Asan'ny Apostoly 1
Ny nifidianan'ny Apostoly ny anankiray ho namany hisolo an'i Jodasy
1 Ry Teofilo, ilay boky voalohany dia nosoratako ny amin'izay nataon'i Jesosy sy nampianariny,2 hatramin'ny andro nampiakarana Azy, rehefa nodidiany tamin'ny Fanahy Masina ny Apostoly izay nofidiny,3 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 Ary raha niara-niangonat 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 fa Jaona nanao batisa tamin'ny rano; fa ianareo kosa hatao batisa amin'ny Fanahy Masina, rehefa afaka andro vitsivitsy.6 Koa izay tafangona teo dia nanontany Azy hoe: Tompoko, amin'izao va no hampodianao ny fanjakana ho amin'ny Isiraely?7 Fa hoy kosa Izy taminy: Tsy anareo ny hahalala ny andro na ny fotoana izay efa notendren'ny Ray amin'ny fahefany ihanyt.8 Fa hahazo hery ianareo amin'ny hilatsahan'ny Fanahy Masina aminareo, ary ho vavolombeloko any Jerosalema sy eran'i Jodia sy Samaria ary hatramin'ny faran'ny tany.9 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 Ary raha mbola nandinika ny lanitra izy ireo tamin'ny nandehanan'i Jesosy, indreo, nisy roa lahy teo anilany niakanjo akanjo fotsy,11 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 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 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, zanakt'i Jakoba.
14 Ireo rehetra ireo niray saina naharitra nivavaka mbamin'ny vehivavy sy Maria, renin'i Jesosy, ary ny rahalahiny.
15 Ary tamin'izany andro izany dia nitsangana teo afovoan'ny rahalahy Petera (tokony ho roa-polo amby zato no isan'ny olonat vory teo) ka nanao hoe:16 Ry rahalahy, tsy maintsy notanterahina ilay tenin'ny Soratra Masina nampilazain'ny Fanahy Masina rahateo an'i Davida ny amin'i Jodasy, izay tonga mpitarika ny olona nisambotra an'i Jesosy;17 fa izy dia isantsika ihany ka nahazo anjara tamin'izao fanompoana izao koa.18 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 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 Fa voasoratra eo amin'ny Bokin'ny Salamo hoe: Aoka ho lao ny fonenany, Ary aoka tsy hisy olona honina ao (Sal. 69. 25); ary koa: Aoka ho lasan'olon-kafa ny anjara-raharahany (Sal. 109. 8).21 Koa amin'ireo lehilahy niaraka teto amintsika mandrakariva ireo, raha niditra sy nivoaka tamintsika Jesosy Tompo,22 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 Ary nanokana roa lahy izy, dia Josefa, atao hoe Barsabasy, izay atao hoe koa Josto, ary Matia.24 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 mba hahazoany anjara amin'izao fanompoana sy ny mah'Apostoly izao, izay nialan'i Jodasy hankanesany any amin'ny fitoerany.
26 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.
Acts 1
1 The former treatise I made, O Theophilus, concerning all that Jesus began both to do and to teach,2 until the day in which he was received up, after that he had given commandment through the Holy Spirit unto the apostles whom he had chosen:3 To whom he also showed himself alive after his passion by many proofs, appearing unto them by the space of forty days, and speaking the things concerning the kingdom of God:4 and, being assembled together with them, he charged them not to depart from Jerusalem, but to wait for the promise of the Father, which, said he, ye heard from me:5 For John indeed baptized with water; but ye shall be baptized in the Holy Spirit not many days hence.6 They therefore, when they were come together, asked him, saying, Lord, dost thou at this time restore the kingdom to Israel?7 And he said unto them, It is not for you to know times or seasons, which the Father hath set within His own authority.8 But ye shall receive power, when the Holy Spirit is come upon you: and ye shall be my witnesses both in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea and Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth.9 And when he had said these things, as they were looking, he was taken up; and a cloud received him out of their sight.10 And while they were looking stedfastly into heaven as he went, behold, two men stood by them in white apparel;11 who also said, Ye men of Galilee, why stand ye looking into heaven? this Jesus, who was received up from you into heaven shall so come in like manner as ye beheld him going into heaven.12 Then returned they unto Jerusalem from the mount called Olivet, which is nigh unto Jerusalem, a Sabbath day’s journey off.13 And when they were come in, they went up into the upper chamber, where they were abiding; both Peter and John and James and Andrew, Philip and Thomas, Bartholomew and Matthew, James the son of Alphaeus, and Simon the Zealot, and Judas the son of James.14 These all with one accord continued stedfastly in prayer, with the women, and Mary the mother of Jesus, and with his brethren.15 And in these days Peter stood up in the midst of the brethren, and said (and there was a multitude of persons gathered together, about a hundred and twenty),16 Brethren, it was needful that the Scripture should be fulfilled, which the Holy Spirit spake before by the mouth of David concerning Judas, who was guide to them that took Jesus.17 For he was numbered among us, and received his portion in this ministry.18 (Now this man obtained a field with the reward of his iniquity; and falling headlong, he burst asunder in the midst, and all his bowels gushed out.19 And it became known to all the dwellers at Jerusalem; insomuch that in their language that field was called Akeldama, that is, The field of blood.)20 For it is written in the book of Psalms, Let his habitation be made desolate, And let no man dwell therein: and, His office let another take.
21 Of the men therefore that have companied with us all the time that the Lord Jesus went in and went out among us,22 beginning from the baptism of John, unto the day that he was received up from us, of these must one become a witness with us of his resurrection.23 And they put forward two, Joseph called Barsabbas, who was surnamed Justus, and Matthias.24 And they prayed, and said, Thou, Lord, who knowest the hearts of all men, show of these two the one whom thou hast chosen,25 to take the place in this ministry and apostleship from which Judas fell away, that he might go to his own place.26 And they gave lots for them; and the lot fell upon Matthias; and he was numbered with the eleven apostles.
