Acts 8
1 And Saul was consenting unto his death. And at that time there was a great persecution against the church which was at Jerusalem; and they were all scattered abroad throughout the regions of Judaea and Samaria, except the apostles.
Ninò’ i Saole ty nañitoañe aze. Nifototse amy andro zay ty fisamporeraham-bey amy Fivory e Ierosalemey vaho niparatsiake mb’eo mb’eo e Iehodà naho e Samaria añe iaby, naho tsy o Firàheñeo avao.
2 And devout men carried Stephen to his burial, and made great lamentation over him.
Nandenteke i Stefana ondaty vañoñeo vaho nipoña-pandalàñe.
3 As for Saul, he made havoc of the church, entering into every house, and haling men and women committed them to prison.
Fe nampivalitaboak’ i Fivoriy t’i Saole, nitsatsak’ anjomba, nimoake, vaho nikozozòtse ty lahy naho ampela mb’am-porozò ao.
4 Therefore they that were scattered abroad went every where preaching the word. (logos)
Aa le nitaroñe i tsaray mbeo mbeo o niparaitakeo.
5 Then Philip went down to the city of Samaria, and preached Christ unto them.
Nizotso mb’ an-drova Samaria mb’eo t’i Filipo nitaroñe i Norizañey.
6 And the people with one accord gave heed unto those things which Philip spoke, hearing and seeing the miracles which he did.
Songa nihaòñe’ ondatio o saontsi’ i Filipoo, ie nijanjiñe naho nahaisake o viloñe fanjaka nanoe’eo.
7 For unclean spirits, (pneuma) crying with loud voice, came out of many that were possessed with them: and many taken with palsies, and that were lame, were healed.
Nihorentseñe an-tazataza ty kokolampa tsiefa nakareñe am’ondaty nitokoe’eo, naho maro ty kombo vaho ty kepeke nijangañe.
8 And there was great joy in that city.
Le firebeham-bey ty tan-drova ao.
9 But there was a certain man, called Simon, which in time past in the same city used sorcery, and bewitched the people of Samaria, giving out that himself was some great one:
Tamy rovay henane zay t’indaty atao Simona mpanao sahàtse, nahalatsa o nte Samariao, ie nieva ho aman’ àsiñe,
10 To whom they all gave heed, from the least to the greatest, saying, This man is the great power of God.
nihaoñe’ ze hene ondaty, ty bey naho ty kede, le nanao ty hoe: Haozaran-dra’ elahin’ añahare ondaty zay.
11 And to him they had regard, because that of long time he had bewitched them with sorceries.
Hene nañorik’ aze ondatio amy te ela ty namoreha’e amo sahàtse fanoe’eo.
12 But when they believed Philip preaching the things concerning the kingdom of God, and the name of Jesus Christ, they were baptized, both men and women.
Aa ie niantofa’ iareo t’i Filipo amy nitaroña’e i talili-soa’ i Fifehean’Añahareiy naho ty tahina’ Iesoà Norizañey, le nilipotse: ondaty naho rakemba.
13 Then Simon himself believed also: and when he was baptized, he continued with Philip, and wondered, beholding the miracles and signs which were done.
Toe niantoke ka t’i Simona le nalipotse, vaho nañorik’ i Filipo sikal’aia sikal’aia fa nilatsa t’ie nahaisake o viloñe fanjaka naho raha tsi-tantane nanoeñeo.
14 Now when the apostles which were at Jerusalem heard that Samaria had received the word (logos) of God, they sent unto them Peter and John:
Ie jinanji’ o Firàheñe e Ierosalemeo te niantoke ty tsaran’ Añahare o nte Samariao, le nañirake i Petera naho i Jaona homb’am’iereo añe.
15 Who, when they were come down, prayed for them, that they might receive the Holy Spirit: (pneuma)
Ie nizotso mb’eo le nihalaly ho a’ iareo, handrambesa’e i Arofo Masiñey;
16 (For as yet he was fallen upon none of them: only they were baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus.)
ie mbe tsy nivotraha’e; fa ami’ty tahina’ Iesoà Talè avao ty nampiliporañe iareo.
17 Then laid they their hands on them, and they received the Holy Spirit. (pneuma)
Aa le nanampeza’ i Petera naho i Jaona fitañe handrambesa’ iereo i Arofo Masiñey.
18 And when Simon saw that through laying on of the apostles' hands the Holy Spirit (pneuma) was given, he offered them money,
Aa ie nioni’ i Simona te i fampitongoam-pità’ o Firaheñeoy ro nanolorañe i Arofo Masiñey le nibanabana’e drala,
19 Saying, Give me also this power, that on whomsoever I lay hands, he may receive the Holy Spirit. (pneuma)
ami’ty hoe: Anoloro ahy ka o haozarañe zao soa te, ndra iaia hanampezako tañañe ro handrambe i Arofo Masiñey.
20 But Peter said unto him, Your money perish with you, because you have thought that the gift of God may be purchased with money.
Hoe ty natoi’ i Petera aze: Hindre hikoromak’ ama’o o drala’oo kanao sinafiri’o te ho vilie’o drala ty falalàn’ Añahare!
21 You have neither part nor lot in this matter: (logos) for your heart is not right in the sight of God.
Tsy aman’ anjara, naho tsy mitraok’ ami’ty tsara toy rehe, fa tsy vañoñe añatrefan’ Añahare ty tro’o.
