¹[Ny nilatsahan'ny Fanahy Masina tamin'ny Andro Pentekosta, sy ny tori-teny nataon'i Petera tamin'izany] Ary nony tonga ny Andro Pentekosta, dia teo amin'ny fitoerana iray izy rehetra.

¹And in the day of the Pentecost being fulfilled, they were all with one accord at the same place,

²Ary nisy feo tonga tampoka avy tany an-danitra, toy ny rivotra mahery mifofofofo, ka nanenika ilay trano niangonany.

²and there came suddenly out of the heaven a sound as of a bearing violent breath, and it filled all the house where they were sitting,

³Ary nisy lela maro mitarehin'afo niseho taminy, izay nizarazara; ary nipetraka tamin'izy rehetra isan-olona izany.

³and there appeared to them divided tongues, as it were of fire; it sat also upon each one of them,

⁴Ary samy feno ny Fanahy Masina izy rehetra, ka dia niteny tamin'ny fiteny maro samy hafa, araka ny nampitenenan'ny Fanahy Masina azy.

⁴and they were all filled with the Holy Spirit, and began to speak with other tongues, according as the Spirit was giving them to declare.

⁵Ary nisy Jiosy, mpivavaka tsara, nitoetra tany Jerosalema, avy tany amin'ny firenena samy hafa rehetra ambanin'ny lanitra.

⁵And there were dwelling in Jerusalem Jews, devout men from every nation of those under the heaven,

⁶Ary nony re izany feo izany, dia niangona ny olona maro ka very hevitra, fa samy nahare azy ireo niteny tamin'ny fiteniny avy izy rehetra.

⁶and the rumour of this having come, the multitude came together, and was confounded, because they were each one hearing them speaking in his proper dialect,

⁷Dia talanjona sady gaga izy rehetra ka nanao hoe: Indreo, tsy Galiliana va ireo rehetra miteny ireo?

⁷and they were all amazed, and did wonder, saying one unto another, `Lo, are not all these who are speaking Galileans?

⁸Koa ahoana no andrenesantsika amin'ny fitenintsika avy izay nahabe antsika

⁸and how do we hear, each in our proper dialect, in which we were born?

⁹- dia Partiana sy Mediana sy Elamita, ary mponina any Mesopotamia, sy Jodia sy Kapadokia sy Ponto sy Asia

⁹Parthians, and Medes, and Elamites, and those dwelling in Mesopotamia, in Judea also, and Cappadocia, Pontus, and Asia,

¹⁰sy Frygia sy Pamfylia, sy Egypta sy ny tany Libya izay manodidina an'i Kyrena, ary vahiny avy any Roma, na Jiosy na proselyta,

¹⁰Phrygia also, and Pamphylia, Egypt, and the parts of Libya, that [are] along Cyrene, and the strangers of Rome, both Jews and proselytes,

¹¹Kretana sy Arabo - koa ahoana no andrenesantsika ireo miteny amin'ny fitenintsika avy ny asa lehibe ataon'Andriamanitra?

¹¹Cretes and Arabians, we did hear them speaking in our tongues the great things of God.`

¹²Dia talanjona izy rehetra ka niahanahana sady niresaka hoe: Ahoana no tokony ho hevitr'izany?

¹²And they were all amazed, and were in doubt, saying one unto another, `What would this wish to be?`

¹³Fa ny sasany nihomehy ka nanao hoe: Leon-divay mamy ireo.

¹³and others mocking said, — `They are full of sweet wine;`

¹⁴Fa nitsangana Petera sy ny iraika ambin'ny folo lahy, dia nanandra-peo izy ka nanao taminy hoe: Ry lehilahy Jiosy sy izay rehetra monina eto Jerosalema, aoka ho fantatrareo izao, ka henoy ny teniko:

¹⁴and Peter having stood up with the eleven, lifted up his voice and declared to them, `Men, Jews! and all those dwelling in Jerusalem, let this be known to you, and harken to my sayings,

¹⁵Tsy mamo araka ny hevitrareo tsy akory ireo, fa vao ora fahatelo ihany izao ny andro.

¹⁵for these are not drunken, as ye take it up, for it is the third hour of the day.

