'ny Fanahin'i Jesosy.

⁷having gone toward Mysia, they were trying to go on toward Bithynia, and the Spirit did not suffer them,

⁸Ary rehefa nandalo an'i Mysia izy, dia nidina nankany Troasy.

⁸and having passed by Mysia, they came down to Troas.

⁹Ary nony alina dia nisy fahitana niseho tamin'i Paoly, koa, indro, nisy lehilahy Makedoniana nitsangana teo ka nangataka azy hoe: Mità mankaty Makedonia, ka vonjeo izahay!

⁹And a vision through the night appeared to Paul — a certain man of Macedonia was standing, calling upon him, and saying, `Having passed through to Macedonia, help us;` —

¹⁰Ary nony nahita ny fahitana izy, dia nitady handeha niaraka tamin'izay hankany Makedonia izahay, satria nataonay fa Andriamanitra no efa niantso anay hitory ny filazantsara amin'ny olona any.

¹⁰and when he saw the vision, immediately we endeavoured to go forth to Macedonia, assuredly gathering that the Lord hath called us to preach good news to them,

¹¹Ary nony niondrana an-tsambo niala tany Troasy izahay, dia nizotra nankany Samotrakia; ary nony ampitso dia nankany Neapolia.

¹¹having set sail, therefore, from Troas, we came with a straight course to Samothracia, on the morrow also to Neapolis,

¹²Ary nony niala teo izahay, dia nankany Filipy, izay tanàna voalohany amin'izany zara-tanin'i Makedonia izany sady zana-panjakana; ary nitoetra teo amin'izany tanàna izany andro vitsivitsy izahay. [ Gr. kolonia]

¹²thence also to Philippi, which is a principal city of the part of Macedonia — a colony. And we were in this city abiding certain days,

¹³Ary tamin'ny andro Sabata dia nivoaka teo ivelan'ny vavahady izahay nankeny amoron'ony, izay nataonay fa nisy fitoerana fivavahana; ary nipetraka teo izahay ka niresaka tamin'ny vehivavy vory teo.

¹³on the sabbath-day also we went forth outside of the city, by a river, where there used to be prayer, and having sat down, we were speaking to the women who came together,

¹⁴Ary nisy vehivavy atao hoe Lydia, mpivarotra lamba volomparasy, avy any an-tanàna Tyatira, izay nivavaka tamin'Andriamanitra, dia nihaino izy, ary ny Tompo nanokatra ny fony hitandrina ny teny izay nolazain'i Paoly.

¹⁴and a certain woman, by name Lydia, a seller of purple, of the city of Thyatira, worshipping God, was hearing, whose heart the Lord did open to attend to the things spoken by Paul;

¹⁵Ary rehefa natao batisa ravehivavy mbamin'ny ankohonany, dia nangataka izy nanao hoe: Raha ataonareo ho mahatoky amin'ny Tompo aho, dia midìra ao an-tranoko ka mitoera ao. Dia nanery anay izy.

¹⁵and when she was baptized, and her household, she did call upon us, saying, `If ye have judged me to be faithful to the Lord, having entered into my house, remain;` and she constrained us.

¹⁶Ary raha nandeha ho any amin'ilay fitoerana fivavahana izahay, dia nisy ankizivavy anankiray nanam-panahy mahavaly nifanena taminay, ary ny faminaniana nataony no nahazoan'ny tompony harena be.

¹⁶And it came to pass in our going on to prayer, a certain maid, having a spirit of Python, did meet us, who brought much employment to her masters by soothsaying,

¹⁷Izy nanaraka an'i Paoly sy izahay ka niantso hoe: Ireo lehilahy ireo dia mpanompon'Andriamanitra Avo Indrindra, izay manoro anareo lalam-pamonjena.

¹⁷she having followed Paul and us, was crying, saying, `These men are servants of the Most High God, who declare to us a way of salvation;`

¹⁸Ary nataony tamin'ny andro maro izany. Ary sosotra Paoly, dia nitodika ka nanao tamin'ny fanahy hoe: Mandidy anao amin'ny anaran'i Jesosy Kristy aho hivoaka aminy. Dia nivoaka tamin'izany ora izany indrindra izy.

¹⁸and this she was doing for many days, but Paul having been grieved, and having turned, said to the spirit, `I command thee, in the name of Jesus Christ, to come forth from her;` and it came forth the same hour.

¹⁹Ary nony hitan'ireo tompony fa very ny fanantenany hahazoany harena, dia nisambotra an'i Paoly sy Silasy izy ka nitondra azy ho any an-tsena any amin'ny lehibe;

¹⁹And her masters having seen that the hope of their employment was gone, having caught Paul and Silas, drew [them] to the market-place, unto the rulers,

²⁰ary rehefa nentiny tany amin'ireo governora izy roa lahy, dia nolazainy hoe: Ireto lehilahy Jiosy ireto mampitabataba ny tanànantsika loatra

²⁰and having brought them to the magistrates, they said, `These men do exceedingly trouble our city, being Jews;

²¹ka mampianatra fanao tsy mety horaisintsika na hataontsika, fa Romana isika.

²¹and they proclaim customs that are not lawful for us to receive nor to do, being Romans.`

²²Ary ny vahoaka niara-nitsangana hamely azy; ary ireo governora nanaisotra ny lambany, ka nasainy nokapohina tamin'ny hazo izy.

²²And the multitude rose up together against them, and the magistrates having torn their garments from them, were commanding to beat [them] with rods,

²³Ary nony efa nokapohiny mafy dia mafy izy, dia nataony tao an-tranomaizina, ka nasainy niambina azy tsara ny mpiandry tranomaizina.

