Acts 15
1 And certain men, who came down from Judea, taught the brothers, Unless ye will be circumcised in the custom of Moses, ye cannot be saved.
Kèk mesye soti nan peyi Jide rive lavil Antiòch. Yo t'ap moutre frè yo yon bann bagay, yo t'ap di: Bondye p'ap kapab delivre nou si yo pa sikonsi nou, jan lalwa Moyiz mande l' la.
2 Therefore, no small dissension and debate having developed with Paul and Barnabas against them, they appointed Paul and Barnabas, and some other men from them, to go up to Jerusalem to the apostles and elders in Jerusalem about this issue.
Pòl ak Banabas pa t' dakò menm ak moun sa yo. Sa te fè yon gwo diskisyon. Se konsa, frè yo deside voye Pòl, Banabas ansanm ak kèk lòt moun Antiòch moute Jerizalèm pou regle keksyon sa a ak apòt yo ansanm ak chèf fanmi yo.
3 Indeed therefore, having been helped for the trip by the congregation, they passed through Phoenicia and Samaria, describing the conversion of the Gentiles. And they caused great joy to all the brothers.
Se legliz la ki te voye yo fè vwayaj sa a. Yo pase nan Finisi ak nan Samari. Sou tout wout la, yo t'ap rakonte ki jan moun ki pa jwif yo te tounen vin jwenn Bondye. Tout frè yo te kontan anpil lè yo tande sa.
4 And after arriving in Jerusalem, they were received by the church and the apostles and the elders. And they reported as many things as God did with them.
Lè yo rive Jerizalèm, tout legliz la, apòt yo ak chèf fanmi yo te byen resevwa yo. Pòl ak Banabas rakonte moun Jerizalèm yo tou sa Bondye te ba yo pouvwa fè pou li.
5 But some of the men who believed from the sect of the Pharisees rose up, saying, It is necessary to circumcise them, and to command them to keep the law of Moses.
Se lè sa a kèk disip, ansyen patizan farizyen yo, kanpe, yo di: Se pou n' sikonsi moun lòt nasyon yo tou. Se pou n' mande yo pou yo obeyi lalwa Moyiz la tou.
6 And the apostles and the elders were assembled together to see about this matter.
Apòt yo ak chèf fanmi yo sanble pou egzaminen keksyon an.
7 And when much debate occurred, Peter having risen up, he said to them, Men, brothers, ye know that from past days among us, God chose the Gentiles to hear through my mouth the word of the good news, and to believe.
Lè yo fin diskite kont yo, Pyè kanpe, li di yo: Frè m' yo, nou konnen ki jan, depi lontan, Bondye te chwazi m' nan nou tout pou m' anonse bon nouvèl la bay moun lòt nasyon yo, pou yo menm tou, yo ka tande l' pou yo rive kwè nan Bondye.
8 And God, who knows the heart, testified to them, having given them the Holy Spirit, just as also to us.
Enben, Bondye ki konnen sa ki nan kè moun, li moutre nou ki jan li menm li asepte yo: li ba yo Sentespri menm jan li te fè l' pou nou an.
9 And he made not one distinction between both us and them, having purified their hearts by faith.
Li pa t' fè okenn diferans ant yo menm ak nou menm: nou wè li lave kè yo paske yo te kwè nan li.
10 Now therefore why do ye challenge God, to place a yoke upon the neck of the disciples, which neither our fathers nor we were able to bear?
Koulye a, poukisa pou n'ap seye fè plan ak Bondye konsa, lè nou vle fè disip yo pote yon chay ni zansèt nou ni nou menm nou pa t' ka pote?
11 But through the grace of the Lord Jesus, we believe to be saved, in the same way as those men also.
Okontrè, nou kwè se yon favè Jezikri fè nou lè l' delivre nou, menm jan li fè l' pou yo tou.
12 And all the multitude kept silent, and they heard Barnabas and Paul describing how many signs and wonders God did among the Gentiles through them.