¹⁶Fa izao ilay nampilazaina an'i Joela mpaminany hoe:

¹⁶`But this is that which hath been spoken through the prophet Joel:

¹⁷Ary amin'ny andro farany, hoy Andriamanitra, No handatsahako ny Fanahiko amin'ny nofo rehetra; Ary ny zanakalahinareo sy ny zanakavavinareo haminany, Ary ny zatovonareo hahita fahitana, Ary ny lahiantitrareo hanonofy;

¹⁷And it shall be in the last days, saith God, I will pour out of My Spirit upon all flesh, and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, and your young men shall see visions, and your old men shall dream dreams;

¹⁸Ary ny mpanompoko, na lahy na vavy, Dia handatsahako ny Fanahiko amin'izany andro izany, Ka dia haminany izy;

¹⁸and also upon My men-servants, and upon My maid-servants, in those days, I will pour out of My Spirit, and they shall prophesy;

¹⁹Ary hanisy fahagagana eny amin'ny lanitra ambony Aho sy famantarana amin'ny tany ambany, Dia rà sy afo ary zavon'ny setroka;

¹⁹and I will give wonders in the heaven above, and signs upon the earth beneath — blood, and fire, and vapour of smoke,

²⁰Ny masoandro hampodina ho aizina, Ary ny volana ho rà, Alohan'ny hahatongavan'ny andron'i Jehovah, Dia ilay sady lehibe no malaza;

²⁰the sun shall be turned to darkness, and the moon to blood, before the coming of the day of the Lord — the great and illustrious;

²¹Ary na zovy na zovy no hiantso ny anaran'i Jehovah dia hovonjena (Joela 3. 1-5).

²¹and it shall be, every one — whoever shall call upon the name of the Lord, he shall be saved.

²²Ry lehilahy Isiraely, mihainoa izao teny izao: Jesosy avy any Nazareta, lehilahy nasehon'Andriamanitra teo aminareo tamin'ny asa lehibe sy ny fahagagana ary ny famantarana izay nampanaovin'Andriamanitra Azy teo aminareo, tahaka ny fantatrareo ihany,

²²`Men, Israelites! hear these words, Jesus the Nazarene, a man approved of God among you by mighty works, and wonders, and signs, that God did through him in the midst of you, according as also ye yourselves have known;

²³Izy efa natolotra araka ny saina niniana sy ny fahalalan'Andriamanitra rahateo, dia nohomboanareo sy novonoinareo tamin'ny tanan'ny olona tsy tan-dalàna;

²³this one, by the determinate counsel and foreknowledge of God, being given out, having taken by lawless hands, having crucified — ye did slay;

²⁴fa Andriamanitra nanangana Azy, rehefa nahafaka ny fanaintainan'ny fahafatesana, satria tsy laitr'izany hohazonina Izy.

²⁴whom God did raise up, having loosed the pains of the death, because it was not possible for him to be held by it,

²⁵Fa Davida milaza Azy hoe: Nijery an'i Jehovah teo anatrehako mandrakariva aho; Satria eo ankavanako Izy, mba tsy hangozohozo aho,

²⁵for David saith in regard to him: I foresaw the Lord always before me — because He is on my right hand — that I may not be moved;

²⁶Dia izany no nifalian'ny foko sy niravoravoan'ny lelako; Ny nofoko koa hitoetra amin'ny fanantenana;

²⁶because of this was my heart cheered, and my tongue was glad, and yet — my flesh also shall rest on hope,

²⁷Fa tsy ho foinao ho any amin'ny fiainan-tsi-hita ny aiko; Ary tsy hamela ny Iray Masinao ho tratry ny lò Hianao; [Gr. Hadesy]

²⁷because Thou wilt not leave my soul to hades, nor wilt Thou give Thy Kind One to see corruption;

²⁸Nampahafantatra ahy ny lalan'aina Hianao; Hampifaly ahy indrindra amin'ny tavanao (Sal. 16. 8-11).

²⁸Thou didst make known to me ways of life, Thou shalt fill me with joy with Thy countenance.

²⁹Ry rahalahy, aoka aho mba hilaza aminareo marimarina ny amin'i Davida patriarka, fa efa maty izy ka nalevina koa, ary ny fasany eto amintsika mandraka androany.

²⁹`Men, brethren! it is permitted to speak with freedom unto you concerning the patriarch David, that he both died and was buried, and his tomb is among us unto this day;

³⁰Ary satria mpaminany izy ka nahalala fa Andriamanitra efa nanao fianianana taminy fa izay hateraky ny kibony no hipetraka eo ambonin'ny seza fiandrianany, [Na: hapetrany]

³⁰a prophet, therefore, being, and knowing that with an oath God did swear to him, out of the fruit of his loins, according to the flesh, to raise up the Christ, to sit upon his throne,

³¹koa raha nahita rahateo izy, dia nilaza ny fitsanganan'i Kristy, fa tsy nafoy ho any amin'ny fiainan-tsi-hita Izy, ary ny nofony tsy tratry ny lò. [Gr. Hadesy]

³¹having foreseen, he did speak concerning the rising again of the Christ, that his soul was not left to hades, nor did his flesh see corruption.

³²Izany Jesosy izany dia efa natsangan'Andriamanitra, ary vavolombelon'izany izahay rehetra.