²³many blows also having laid upon them, they cast them to prison, having given charge to the jailor to keep them safely,

²⁴Ary rehefa nahazo teny toy izany ralehilahy, dia nataony tao amin'ny tranomaizina anatiny indrindra izy, ary ny tongony nobolokiny mafy tamin'ny boloky hazo.

²⁴who such a charge having received, did put them to the inner prison, and their feet made fast in the stocks.

²⁵Ary nony mamatonalina, dia nivavaka sy nihira fiderana an'Andriamanitra Paoly sy Silasy; ary nihaino azy ny mpifatotra.

²⁵And at midnight Paul and Silas praying, were singing hymns to God, and the prisoners were hearing them,

²⁶Ary nisy horohorontany mafy dia mafy avy tampoka, ka nihozongozona ny fanorenan'ny tranomaizina; dia nivoha niaraka tamin'izay ny varavarana rehetra, ary nivaha avokoa ny fatoran'izy rehetra.

²⁶and suddenly a great earthquake came, so that the foundations of the prison were shaken, opened also presently were all the doors, and of all — the bands were loosed;

²⁷Dia nahatsiaro ny mpiandry tranomaizina ka nahita ny varavaran'ny tranomaizina nivoha, dia nanatsoaka ny sabany izy ka saiky hamono tena, satria nataony fa efa nandositra ny mpifatotra.

²⁷and the jailor having come out of sleep, and having seen the doors of the prison open, having drawn a sword, was about to kill himself, supposing the prisoners to be fled,

²⁸Fa Paoly niantso tamin'ny feo mahery ka nanao hoe: Aza mamono tena, fa ato ihany izahay rehetra.

²⁸and Paul cried out with a loud voice, saying, `Thou mayest not do thyself any harm, for we are all here.`

²⁹Ary izy niantso jiro, dia nikaretsaka niditra sady tora-kovitra ka niankohoka teo anatrehan'i Paoly sy Silasy.

²⁹And, having asked for a light, he sprang in, and trembling he fell down before Paul and Silas,

³⁰Ary rehefa nentiny nivoaka izy roa lahy, dia hoy izy: Tompoko, inona no mety hataoko, mba hovonjena aho?

³⁰and having brought them forth, said, `Sirs, what must I do — that I may be saved?`

³¹Dia hoy izy roa lahy: Minoa an'i Jesosy Tompo, dia hovonjena ianao sy ny ankohonanao.

³¹and they said, `Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved — thou and thy house;`

³²Ary izy roa lahy nitory ny tenin'ny Tompo taminy sy tamin'izay rehetra tao an-tranony.

³²and they spake to him the word of the Lord, and to all those in his household;

³³Ary nandray azy roa lahy izy tamin'izany ora amin'ny alina izany ka nanasa ny dian-kapoka; ary natao batisa tamin'izay izy mbamin'izay azy rehetra.

³³and having taken them, in that hour of the night, he did bathe [them] from the blows, and was baptized, himself and all his presently,

³⁴Ary rehefa nentiny niakatra ho ao an-trano izy roa lahy, dia norosoany hanina teo anoloany, dia nifaly indrindra izy mbamin'izay rehetra tao an-tranony, satria efa nino an'Andriamanitra.

³⁴having brought them also into his house, he set food before [them], and was glad with all the household, he having believed in God.

³⁵Ary rehefa maraina ny andro, ireo governora dia naniraka ny mpitan-defona ka nanao hoe: Alefaso ireo olona ireo.

³⁵And day having come, the magistrates sent the rod-bearers, saying, `Let those men go;`

³⁶Ary ny mpiandry tranomaizina nilaza izany teny izany tamin'i Paoly hoe: Ireo governora efa naniraka handefa anareo, koa ankehitriny mivoaha ianareo ka mandehana soa aman-tsara.

³⁶and the jailor told these words unto Paul — `The magistrates have sent, that ye may be let go; now, therefore, having gone forth go on in peace;`

³⁷Fa hoy Paoly taminy: Efa nokapohiny tsy voatsara teo amin'ny miharihary izahay, kanefa Romana izahay, ka nataony tao an-tranomaizina, ary ankehitriny moa mamoaka anay mangingina va izy? Tsia, fa aoka izy ihany ho hankatỳ hamoaka anay.

³⁷and Paul said to them, `Having beaten us publicly uncondemned — men, Romans being — they did cast [us] to prison, and now privately do they cast us forth! why no! but having come themselves, let them bring us forth.`

³⁸Ary ny mpitan-defona nilaza izany teny izany tamin'ireo governora; dia natahotra izy, raha nahare fa Romana izy roa lahy.

³⁸And the rod-bearers told to the magistrates these sayings, and they were afraid, having heard that they are Romans,

³⁹Dia tonga izy ka nanony azy sady nitondra azy nivoaka ary nangataka azy handeha hiala ao an-tanàna.Dia niala tao an-tranomaizina izy ka niditra tao an-tranon'i Lydia; ary rehefa nahita ny rahalahy izy, dia nananatra azy ka lasa nandeha.

³⁹and having come, they besought them, and having brought [them] forth, they were asking [them] to go forth from the city;

⁴⁰Dia niala tao an-tranomaizina izy ka niditra tao an-tranon'i Lydia; ary rehefa nahita ny rahalahy izy, dia nananatra azy ka lasa nandeha.

⁴⁰and they, having gone forth out of the prison, entered into [the house of] Lydia, and having seen the brethren, they comforted them, and went forth.