Apre sa, tout moun pe bouch yo, yo t'ap koute Banabas ak Pòl ki t'ap rakonte tout bèl bagay ak tout mirak Bondye te ba yo pouvwa fè pou li nan mitan moun lòt nasyon yo.
13 And after they were quiet, James answered, saying, Men, brothers, hear me.
Lè yo fin pale, Jak pran lapawòl, li di: Frè m' yo, koute mwen.
14 Simeon described how God first came to help, to take from the Gentiles a people for his name.
Simon fèk esplike nou ki jan, depi nan konmansman, Bondye te pran swen moun lòt nasyon yo pou l' te ka chwazi nan mitan yo yon pèp ki pou pote non li.
15 And to this the words of the prophets agree, as it is written,
Sou pwen sa a, pawòl pwofèt yo dakò nèt. Men sa ki ekri nan Liv la:
16 After these things I will return, and I will rebuild the tabernacle of David that has fallen. And I will rebuild the things of it that have been demolished, and I will restore it,
Apre sa, m'a retounen. Se Bondye k'ap pale. M'a rebati kay David la ki te fin tonbe, m'a repare mazi li yo, m'a kanpe kay li a ankò.
17 so that the rest of men might seek the Lord, and all the Gentiles upon whom my name is called upon them, says the Lord, who does these things.
Konsa, tout lòt moun yo va chache Bondye, ansanm ak tout nasyon mwen chwazi pou pote non mwen.
Men sa Bondye di. Se li menm ki fè nou konnen bagay sa yo depi lontan. (aiōn g165)
19 Therefore I judge not to trouble those from the Gentiles who are turning to God,
Se poutèt sa, mwen menm, Jak, mwen kwè nou pa dwe antrave moun lòt nasyon yo ki vin jwenn Bondye.
20 but to write to them, to abstain from the pollutions of idols, and from fornication, and from what is strangled, and from blood.
Men, ann ekri yo, ann mande yo pou yo pa manje vyann bèt yo te ofri pou touye pou zidòl, pou yo egzante tout dezòd lachè, pou yo pa manje ni vyann bèt ki mouri toufe, ni san.
21 For Moses from generations past, has from city to city those who preach him, being read in the synagogues on every sabbath.
Paske, depi lontan lontan, y'ap fè konnen lalwa Moyiz la nan tout lavil yo. Se chak jou repo y'ap li l' pou yo nan sinagòg yo.
22 Then it was decided by the apostles and the elders, with the whole assembly, to send men chosen from them to Antioch with Paul and Barnabas, namely, Judas called Barsabbas, and Silas, leading men among the brothers,
Lè sa a, apòt yo, chèf fanmi yo ansanm ak tout legliz la deside pou yo chwazi kèk moun pami yo ki pou vwayaje al Antiòch ansanm ak Pòl ak Banabas. Yo chwazi Jid, ki te rele Basabas, ak Silas, de moun frè yo te respekte anpil.
23 after writing by their hand these things: The apostles, and the elders, and the brothers, to those down in Antioch and Syria and Cilicia, to the brothers of the Gentiles, greeting.
Yo te ba yo lèt sa a pote ale: Apòt yo ak chèf fanmi yo, ki frè nou, voye bonjou pou tout frè nan moun lòt nasyon yo k'ap viv nan lavil Antiòch, nan peyi Siri ak nan peyi Silisi.
24 Since we have heard that certain men who went out from us have troubled you with words, disturbing your souls, saying to be circumcised, and to keep the law, to whom we did not command,
Nou te vin konnen te gen moun ki soti bò isit la al lakay nou. Yo pa t' manke boulvèse nou, yo pa t' manke fatige nou ak pawòl yo t'ap di. Men, nou menm nou pa t' ba yo okenn lòd konsa.
25 it was decided by us, having become unanimous, to send chosen men to you with our beloved Barnabas and Paul,
Se poutèt sa, nou tout ki isit la, nou tonbe dakò pou nou chwazi kèk delege n'ap voye bò kote nou. Y'ap vwayaje ansanm ak Pòl ak Banabas, de frè nou renmen anpil,
26 men who have given over their lives for the name of our Lord Jesus Christ.
ki te riske lavi yo pou non Jezikri, Seyè nou an.
