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;

¹And as they are speaking unto the people, there came to them the priests, and the magistrate of the temple, and the Sadducees —

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

²being grieved because of their teaching the people, and preaching in Jesus the rising again out of the dead —

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

³and they laid hands upon them, and did put them in custody unto the morrow, for it was evening already;

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

⁴and many of those hearing the word did believe, and the number of the men became, as it were, five thousand.

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

⁵And it came to pass upon the morrow, there were gathered together of them the rulers, and elders, and scribes, to Jerusalem,

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

⁶and Annas the chief priest, and Caiaphas, and John, and Alexander, and as many as were of the kindred of the chief priest,

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

⁷and having set them in the midst, they were inquiring, `In what power, or in what name did ye do this?`

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

⁸Then Peter, having been filled with the Holy Spirit, said unto them: `Rulers of the people, and elders of Israel,

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

⁹if we to-day are examined concerning the good deed to the ailing man, by whom he hath been saved,

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.

¹⁰be it known to all of you, and to all the people of Israel, that in the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, whom ye did crucify, whom God did raise out of the dead, in him hath this one stood by before you whole.

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

¹¹`This is the stone that was set at nought by you — the builders, that became head of a corner;

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

¹²and there is not salvation in any other, for there is no other name under the heaven that hath been given among men, in which it behoveth us to be saved.`

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.

¹³And beholding the openness of Peter and John, and having perceived that they are men unlettered and plebeian, they were wondering — they were taking knowledge also of them that with Jesus they had been —

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

¹⁴and seeing the man standing with them who hath been healed, they had nothing to say against [it],

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

¹⁵and having commanded them to go away out of the sanhedrim, they took counsel with one another,

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.

¹⁶saying, `What shall we do to these men? because that, indeed, a notable sign hath been done through them, to all those dwelling in Jerusalem [is] manifest, and we are not able to deny [it];

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.

¹⁷but that it may spread no further toward the people, let us strictly threaten them no more to speak in this name to any man.`

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

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

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

¹⁹and Peter and John answering unto them said, `Whether it is righteous before God to hearken to you rather than to God, judge ye;

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

²⁰for we cannot but speak what we did see and hear.`

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.

²¹And they having further threatened [them], let them go, finding nothing how they may punish them, because of the people, because all were glorifying God for that which hath been done,

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

²²for above forty years of age was the man upon whom had been done this sign of the healing.

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.

²³And being let go, they went unto their own friends, and declared whatever the chief priests and the elders said unto 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,

²⁴and they having heard, with one accord did lift up the voice unto God, and said, `Lord, thou [art] God, who didst make the heaven, and the earth, and the sea, and all that [are] in them,

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

²⁵who, through the mouth of David thy servant, did say, Why did nations rage, and peoples meditate vain things?

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

²⁶the kings of the earth stood up, and the rulers were gathered together against the Lord and against His Christ;

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]

²⁷for gathered together of a truth against Thy holy child Jesus, whom Thou didst anoint, were both Herod and Pontius Pilate, with nations and peoples of Israel,

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

²⁸to do whatever Thy hand and Thy counsel did determine before to come to pass.

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

²⁹`And now, Lord, look upon their threatenings, and grant to Thy servants with all freedom to speak Thy word,

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

³⁰in the stretching forth of Thy hand, for healing, and signs, and wonders, to come to pass through the name of Thy holy child Jesus.`

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.

³¹And they having prayed, the place was shaken in which they were gathered together, and they were all filled with the Holy Spirit, and were speaking the word of God with freedom,

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.

³²and of the multitude of those who did believe the heart and the soul was one, and not one was saying that anything of the things he had was his own, but all things were to them in common.

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

³³And with great power were the apostles giving the testimony to the rising again of the Lord Jesus, great grace also was on them all,

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

³⁴for there was not any one among them who did lack, for as many as were possessors of fields, or houses, selling [them], were bringing the prices of the thing sold,

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

³⁵and were laying them at the feet of the apostles, and distribution was being made to each according as any one had need.

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.

³⁶And Joses, who was surnamed by the apostles Barnabas — which is, having been interpreted, Son of Comfort — a Levite, of Cyprus by birth,

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

³⁷a field being his, having sold [it], brought the money and laid [it] at the feet of the apostles.
