Acts 1
1 Dear Theophilus, in my previous book I wrote about all that Jesus did and taught from the beginning
Ry Teofilo, ilay boky voalohany dia nosoratako ny amin’ izay nataon’ i Jesosy sy nampianariny,
2 until the day he was taken up to heaven. This was after he'd given instructions through the Holy Spirit to his chosen apostles.
hatramin’ ny andro nampiakarana Azy, rehefa nodidiany tamin’ ny Fanahy Masìna ny Apostoly izay nofidiny,
3 Over the course of forty days after the death he suffered, he showed himself to them, proving that he was alive with convincing evidence. He appeared to them, and told them about the kingdom of God.
sady niseho koa tamin’ ny famantarana maro taorian’ ny nijaliany fa velona Izy, ka niseho taminy efa-polo andro Izy ary nilaza ny amin’ ny fanjakan’ Andriamanitra.
4 While he was still with them he instructed them, “Do not leave Jerusalem. Wait to receive what the Father promised, just as you heard it from me.
Ary raha niara-niangona teo aminy Jesosy, dia namepetra azy tsy hiala an’ i Jerosalema, fa hiandry ny teny fikasan’ ny Ray, izay efa renareo tamiko, hoy Izy;
5 It's true that John baptized with water, but in just a few days' time you will be baptized by the Holy Spirit.”
fa Jaona nanao batisa tamin’ ny rano; fa ianareo kosa hatao batisa amin’ ny Fanahy Masìna, rehefa afaka andro vitsivitsy.
6 So when the disciples met with Jesus, they asked him, “Lord, is this the time when you will re-establish Israel's kingdom?”
Koa izay tafangona teo dia nanontany Azy hoe: Tompoko, amin’ izao va no hampodianao ny fanjakana ho amin’ ny Isiraely?
7 “You don't need to know about the dates and times that are set by the Father's authority,” he told them.
Fa hoy kosa Izy taminy: Tsy anareo ny hahalala ny andro na ny fotoana izay efa notendren’ ny Ray amin’ ny fahefany ihany.
8 “But you will be given power when the Holy Spirit comes upon you, and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, throughout Judea and Samaria, and to the farthest places on earth.”
Fa hahazo hery ianareo amin’ ny hilatsahan’ ny Fanahy Masìna aminareo, ary ho vavolombeloko any Jerosalema sy eran’ i Jodia sy Samaria ary hatramin’ ny faran’ ny tany.
9 After Jesus had told them this, he was taken up as they were watching and a cloud hid him from their sight.
Ary rehefa nilaza izany Jesosy, dia nakarina Izy, raha mbola nijery izy ireo; ary nisy rahona nitondra Azy, ka tsy hitan’ ny masony intsony Izy.
10 While they were staring intently at the sky as he ascended, two men dressed in white were suddenly standing beside them.
Ary raha mbola nandinika ny lanitra izy ireo tamin’ ny nandehanan’ i Jesosy, indreo, nisy roa lahy teo anilany niakanjo akanjo fotsy,
11 “Men of Galilee, why are you standing here staring at the sky?” they asked. “This same Jesus who has been taken up from you to heaven shall come in the same way you saw him go into heaven.”
izay nanao hoe: Ry lehilahy Galiliana, nahoana no mijanona eto mijery ny lanitra ianareo? iny Jesosy Izay nampiakarina niala taminareo ho any an-danitra iny dia mbola ho avy tahaka ny nahitanareo Azy niakatra ho any an-danitra.
12 Then the disciples went back to Jerusalem from the Mount of Olives which is about a Sabbath day's walk from Jerusalem.
Ary izy ireo niverina tany Jerosalema, rehefa avy teo amin’ ny tendrombohitra atao hoe Oliva, izay akaikin’ i Jerosalema (araka izay mety haleha amin’ ny Sabata).
13 When they arrived, they went upstairs to the upper room where they were staying: Peter, John, James and Andrew; Philip and Thomas; Bartholomew and Matthew; James the son of Alphaeus, Simon the Zealot, and Judas the son of James.
