¹When it happened that we had parted from them and had set sail, we came with a straight course to Cos, and the next day to Rhodes, and from there to Patara.

¹[Ary nahatongavan'i Paoly tany Jerosalema, sy ny nataony ny tsi-fitiavan'ny Kristiana tany Palestina azy] Ary rehefa tafasarika taminy izahay, dia niondrana an-tsambo ka nizotra nankany Kosy; ary nony ampitso dia tonga tao Rodo, dia niala tao nankany Patara;

²Having found a ship crossing over to Phoenicia, we went aboard, and set sail.

²ary nony nahita sambo nita ho any Foinika izahay, dia nifindra sambo teo ka lasa nandeha.

³When we had come in sight of Cyprus, leaving it on the left hand, we sailed to Syria, and landed at Tyre, for there the ship was to unload her cargo.

³Ary nony nahatsinjo an'i Kyprosy izahay, dia nandalo azy tamin'ny ankavia ka nankany Syria, dia niantsona tao Tyro; fa tao no notaterina ny entan'ny sambo.

⁴Having found disciples, we stayed there seven days. These said to Paul through the Spirit, that he should not go up to Jerusalem.

⁴Ary nony nitady ny mpianatra izahay ka nahita azy, dia nitoetra teo hafitoana; ary izy ireo dia voatsindrin'ny Fanahy hilaza amin'i Paoly mba tsy hiakatra any Jerosalema.

⁵When it happened that we had accomplished the days, we departed and went on our journey. They all, with wives and children, brought us on our way until we were out of the city. Kneeling down on the beach, we prayed.

⁵Ary rehefa tapitra izany andro izany, dia niala izahay ka lasa nandeha; ary izy rehetra mbamin'ny vadiny aman-janany dia nanatitra anay hatrany ivelan'ny tanàna; ary nandohalika teo amoron-dranomasina izahay ka nivavaka;

⁶After saying goodbye to each other, we went on board the ship, and they returned home again.

⁶ary rehefa nifanao veloma izahay, dia nirotsaka an-tsambo; fa izy ireo kosa niverina nody.

⁷When we had finished the voyage from Tyre, we arrived at Ptolemais. We greeted the brothers, and stayed with them one day.

⁷Ary ny niafaran'ny nandehananay an-tsambo dia tany Tolemaia, rehefa avy tany Tyro; ary niarahaba ny rahalahy izahay ka nitoetra teo aminy indray andro.

⁸On the next day, we, who were Paul’s companions, departed, and came to Caesarea. We entered into the house of Philip the evangelist, who was one of the seven, and stayed with him.

⁸Ary nony ampitso dia niala teo izahay ka tonga tany Kaisaria ary niditra tao an-tranon'i Filipo evanjelista, izay anankiray tamin'izy fito lahy, dia nitoetra tao aminy izahay.

⁹Now this man had four virgin daughters who prophesied.

⁹Ary izany lehilahy izany dia nanana zanakavavy virijina efatra izay naminany.

¹⁰As we stayed there some days, a certain prophet named Agabus came down from Judea.

¹⁰Ary raha nitoetra tao andro maro izahay, dia nisy mpaminany anankiray atao hoe Agabo nidina avy tany Jodia.

¹¹Coming to us, and taking Paul’s belt, he bound his own feet and hands, and said, “Thus says the Holy Spirit: ‘So will the Jews at Jerusalem bind the man who owns this belt, and will deliver him into the hands of the Gentiles.’”

¹¹Ary rehefa tonga tao aminay izy, dia noraisiny ny fehin-kibon'i Paoly, ka namatorany ny tongotra aman-tànan'ny tenany, dia hoy izy; Izao no lazain'ny Fanahy Masina: Toy izao no hamatoran'ny Jiosy any Jerosalema ny lehilahy tompon'ity fehin-kibo ity, ka hatolony ho eo an-tànan'ny jentilisa izy.

¹²When we heard these things, both we and they of that place begged him not to go up to Jerusalem.

¹²Ary raha vao renay izany, dia nangataka taminy izahay mbamin'izay nonina teo mba tsy hiakarany any Jerosalema.

¹³Then Paul answered, “What are you doing, weeping and breaking my heart? For I am ready not only to be bound, but also to die at Jerusalem for the name of the Lord Jesus.”

¹³Fa Paoly namaly ka nanao hoe: Nahoana ianareo no mitomany ka mampangorakoraka ny foko? Fa vonona aho tsy ny hafatotra ihany, fa ny ho faty any Jerosalema koa aza mba ho voninahitry ny anaran'i Jesosy Tompo.

¹⁴When he would not be persuaded, we ceased, saying, “The Lord’s will be done.”