³²`This Jesus did God raise up, of which we are all witnesses;

³³Ary rehefa nasandratry ny tanana ankavanan'Andriamanitra Izy, ary nandray tamin'ny Ray ny Fanahy Masina Izay nokasainy, dia efa nampilatsaka izao hitanareo sy renareo izao Izy. [ Na: ho eo an-tanana ankavanan'Andriamanitra]

³³at the right hand then of God having been exalted — also the promise of the Holy Spirit having received from the Father — he was shedding forth this, which now ye see and hear;

³⁴Fa tsy Davida no niakatra tany an-danitra; fa hoy izy: Jehovah nilaza tamin'ny Tompoko hoe: Mipetraha eo an-tanako ankavanana

³⁴for David did not go up to the heavens, and he saith himself: The Lord saith to my lord, Sit thou at my right hand,

³⁵Ambara-panaoko ny fahavalonao ho fitoeran-tongotrao (Sal. 110. 1).

³⁵till I make thy foes thy footstool;

³⁶Koa aoka ho fantatry ny taranak'isiraely rehetra marimarina fa iny Jesosy nohomboanareo tamin'ny hazo fijaliana iny dia efa nataon'Andriamanitra ho Tompo sy Kristy.

³⁶assuredly, therefore, let all the house of Israel know, that both Lord and Christ did God make him — this Jesus whom ye did crucify.`

³⁷Ary raha nandre izany ny olona, dia voatsindrona tam-pony ka nanao tamin'i Petera sy ny Apostoly namany hoe: Ry rahalahy, inona no hataonay?

³⁷And having heard, they were pricked to the heart; they say also to Peter, and to the rest of the apostles, `What shall we do, men, brethren?`

³⁸Ary hoy Petera taminy: Mibebaha, ary aoka samy hatao batisa amin'ny anaran'i Jesosy Kristy ianareo rehetra mba hahazo famelana ny helokareo; ary ianareo handray ny fanomezana, dia ny Fanahy Masina;

³⁸and Peter said unto them, `Reform, and be baptized each of you on the name of Jesus Christ, to remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Spirit,

³⁹fa ny teny fikasana dia ho anareo sy ny zanakareo ary ho an'izay rehetra lavitra, na iza na iza hantsoin'i Jehovah Andriamanitsika hanatona Azy.

³⁹for to you is the promise, and to your children, and to all those afar off, as many as the Lord our God shall call.`

⁴⁰Ary nanambara sy nananatra azy tamin'ny teny maro hafa koa izy ka nanao hoe: Aoka hovonjena ho afaka amin'ity taranaka maditra ity ianareo.

⁴⁰Also with many more other words he was testifying and exhorting, saying, `Be saved from this perverse generation;`

⁴¹Ary izay nandray tsara ny teniny dia natao batisa; ary tokony ho telo arivo no olona nanampy ho isany tamin'izany andro izany.

⁴¹then those, indeed, who did gladly receive his word were baptized, and there were added on that day, as it were, three thousand souls,

⁴²Ary izy ireo naharitra tamin'ny fampianaran'ny Apostoly sy ny fiombonana sy ny famakiana ny mofo ary ny fivavahana.

⁴²and they were continuing stedfastly in the teaching of the apostles, and the fellowship, and the breaking of the bread, and the prayers.

⁴³Dia raiki-tahotra ny olona rehetra teo, ary fahagagana sy famantarana maro no nataon'ny Apostoly.

⁴³And fear came on every soul, many wonders also and signs were being done through the apostles,

⁴⁴Ary izay rehetra nino dia niray toerana, sady niombonany avokoa ny fananany rehetra,

⁴⁴and all those believing were at the same place, and had all things common,

⁴⁵ary namidiny ny taniny sy ny fananany ka nozarainy tamin'izy rehetra araka izay nilainy avy.

⁴⁵and the possessions and the goods they were selling, and were parting them to all, according as any one had need.

⁴⁶Ary dia niray saina isan'andro izy ka nazoto nankeo an-kianjan'ny tempoly ary namaky mofo tao an-trano ka nihinan-kanina tamin'ny fifaliana sy ny fahatsaram-po,nidera an'Andriamanitra sady nahita fitia tamin'ny vahoaka rehetra. Ary ny olom-bonjena dia nanampin'ny Tompo isan'andro ho isan'ireo.

⁴⁶Daily also continuing with one accord in the temple, breaking also at every house bread, they were partaking of food in gladness and simplicity of heart,

⁴⁷nidera an'Andriamanitra sady nahita fitia tamin'ny vahoaka rehetra. Ary ny olom-bonjena dia nanampin'ny Tompo isan'andro ho isan'ireo.

⁴⁷praising God, and having favour with all the people, and the Lord was adding those being saved every day to the assembly.