22 Repent therefore of this your wickedness, and pray God, if perhaps the thought of your heart may be forgiven you.
Mibaboha amy haloloañey, naho misolohoa amy Iehovà, he mete ihahàñe amy fitsakorean-tro’oy,
23 For I perceive that you are in the gall of bitterness, and in the bond of iniquity.
amy te rendreko t’ie aman-kafairan’ afero vaho androhizan-kakeo.
24 Then answered Simon, and said, Pray all of you to the LORD for me, that none of these things which all of you have spoken come upon me.
Aa le tinoi’ i Simona ty hoe: Mihalalia amy Iehovà ho ahy, ry aba te tsy hizò ahy i nisaontsia’areoy.
25 And they, when they had testified and preached the word (logos) of the Lord, returned to Jerusalem, and preached the gospel in many villages of the Samaritans.
Aa ie fa nitaroñe naho nitsey ty tsara’ Iehovà, le nibalike mb’e Ierosaleme mb’eo t’i Petera naho i Jaona, nitsey i talili-soay ami’ty rova maro’ o nte-Samariao.
26 And the angel of the Lord spoke unto Philip, saying, Arise, and go toward the south unto the way that goes down from Jerusalem unto Gaza, which is desert.
Ie amy zay, nitsara ty hoe amy Filipo ty anjeli’ Iehovà: Mañatimoa mb’amy lalañe mizotso hirike Ierosaleme mb’e Gaza mb’amy ratraratray mb’eoy.
27 And he arose and went: and, behold, a man of Ethiopia, an eunuch of great authority under Candace queen of the Ethiopians, who had the charge of all her treasure, and had come to Jerusalem in order to worship,
Aa le niongake nañavelo mb’eo re, naho naheo’e ty nte Etiopia doga-lahy mpanandily bey amy Kandasie mpanjaka-ampela’ o nte Etiopiao naho mpamandroñe o vara’e iabio, ie nañavelo mb’e Ierosaleme mb’eo nitalaho,
28 Was returning, and sitting in his chariot read Isaiah the prophet.
naho nibalike amy zao niambesatse an-tsarete’e ao namaky Isaia mpitoky.
29 Then the Spirit (pneuma) said unto Philip, Go near, and join yourself to this chariot.
Le hoe i Arofoy amy Filipo, Harineo o sarete ey hoeke eio naho ireketo.
30 And Philip ran thither to him, and heard him read the prophet Isaiah, and said, Understand you what you read?
Nihitrike mb’eo t’i Filipo naho nahajanjiñe aze namaky Isaia mpitoky, le hoe re: Fohi’o hao o vakie’oo?
31 And he said, How can I, except some man should guide me? And he desired Philip that he would come up and sit with him.
Aa hoe re, Aia ty haharendrehako naho tsy amam-panoro? Aa le nampihovàe’e hijoñe ao t’i Filipo hitrao-piambesatse.
32 The place of the scripture which he read was this, He was led as a sheep to the slaughter; and like a lamb dumb before his shearer, so opened he not his mouth:
Ty hoe i nivakie’e amy Sokitse Masiñeiy: Kinozozòtse hoe añondry ho lentaen-dre, Le hambañe ami’ty fitsiña’ ty vik’añondry añatrefa’ o mpañitsik’ azeo, t’ie tsy nanoka-palie.
33 In his humiliation his judgment was taken away: and who shall declare his generation? for his life is taken from the earth.
Nareke naho tsy nimean-tò; Ia ty haha-volily o tarira’eo, amy te nasitak’an-tane atoy ty havelo’e;
34 And the eunuch answered Philip, and said, I pray you, of whom speaks the prophet this? of himself, or of some other man?
Aa hoe ty ontane’ i doga-lahiy amy Filipo: Ehe, ia ty isaontsia’ i mpitokiy, ty vata’e ke ty ila’e?
35 Then Philip opened his mouth, and began at the same scripture, and preached unto him Jesus.
Le nanoka-palie t’i Filipo nifototse amy pinatetse amy Sokitse Masiñeiy, nitalily Iesoà.
36 And as they went on their way, they came unto a certain water: and the eunuch said, See, here is water; what does hinder me to be baptized?
Ie nañavelo mb’eo, le nizo rano vaho hoe i doga-lahiy, Intia ty rano, ino ty manebañe ahy tsy halipotse?
37 And Philip said, If you believe with all of your heart, you may. And he answered and said, I believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God.
38 And he commanded the chariot to stand still: and they went down both into the water, both Philip and the eunuch; and he baptized him.
Aa le linili’e te hitsangañe i saretey naho sindre nijoñe an-drano ao iereon-droroe, i doga-lahiy naho i Filipo, vaho nalipo’e.
39 And when they were come up out of the water, the Spirit (pneuma) of the Lord caught away Philip, that the eunuch saw him no more: and he went on his way rejoicing.
Ie nitroatse amy ranoy le nampihelañe’ i Arofo Masiñey añe t’i Filipo vaho tsy nioni’ i doga-lahiy ka, fe tinonjohi’e an-drebeke i lia’ey.
40 But Philip was found at Azotus: and passing through he preached in all the cities, till he came to Caesarea.
Nizoeñe Azota añe t’i Filipo; le niranga mb’eo re nitolom-pitaroñe i talili-soay amy ze hene rova ampara’ t’ie nandoak’ e Kaisaria añe.