¹⁴Ary nony tsy nanaiky izy, dia nitsahatra izahay ka nanao hoe: Aoka ny sitrapon'ny Tompo no hatao.

¹⁵After these days we took up our baggage and went up to Jerusalem.

¹⁵Ary rehefa afaka izany andro izany, dia nifehy entana izahay ka niakatra nankany Jerosalema.

¹⁶Some of the disciples from Caesarea also went with us, bringing one Mnason of Cyprus, an early disciple, with whom we would stay.

¹⁶Dia niaraka taminay koa ny mpianatra sasany avy tany Kaisaria, izay nitondra anay ho any amin'i Menasona, olona avy any Kyprosy sady mpianatra maintimolaly, izay nokasainay hitoerana.

¹⁷When we had come to Jerusalem, the brothers received us gladly.

¹⁷Ary nony tonga tany Jerosalema izahay, dia nandray anay tamin'ny fifaliana ny rahalahy.

¹⁸The day following, Paul went in with us to James; and all the elders were present.

¹⁸Ary nony ampitso dia niara-niditra tany amin'i Jakoba izahay sy Paoly; ary vory teo ny loholona rehetra. ]Gr. presbytera]

¹⁹When he had greeted them, he reported one by one the things which God had worked among the Gentiles through his ministry.

¹⁹Ary rehefa niarahaba azy Paoly, dia nilaza tsirairay ny zavatra rehetra izay efa nampanaovin'Andriamanitra azy tany amin'ny jentilisa izy.

²⁰They, when they heard it, glorified God. They said to him, “You see, brother, how many thousands there are among the Jews of those who have believed, and they are all zealous for the law.

²⁰Ary rehefa nandre izany ireo, dia nankalaza an'Andriamanitra; ary hoy koa izy tamin'i Paoly: Hitanao, rahalahy, fa tsy omby alinalina ny Jiosy izay efa mino; ary fatra-pitàna ny lalàna izy rehetra,

²¹They have been informed about you, that you teach all the Jews who are among the Gentiles to forsake Moses, telling them not to circumcise their children neither to walk after the customs.

²¹sady efa novokisan'olona ny aminao, fa ianao, hono, mampianatra ny Jiosy rehetra izay any amin'ny jentilisa hahafoy an'i Mosesy ka mandrara azy tsy hamora ny zaza na hanaraka ny fanaon-drazana.

²²What then? The assembly must certainly meet, for they will hear that you have come.

²²Ahoana ary no izy? Tsy maintsy ho reny ny nahatongavanao.

²³Therefore do what we tell you. We have four men who have taken a vow.

²³Ary noho izany dia ataovy izao lazainay aminao izao: Misy efa-dahy etỳ izay nivoady;

²⁴Take them, and purify yourself with them, and pay their expenses for them, that they may shave their heads. Then all will know that there is no truth in the things that they have been informed about you, but that you yourself also walk keeping the law.

²⁴raiso ireo ka manadiova ny tenanao miaraka aminy, ary mandoava ny vola ho lany mba hanaratany ny lohany, ka dia ho fantatry ny olona rehetra fa tsinontsinona izay zavatra namokisana azy ny aminao, fa ianao aza mandeha manaraka ny lalàna kosa.

²⁵But concerning the Gentiles who believe, we have written our decision that they should observe no such thing, except that they should keep themselves from food offered to idols, from blood, from strangled things, and from sexual immorality.”

²⁵Fa ny amin'ny jentilisa izay efa mino, dia efa nampitondra epistily izahay nandidy azy hifady ny hena aterina amin'ny sampy sy ny rà sy ny zavatra kendaina ary ny fijangajangana.

²⁶Then Paul took the men, and the next day, purified himself and went with them into the temple, declaring the fulfillment of the days of purification, until the offering was offered for every one of them.

²⁶Dia noraisin'i Paoly ireo lehilahy ireo, ary nony ampitso dia nanadio ny tenany niaraka taminy izy ka niditra teo an-kianjan'ny tempoly, nanambara ny fahatanterahan'ny andro fahadiovana mandra-panatitra ny fanatitra ho an'ny isan-dahy.

²⁷When the seven days were almost completed, the Jews from Asia, when they saw him in the temple, stirred up all the multitude and laid hands on him,

²⁷[Ny nisamborana an'i Paoly, sy ny teny nalahany tamin'izany] Ary rehefa ho tapitra ny hafitoana, dia nahita an'i Paoly teo an-kianjan'ny tempoly ny Jiosy avy tany Asia, ka nampikotaba ny vahoaka rehetra izy sady nisambotra an'i Paoly,

²⁸crying out, “Men of Israel, help! This is the man who teaches all men everywhere against the people, and the law, and this place. Moreover, he also brought Greeks into the temple, and has defiled this holy place!”