Ary rehefa tafiditra izy, dia niakatra ho any an-trano ambony, izay fitoerany, ― dia Petera sy Jaona sy Jakoba sy Andrea, Filipo sy Tomasy, Bartolomeo sy Matio, Jakoba zanak’ i Alfeo, sy Simona Zelota ary Jodasy, zanak’ i Jakoba.
14 They all joined together in prayer, together with the women and Mary, Jesus' mother, and his brothers.
Ireo rehetra ireo niray saina naharitra nivavaka mbamin’ ny vehivavy sy Maria, renin’ i Jesosy, ary ny rahalahiny.
15 At this time Peter stood up and addressed a crowd of around one hundred and twenty believers who had gathered together.
Ary tamin’ izany andro izany dia nitsangana teo afovoan’ ny rahalahy Petera (tokony ho roa-polo amby zato no isan’ ny olona vory teo) ka nanao hoe:
16 “My brothers and sisters,” he said, “The Scriptures, spoken by the Holy Spirit through David, had to be fulfilled regarding Judas, who guided those who arrested Jesus.
Ry rahalahy, tsy maintsy notanterahina ilay tenin’ ny Soratra Masìna nampilazain’ ny Fanahy Masìna rahateo an’ i Davida ny amin’ i Jodasy, izay tonga mpitarika ny olona nisambotra an’ i Jesosy;
17 He was counted as one of us, and shared in this ministry.”
fa izy dia isantsika ihany ka nahazo anjara tamin’ izao fanompoana izao koa.
18 (Judas had bought a field with his ill-gotten gains. There he fell down headfirst, and his body burst apart, spilling out all his intestines.
Koa izany lehilahy izany dia nahazo saha tamin’ ny tambin’ ny fahotany; ary potraka niankohoka izy, dia vaky ny kibony ka nipoaka sady nivaroraka avokoa ny tsinainy.
19 Everybody who lived in Jerusalem heard about this so that the field was called in their language “Akeldama,” which means, “Field of blood.”)
Ary fantatr’ izay rehetra monina eto Jerosalema izany, ka ny anaran’ izany saha izany amin’ ny fiteniny dia atao hoe Akeldama, izany hoe Sahan-drà.
20 As it's written in the book of Psalms, “Let his home be abandoned, and no-one live there;” and “Let someone else take over his position.”
Fa voasoratra eo amin’ ny Bokin’ ny Salamo hoe: Aoka ho lao ny fonenany, Ary aoka tsy hisy olona honina ao; ary koa: Aoka ho lasan’ olon-kafa ny anjara-raharahany.
21 “So now we have to choose someone who has been with us the whole time that Jesus was with us,
Koa amin’ ireo lehilahy niaraka teto amintsika mandrakariva ireo, raha niditra sy nivoaka tamintsika Jesosy Tompo,
22 from the time John was baptizing up until the day Jesus was taken up to heaven from us. One of these must be chosen to join together with us as we witness, giving evidence of Jesus' resurrection.”
hatramin’ ny batisan’ i Jaona ka hatramin’ ny andro nampiakarana Azy niala tamintsika, dia tokony hisy anankiray ho namantsika mba ho vavolombelon’ ny nitsanganany.
23 Two names were put forward: Joseph Justus, also known as Barsabbas, and Matthias.
Ary nanokana roa lahy izy, dia Josefa, atao hoe Barsabasy, izay atao hoe koa Josto, ary Matia.
24 They prayed together and said, “Lord, you know everyone's thoughts please show us which of these two you have chosen
Dia nivavaka izy ka nanao hoe: Hianao, Tompo ô, Izay mahalala ny fon’ ny olona rehetra, asehoy izay nofidinao amin’ izy roa lahy ireto,
25 to replace Judas as an apostle in this ministry that he gave up to go to where he belongs.”
mba hahazoany anjara amin’ izao fanompoana sy ny mah’ Apostoly izao, izay nialan’ i Jodasy hankanesany any amin’ ny fitoerany.
26 They cast lots, and Matthias was chosen. He was counted as an apostle with the other eleven.
Dia nanao filokana ho azy izy, ka latsaka tamin’ i Matia ny filokana; ary izy no lany ho isan’ ny Apostoly iraika ambin’ ny folo lahy.