27 We have therefore sent Judas and Silas, themselves also declaring the same things by speech.
Se konsa, nou voye Jid ak Silas ki va ban nou menm mesaj la ak pwòp bouch yo.
28 For it was decided by the Holy Spirit, and by us, to lay upon you not one greater burden than these necessary things:
Pou Sentespri a ak pou nou menm, men sa nou jwenn ki bon pou di nan keksyon sa a: Nou p'ap mete lòt chay sou zepòl nou pase sa n' dwe mete.
29 to abstain from things sacrificed to idols, and from blood, and from things strangled, and from fornication, keeping yourselves from which, ye will do well. Be strong.
Pa manje vyann bèt ki te ofri pou zidòl, pa manje san, pa manje vyann bèt ki mouri toufe, egzante tout dezòd lachè. N'a fè byen si nou pa fè bagay sa yo. Bondye ak nou!
30 Indeed therefore after being dismissed, they came to Antioch, and having gathered the multitude together, they delivered the letter.
Apre sa, moun legliz Jerizalèm yo kite delege yo ale. Delege yo pati pou Antiòch. Lè yo rive, yo sanble tout moun ki te kwè yo, yo renmèt yo lèt la.
31 And after reading it, they rejoiced for the encouragement.
Lè yo fin li lèt la pou yo, tout moun te kontan pou bèl ankourajman lèt la te pote ba yo.
32 And Judas and Silas, being themselves also prophets, exhorted the brothers by much speech, and strengthened them.
Jid ak Silas te de pwofèt. Yo pale lontan avèk frè yo, yo ba yo kont ankourajman ak fòs.
33 And after spending some time, they were dismissed with peace from the brothers to the apostles.
Yo pase kèk tan nan lavil Antiòch. Apre sa, frè yo swate yo bòn vwayaj ak kè poze. Yo menm, yo tounen ale jwenn moun ki te voye yo.
34 [This verse is not in the majority of the Greek manuscripts.]
Men, Silas te pran desizyon pou l' te rete.
35 But Paul and Barnabas continued in Antioch, teaching and preaching good news, the word of the Lord, with many others also.
Pòl ak Banabas pase kèk tan nan Antiòch. Ansanm ak anpil lòt frè, yo t'ap moutre moun yo anpil bagay, yo t'ap fè yo konnen pawòl Seyè a.
36 And after some days Paul said to Barnabas, After returning, surely we could help our brothers in every city in which we proclaimed the word of the Lord, how they fare.
Kèk tan apre, Pòl di Banabas konsa: Ann al vizite frè yo ki nan tout lavil kote nou te anonse Pawòl Seyè a. Ann al wè ki jan yo ye.
37 And Barnabas wanted to take along John called Mark.
Banabas te vle mennen Jan ki te gen ti non Mak la avèk yo.
38 But Paul thought it not worthy to bring along this man who withdrew from them from Pamphylia, and not having gone with them to the work.
Men, Pòl pa t' kwè se te yon bon lide pou yo te mennen l', paske, dènye fwa a, li te pati kite yo nan Panfili, li pa t' rete nèt ak yo jouk vwayaj la te fini.
39 Therefore a provocation developed, so as for them to separate from each other, and Barnabas to sail for Cyprus, after taking Mark,
Lè sa a, yon diskisyon byen cho leve ant Pòl ak Banabas, tèlman yo separe yonn ak lòt. Banabas pran Mak avèk li, yo pran yon batiman, y' ale lil Chip.
40 but Paul, having selected Silas, went forth after being delivered to the grace of God by the brothers.
Pòl menm chwazi Silas. Apre frè yo fin renmèt li nan men Bondye k'ap ba l' favè l', li pati.
41 And he passed through Syria and Cilicia, encouraging the congregations.
Li pase nan peyi Siri ak peyi Silisi; sou tout wout la li t'ap fòtifye legliz yo nan konfyans yo nan Bondye.
