< Acts 10 >

1 Now there was a certain man in Caesarea, Cornelius by name, a centurion of what was called the Italian Regiment,
Te Kaisaria añe t’indaty atao Kornelio, mpifehe zato amy firimboñañe atao nte-Italiy.
2 a devout man, and one who feared God with all his house, who gave gifts for the needy generously to the people, and always prayed to God.
Ie ondaty vañoñe naho mpañeveñe aman’ Añahare rekets’ o añ’anjomba’e iabio, naho mpanolotse falalàñe am-patarihañe amo rarakeo vaho mpitalaho aman’ Añahare.
3 At about the ninth hour of the day, he clearly saw in a vision an angel of God coming to him and saying to him, “Cornelius!”
Aa ie va’e amy ora faha-sive’ i àndroiy te nioni’e malange añ’ aroñaroñe ty anjelin’ Añahare nisodehañe ama’e nanao ty hoe: O Kornelio!
4 He, fastening his eyes on him and being frightened, said, “What is it, Lord?” He said to him, “Your prayers and your gifts to the needy have gone up for a memorial before God.
Ie niisa’ i Kornelio le nianifañe vaho hoe ty natoi’e: Akore Roandriañeo? Le hoe re tama’e: Fa nionjoñe hoe banabana faniahiañe aman’ Añahare o fitalahoa’oo naho o falalà’oo.
5 Now send men to Joppa, and get Simon, who is also called Peter.
Aa le mañitrifa ondaty mb’e Jopa añe vaho kanjio ty atao Si­mona, i Petera ka ty añara’e.
6 He is staying with a tanner named Simon, whose house is by the seaside.
Ie mañialo amy Simona mpandon-kolitse ao; añ’olo-driake ey ty anjomba’e.
7 When the angel who spoke to him had departed, Cornelius called two of his household servants and a devout soldier of those who waited on him continually.
Ie nienga i Kornelio i anjely nisaontsy ama’ey, le kinanji’e ty roe amo mpitoro’eo naho ty lahin-defo’e mpañorike Hake amo mpiatrak’ azeo,
8 Having explained everything to them, he sent them to Joppa.
le hene natalili’e vaho nampihitrife’e mb’e Jopa añe.
9 Now on the next day as they were on their journey and got close to the city, Peter went up on the housetop to pray at about noon.
Amy loak-androy, ie mbe an-dalañe nañarivo i rovay, le niañambone mb’an-tafo mb’eo t’i Petera hitalaho ami’ty ora fah’ eneñe.
10 He became hungry and desired to eat, but while they were preparing, he fell into a trance.
Ndra nisaliko re te hikama, fe mbe nihalankañeñe, vaho niaroñaroñe.
11 He saw heaven opened and a certain container descending to him, like a great sheet let down by four corners on the earth,
Zoe’e te nisokafeñe i likerañey naho nizotso ty raha jabajaba hoe lamba, nazetse mb’ an-tane atoy an-ko­tso’e efatse.
12 in which were all kinds of four-footed animals of the earth, wild animals, reptiles, and birds of the sky.
Ama’e ao ze fonga bibi’ ty tane toy aman-tomboke efatse naho ze raha milaly, vaho voron-dikerañe.
13 A voice came to him, “Rise, Peter, kill and eat!”
Le niheo ama’e ty fiarañanañañe nanao ty hoe: Miongaha Petera; lentao vaho mikamà.
14 But Peter said, “Not so, Lord; for I have never eaten anything that is common or unclean.”
Fa hoe t’i Petera, Sondo’e amako Rañandria! Mbe liako tsy nitsopeke raha faly ndra maloto.
15 A voice came to him again the second time, “What God has cleansed, you must not call unclean.”
Inao i fiarañanañañey fañindroe’e: Ko atao faly ze fa nilioven’ Añahare.
16 This was done three times, and immediately the thing was received up into heaven.
Nanoeñe in-telo zay vaho rinambe andindìñe ao i rahay.
17 Now while Peter was very perplexed in himself what the vision which he had seen might mean, behold, the men who were sent by Cornelius, having made inquiry for Simon’s house, stood before the gate,
Ie naereñere’ i Petera ty foto’ i aroñaroñe nioni’ey, inay indaty nirahe’ i Kornelio rey, nañontane i anjomba’ i Simonay ie fa nijohañe an-dalam-bey eo
18 and called and asked whether Simon, who was also called Peter, was lodging there.
nikanjy, nañontane he imoneña’ i Simona atao Petera.
19 While Peter was pondering the vision, the Spirit said to him, “Behold, three men seek you.
Ie mbe nitsakore i aroñaroñey t’i Petera, le hoe i Arofoy ama’e: Inay, ipaia’ t’indaty telo;
20 But arise, get down, and go with them, doubting nothing; for I have sent them.”
miongaha, mizo­tsoa mb’ ambane ao, le ko mihakahaka fa indrezo; zaho ty nañitrike iareo.
21 Peter went down to the men, and said, “Behold, I am he whom you seek. Why have you come?”
Ni­zotso mb’am’ indaty rey t’i Petera, le nanao ty hoe, Zaho ty paia’ areo, ino ty talin-dia’ areo mb’etoa?
22 They said, “Cornelius, a centurion, a righteous man and one who fears God, and well spoken of by all the nation of the Jews, was directed by a holy angel to invite you to his house, and to listen to what you say.”
Hoe iareo: i Kornelio, mpifehe zato, ondaty vañoñe naho mpañeveñe aman’ Añahare, soa talily amy ze hene Jiosy, nitoroa’ ty anjely masiñe ty hañitrik’ azo homb’ añ’ anjomba’e añe hijanjiña’e tsara.
23 So he called them in and provided a place to stay. On the next day Peter arose and went out with them, and some of the brothers from Joppa accompanied him.
Aa le nampihovae’ i Petera vaho nanoe’e añ’anjomba. Ie amy loak’ àndroy, niavotse le nindre fañavelo am’iereo t’i Petera, naho nitrao-lia ama’e ty ila’ o roahalahy nte Jopao,
24 On the next day they entered into Caesarea. Cornelius was waiting for them, having called together his relatives and his near friends.
vaho nandoake e Kaisaria ao ami’ty loak’ andro. Nitamà iareo t’i Korne­lio le fa natonto’e o longo’eo naho o rañe’eo.
25 When Peter entered, Cornelius met him, fell down at his feet, and worshiped him.
Nizilike t’i Petera le nanalaka aze t’i Kornelio naho nitongalek’ am-pandia’e eo niambane ama’e.
26 But Peter raised him up, saying, “Stand up! I myself am also a man.”
F’ie nampiongahe’ i Petera ami’ty hoe: Miongaha, ondaty ka raho.
27 As he talked with him, he went in and found many gathered together.
Ie nifanaontsy, le nizilik’ ao nitendreke ondaty maro tafavory.
28 He said to them, “You yourselves know how it is an unlawful thing for a man who is a Jew to join himself or come to one of another nation, but God has shown me that I should not call any man unholy or unclean.
Hoe re tama’e: Fohi’ areo te talia faly amy t’indaty Jiosy ty hitraoke ndra hitilike ondaty hafa razañe. Fe natoron’ Añahare ahy te tsy hataoko tsotra ndra maloto ze ondaty.
29 Therefore I also came without complaint when I was sent for. I ask therefore, why did you send for me?”
Aa le tsy niliereko ty homb’ eto te nikanjieñe, ie amy zao añontaneako anahareo ty talim-pañitrifañ’ ahiko?
30 Cornelius said, “Four days ago, I was fasting until this hour; and at the ninth hour, I prayed in my house, and behold, a man stood before me in bright clothing
Le hoe t’i Kornelio: Ie efats’ andro zay ami’ty ora zao, zaho nilolok’ an-trañoko ao ami’ty ora faha-sive, le naheoko nijohañe añatrefako eo t’indaty an-tsaroñe mireandreañe,
31 and said, ‘Cornelius, your prayer is heard, and your gifts to the needy are remembered in the sight of God.
le hoe re: O Kornelio, jinanjiñe i filolofa’oy, vaho tiahy añatrefan’ Añahare o fatariha’oo.
32 Send therefore to Joppa and summon Simon, who is also called Peter. He is staying in the house of a tanner named Simon, by the seaside. When he comes, he will speak to you.’
Aa le ampañitrifo e Jopa añe t’i Simona atao Petera, mitobok’ añ’ anjomba’ i Simona mpandòñ’ angozy, añ’ olo-driak’ ao.