²⁸ka dia niantso hoe: Avia, ry lehilahy Isiraely, fa io no lehilahy mampianatra ny olona rehetra ombieniombieny manohitra ny olona Isiraely sy ny lalàna sy ity fitoerana ity, sady nampiditra jentilisa teo an-kianjan'ny tempoly izy ka nandoto ity fitoerana masina. [ Gr. Grika]

²⁹For they had seen Trophimus, the Ephesian, with him in the city, and they supposed that Paul had brought him into the temple.

²⁹(fa efa hitany rahateo fa niaraka taminy tao an-tanàna Trofimo Efesiana, ka nataony fa nampidirin'i Paoly teo an-kianjan'ny tempoly izy).

³⁰All the city was moved, and the people ran together. They seized Paul and dragged him out of the temple. Immediately the doors were shut.

³⁰Dia nifanaritaka be ihany ny tao an-tanàna rehetra, ka nihazakazaka nivory ny olona; ary Paoly dia nosamboriny ka nosarihany hiala eo an-kianjan'ny tempoly; ary niaraka tamin'izay dia narindrina ny vavahady.

³¹As they were trying to kill him, news came up to the commanding officer of the regiment that all Jerusalem was in an uproar.

³¹Ary raha nitady hamono azy ny olona, dia nisy teny nakarina tany amin'ny mpifehy arivo tamin'ny antokon'ny miaramila nilaza fa mikotaba avokoa Jerosalema rehetra;

³²Immediately he took soldiers and centurions, and ran down to them. They, when they saw the chief captain and the soldiers, stopped beating Paul.

³²ary niaraka tamin'izay dia naka miaramila sy kapiteny izy ka nihazakazaka nidina nankeo aminy; ary raha nahita ny mpifehy arivo sy ny miaramila ny olona, dia nitsahatra tsy nikapoka an'i Paoly.

³³Then the commanding officer came near, arrested him, commanded him to be bound with two chains, and inquired who he was and what he had done.

³³Ary ny mpifehy arivo nanakaiky, dia nisambotra azy ka nandidy hamatotra ary tamin'ny gadra roa, dia nanontany hoe: Iza moa izy, ary inona moa no nataony?

³⁴Some shouted one thing, and some another, among the crowd. When he couldn’t find out the truth because of the noise, he commanded him to be brought into the barracks.

³⁴Ary ny sasany tamin'ny olona maro niantso mafy nilaza zavatra iray, ary ny sasany kosa zavatra hafa; ary rehefa tsy azony nofantarina izay marina noho ny fikotranana, dia nasainy nentina ho any anati-rova Paoly.

³⁵When he came to the stairs, it happened that he was carried by the soldiers because of the violence of the crowd;

³⁵Ary rehefa tonga teo amin'ny ambaratonga izy, dia nobetain'ny miaramila noho ny fifanosehan'ny olona;

³⁶for the multitude of the people followed after, crying out, “Away with him!”

³⁶fa ny olona maro nanaraka ka niantso hoe: Vonoy ilehio!

³⁷As Paul was about to be brought into the barracks, he asked the commanding officer, “May I speak to you?” He said, “Do you know Greek?

³⁷Ary rehefa nentiny tany anati-rova Paoly, dia hoy izy tamin'ny mpifehy arivo: Mahazo miteny aminao va aho? Dia hoy izy: Mahay teny Grika va ianao?

³⁸Aren’t you then the Egyptian, who before these days stirred up to sedition and led out into the wilderness the four thousand men of the Assassins?”

³⁸Moa tsy ianao va ilay Egyptiana, izay nampikomy ny olona fahiny ka nitarika ny efatra arivo lahy mpitondra lefom-pohy nankany an-efitra?

³⁹But Paul said, “I am a Jew, from Tarsus in Cilicia, a citizen of no insignificant city. I beg you, allow me to speak to the people.”

³⁹Fa hoy Paoly: Izaho Jiosy avy any Tarsosy any Kilikia, tompon-tany amin'izay tanàna tsy kely laza; koa trarantitra ianao, aoka aho mba hiteny amin'ny olona.Ary Paoly, rehefa navelany, dia nitsangana teo amin'ny ambaratonga ka nanofa tanana tamin'ny olona. Ary rehefa nangina tsara ny olona, dia niteny mafy tamin'ny teny Hebreo izy ka nanao hoe:

⁴⁰When he had given him permission, Paul, standing on the stairs, beckoned with his hand to the people. When there was a great silence, he spoke to them in the Hebrew language, saying,

⁴⁰Ary Paoly, rehefa navelany, dia nitsangana teo amin'ny ambaratonga ka nanofa tanana tamin'ny olona. Ary rehefa nangina tsara ny olona, dia niteny mafy tamin'ny teny Hebreo izy ka nanao hoe:
