Acts 23
1 And Paul, after looking intently at the council, said, Men, brothers, I have been a citizen in all good conscience to God until this day.
Pòl fikse je l' sou manm Gran Konsèy yo, li di: Frè m' yo, depi tout tan mwen toujou viv san repwòch devan Bondye jouk jounen jòdi a.
2 And the high priest Ananias ordered those who stood by him to strike his mouth.
Ananyas, granprèt la, bay moun ki toupre Pòl yo lòd pou yo ba l' yon souflèt.
3 Then Paul said to him, God is going to smite thee, a whitewashed wall. Thou even sit judging me according to the law, and violating law, thou command me to be struck?
Lè sa a Pòl di li: Ou pòtre yon miray blanchi ak lacho! Se Bondye ki va frape ou. Ou chita la pou jije m' dapre Lalwa Bondye a. Men, se ou menm k'ap dezobeyi Lalwa Bondye a lè ou bay lòd frape m' lan.
4 And those who stood by said, Thou revile God's high priest?
Moun ki te toupre Pòl yo di li: Apa w'ap joure granprèt Bondye a?
5 And Paul said, I had not known, brothers, that he is a high priest, for it is written, Thou shall not speak ill of a ruler of thy people.
Pòl reponn: Eskize m', frè m'. Mwen pa t' konnen se granprèt msye te ye. Paske, men sa yo di nan Liv la: Piga ou pale chèf pèp ou a mal.
6 But when Paul ascertained that the one part were Sadducees and the other Pharisees, he cried out in the council, Men, brothers, I am a Pharisee, son of a Pharisee. About the hope and resurrection of the dead I am judged.
Pòl konnen te gen sadiseyen yon bò ak farizyen yon lòt bò nan Gran Konsèy la. Se poutèt sa li pran pale byen fò devan yo, li di: Frè m' yo, se yon farizyen mwen ye, pitit pitit farizyen. Se paske mwen gen espwa mò yo gen pou yo leve vivan ankò ki fè yo rele m' an jijman devan nou.
7 And when he said this, there developed a conflict of the Pharisees and Sadducees, and the group was divided.
Lè l' di sa, farizyen yo pran diskite ak sadiseyen yo; asanble a fè de kan.
8 For in fact Sadducees say to be no resurrection nor agent nor spirit, but Pharisees acknowledge them all.
(Sadiseyen yo t'ap di moun mouri pa leve, pa gen zanj, pa gen lespri. Farizyen yo, bò pa yo, te kwè nan tou sa.)
9 And there developed a great clamor. And some of the scholars of the Pharisees part having risen, they argued vehemently, saying, We find nothing wrong in this man. But if a spirit spoke to him, or an agent, we should not fight against God.
Moun yo t'ap rele pi fò toujou. Kèk dirèktè lalwa, ki te patizan farizyen yo, leve kanpe, yo antre nan yon diskisyon byen cho, yo t'ap di: Nou pa jwenn anyen ki mal nan nonm sa a. Se dwe yon zanj Bondye osinon yon lespri ki pale avè li.
10 And a great conflict having developed, the chief captain, having been alarmed lest Paul might be torn apart by them, commanded the soldiers to go down and take him away from the midst of them, and bring him into the fort.
Diskisyon an te vin sitèlman cho kòmandan an te pè pou yo pa t' dechèpiye Pòl. Li bay sòlda yo lòd desann nan asanble a, al wete Pòl nan mitan yo, mennen l' tounen nan kazèn lan.
11 And the following night the Lord, having stood by him, said, Cheer up, Paul, for as thou have testified these things about me at Jerusalem, so thou must testify also at Rome.
Jou lannwit sa a, Pòl wè Seyè a ki di li: Kouraj! Menm jan ou kanpe bay verite a pou mwen isit la lavil Jerizalèm, se konsa tou ou gen pou ou al kanpe bay verite a pou mwen lavil Wòm.
12 And when it became day, some of the Jews, having made a conspiracy, put themselves under a curse, saying neither to eat nor to drink until they would kill Paul.
Nan denmen maten, jwif yo fè yon konplo. Yo sèmante sou tèt yo yo p'ap mete anyen nan bouch yo toutotan yo pa touye Pòl.
13 And there were more than forty who made this conspiracy,
Te gen karant moun pou pi piti nan konplo a.
14 who, having come near to the chief priests and the elders, said, We have put ourselves under a curse, a curse to taste of nothing until we would kill Paul.
Y' al jwenn chèf prèt yo ak chèf fanmi yo, yo di yo: Nou sèmante sou tèt nou, nou p'ap manje anyen toutotan nou pa touye Pòl.
15 Now therefore ye with the council report to the chief captain that tomorrow he may bring him down to you, as though going to inquire more accurately the things about him. And we, before he comes near, are prepared to kill him.
Koulye a, nou menm ansanm ak tout Gran Konsèy la, mande kòmandan an pou l' mennen Pòl ban nou, tankou si nou ta renmen egzaminen ka li a pi byen. Nou menm, bò pa nou, nou tou pare pou n' touye l' anvan l' gen tan rive isit.
16 But the son of Paul's sister, having heard of the ambush, having come and entered into the fort, he informed Paul.
Men, pitit gason sè Pòl la pran nouvèl konplo a. li al nan kazèn lan, li antre, li avèti Pòl.
17 And Paul, having called one of the centurions, said, Take this young man to the chief captain, for he has something to inform him.
Pòl rele yonn nan ofisye yo, li di li: Mennen jenn gason sa a bò kot kòmandan an: li gen kichòy pou l' di li.
18 Indeed therefore having taken him, he brought him to the chief captain, and says, Paul the prisoner, having called me, asked me to bring this young man to thee, who has something to say to thee.
Ofisye a pran jenn gason an avè l', li mennen l' bay kòmandan an, li di: Prizonye yo rele Pòl la rele m', li mande m' pou mennen jenn gason sa a ba ou. Li bezwen di ou kichòy.
19 And the chief captain having grasped his hand, and having gone in private, he asked him, What is it that thou have to inform me?
Kòmandan an pran men jenn gason an, li mennen l' sou kote, li mande li: Kisa ou gen pou di mwen?
20 And he said, The Jews have agreed to ask thee that tomorrow thou would bring Paul down to the council, as though going to inquire something more accurately about him.
Li reponn: Jwif yo ranje yon konplo. Y'ap mande ou mennen Pòl denmen devan Gran Konsèy la. Y'ap di ou yo ta renmen egzaminen ka msye pi byen.
21 Therefore thou should not be persuaded by them, for more than forty men of them wait to ambush him, who have put themselves under an oath, neither to eat nor drink until they have killed him. And now they are ready, expecting the promise from thee.
Pa koute yo. Gen karant moun pou pi piti ki pare pou yo pran li. Yo sèmante sou lavi yo, yo p'ap mete anyen nan bouch yo toutotan yo pa touye li. Koulye a yo fin pare nèt, se respons ou ase y'ap tann.
22 Indeed therefore the chief captain dismissed the young man, having ordered, Tell no man that thou have shown these things to me.
Kòmandan an di l' konsa: Pa kite pesonn konnen ou te vin di m' sa. Epi li voye jenn gason an al fè wout li.
23 And having summoned a certain two of the centurions, he said, Prepare two hundred soldiers that they may go to Caesarea, and seventy horsemen, and two hundred spearmen at the third hour of the night.
Apre sa, kòmandan an rele de nan ofisye l' yo, li di yo: Sanble desan (200) sòlda, swasanndis kavalye ak desan (200) zòm ame ak pikèt. Se pou nou tout pare pou n' pati pou Sezare aswè a, vè nevè.
24 And provide beasts, so that after mounting Paul, they may bring him safely to Felix the governor,
Pare yon chwal pou Pòl tou. Mennen l' ale bay gouvènè Feliks an byen, san okenn danje, san okenn malè.
25 after writing a letter containing this form:
Epi li ekri lèt sa a:
26 Claudius Lysias to the eminent governor Felix, greeting.
Klòd Lizyas voye bonjou ak tout respe l' pou chèf li, gouvènè Feliks.
27 This man who was seized by the Jews, and was going to be killed by them, having stood by with the soldiers, I rescued him, having learned that he is a Roman.
Jwif yo te mete men sou nonm sa a, yo tapral touye l' lè m' vin konnen se yon sitwayen women li ye. Lè sa a, mwen rive avèk sòlda m' yo, mwen delivre li.
28 And wanting to know for what reason they accused him, I brought him down to their council,
Mwen mennen l' devan Gran Konsèy jwif yo, paske mwen te vle konnen kisa jwif yo t'ap di sou li konsa.
29 whom I found accusing about issues of their law, having not one accusation worthy of death or of bonds.
Mwen wè li pa t' fè anyen ki pou ta fè yo touye l' ni pou yo mete l' nan prizon. Yo t'ap akize l' dèske li fè yon bann bagay ki gen rapò ak Lalwa yo a.
30 And when it was reported to me of a plot going to be against the man by the Jews, I immediately sent him to thee, also having commanded the accusers to speak before thee the things against him. Be strong.
Lè m' vin konnen jwif yo t'ap fè konplo pou touye l', mwen pran desizyon voye l' ba ou. Epi mwen mande moun ki t'ap akize l' yo pou yo vin pote plent pou li devan ou.
31 Indeed therefore, the soldiers, according to that which was precisely arranged for them, having taken Paul, they brought him through the night to Antipatris.
Sòlda yo fè tou sa Lizyas te ba yo lòd fè: yo pran Pòl, yo mennen li jouk Antipatris lannwit la menm.
32 But on the morrow they returned to the fort, having allowed the horsemen to depart with him,
Nan denmen, sòlda ki t'ap mache apye yo tounen nan kazèn lan, yo kite kavalye yo fè rès vwayaj la avèk Pòl.
33 who, after coming to Caesarea and having delivered the letter to the governor, also presented Paul to him.
Rive yo rive Sezare, kavalye yo renmèt gouvènè a lèt la, epi yo renmèt Pòl nan men li.
34 And the governor having read it, and having questioned from what province he was, and having found out that he was from Cilicia,
Gouvènè a li lèt la, li mande Pòl moun ki pwovens li ye. Lè l' vin konnen se moun Silisi li ye, li di li:
35 he said, I will hear thee when thine accusers also will arrive. And he commanded him to be kept in the Praetorium of Herod.
Lè moun k'ap akize ou yo va vini, m'a tande sa ou gen pou di. Epi li bay lòd pou yo mete Pòl sou bon gad nan gwo palè Ewòd la.