33 Therefore I sent to you at once, and it was good of you to come. Now therefore we are all here present in the sight of God to hear all things that have been commanded you by God.”
Le nampihitrifeko amy zao, vaho nahasoa anay ty fitotsaha’o atoy. Intoañe iaby zahay añatrefan’ Añahare hitsendreñe ze hene saontsy nandilia’ i Talè azo.
34 Peter opened his mouth and said, “Truly I perceive that God does not show favoritism;
Aa le nanoka-palie t’i Petera, nanao ty hoe: Toe oniñe henaneo te tsy mirihy ondaty t’i Andrianañahare,
35 but in every nation he who fears him and works righteousness is acceptable to him.
te mone no’e ze ondaty mañeveñe ama’e naho mitoloñe an-kavantañañe, ndra fifeheañ’ aia aia ty imoneña’e.
36 The word which he sent to the children of Israel, preaching good news of peace by Jesus Christ—he is Lord of all—
I tsara niraheñe amo ana’ Israeleoy mitaroñe fifampilon­goañe añam’ Iesoà Norizañey (Ie ro Talè ze he’e):
37 you yourselves know what happened, which was proclaimed throughout all Judea, beginning from Galilee, after the baptism which John preached;
Fohi’areo ze raha nañatseke Iehodà, nifototse e Galilia, ie fa añe ty fandiporañe nitaroñe’ i Jaonay—
38 how God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Spirit and with power, who went about doing good and healing all who were oppressed by the devil, for God was with him.
ty nañorizan’ Añahare Iesoà nte Nazareta amy Arofo Masiñey naho an-kaozarañe, ie nimbeo mbeo nanao soa naho nampijangañe ze fonga niforekekè’ i Ratiy, amy te nañimba aze t’i Andrianañahare.
39 We are witnesses of everything he did both in the country of the Jews and in Jerusalem; whom they also killed, hanging him on a tree.
Valolombeloñe amy ze hene nanoe’e an-tanen-Jiosy naho e Ierosaleme ao zahay, ie vinono’ iareo ami’ty nampiradoradoañ’ aze an-katae,
40 God raised him up the third day and gave him to be revealed,
f’ie natroan’ Añahare amy havilasiy ami’ty andro fahatelo le naboa’e ho vazoho,
41 not to all the people, but to witnesses who were chosen before by God, to us, who ate and drank with him after he rose from the dead.
tsy ze fonga ondaty, fa o valolombeloñe jinobon’ Añahare aoloo, zahay nitrao-pikama naho finoñe ama’e ie fa nitroatse amy havilasiy.
42 He commanded us to preach to the people and to testify that this is he who is appointed by God as the Judge of the living and the dead.
Le linili’e hitaroñe am’ondatio zahay, hitalily an-katò t’ie i norizan’ Añahare ho mpizaka o veloñeo naho o vilasioy.
43 All the prophets testify about him, that through his name everyone who believes in him will receive remission of sins.”
Ie ty taroñe’ ze mpitoky iaby, te i tahina’e ty handrambesa’ ze hene miato ama’e fañahan-kakeo.
44 While Peter was still speaking these words, the Holy Spirit fell on all those who heard the word.
Ie mbe nisaontsy izay t’i Petera, le nivotrak’ amo nahajanjiñe i tsaraio i Arofo Masiñey.
45 They of the circumcision who believed were amazed, as many as came with Peter, because the gift of the Holy Spirit was also poured out on the Gentiles.
Fonga nilatsa o mpiato sinavatse nindre amy Peterao, amy te nadoañe amo kilakila ondatio ka ty falalà’ i Arofo Masiñey,
46 For they heard them speaking in other languages and magnifying God. Then Peter answered,
ie jinanji’ iareo te nilikoliko naho nandrenge an’ Andrianañahare, le hoe t’i Petera:
47 “Can anyone forbid these people from being baptized with water? They have received the Holy Spirit just like us.”
Ia ty handrara rano am’ iretoañe tsy hilipotse? ie rinambe’ iereo manahak’ antika i Arofo Masiñey!
48 He commanded them to be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ. Then they asked him to stay some days.
Aa le linili’e t’ie ho liporeñe amy tahina’ i Talè Iesoày; le nihalalie’ iereo t’ie hañialo ao andro tsy ampeampe.
