Acts 28
1 And when they had saved themselves, they then learned that the island was called Melita.
Se lè nou fin sove, nou vin konnen lil la te rele Malt.
2 And the barbarians showed us no ordinary kindness; for they kindled a fire, and received us all, because of the rain which was falling, and because of the cold.
Moun peyi a te aji byen anpil avèk nou. Lapli t'ap tonbe, te fè frèt anpil. Yo limen yon gwo boukan pou resevwa nou.
3 And when Paul had brought together a heap of brushwood, and laid it on the fire, a viper came out, by reason of the heat, and fastened itself on his hand.
Pòl te ranmase yon ti pakèt fachin, li t'ap mete l' nan dife a lè yon sèpan soti nan chalè dife a, li vlope nan men li.
4 And when the barbarians saw the reptile hanging from his hand, they said to one another: This man is certainly a murderer, whom, although he has saved himself from the sea, justice does not permit to live.
Lè moun zile yo wè sèpan an pandye nan men Pòl, yonn t'ap di lòt: Gen lè nonm sa a se yon ansasen. Li chape nan nofraj la, epi men jistis Bondye ap pousib li toujou.
5 Then he shook the reptile from him into the fire, and suffered no harm.
Pòl annik souke men l', epi bèt la tonbe nan dife a. Li pa t' santi anyen ankò.
6 But they were expecting that he would become inflamed and swollen, or would suddenly fall down dead; yet, after expecting it for a long time, and seeing no harm befall him, they changed their mind, and said he was a god.
Lòt moun yo menm t'ap tann pou yo wè Pòl vin anfle osinon pou l' tonbe mouri frèt. Moun yo tann, yo tann. Lè yo wè anyen pa rive l', yo chanje lide, yo di: Nonm sa a, se yon bondye.
7 Among the estates about that place were those of the chief man of the island, whose name was Publius, who took us to his house, and, for three days, entertained us kindly.
Toupre bò la, te gen yon bitasyon ki te pou Pibliyis, pi grannèg nan lil la. Li resevwa nou ak kè kontan. Nou fè ladesant lakay li pandan twa jou.
8 And it happened that the father of Publius was lying sick with fever and dysentery. And Paul went in to him, and prayed, and laid his hands on him, and restored him to health.
Papa Pibliyis te kouche malad ak yon lafyèb ak dyare. Pòl antre ale wè l', li lapriyè, li mete men l' sou tèt li, li geri li.
9 Therefore, after this had been clone, the rest also in the island who had diseases, came and were cured.
Apre sa, tout lòt moun ki te malad nan lil la te vini tou. Yo tout te geri.
10 And they also honored us with many honors; and, when we put to sea, they supplied us with such things as we needed.
Yo fè nou anpil kado. Lè pou n' anbake menm, yo ban nou tou sa nou te bezwen pou vwayaj la.
11 After three months we put to sea in a ship of Alexandria, which had wintered in the island, whose sign was the Dioscuri.
Apre twa mwa, nou pati nan yon batiman Aleksandri ki te pase tout tan fredi a nan lil la. Yo te rele batiman an Marasa.
12 And we landed at Syracuse, and remained there three days:
Lè nou rive Sirakiz, nou rete la pandan twa jou.
13 from which place, by coasting about, we came to Rhegium; and one day afterward, the south wind arose; and we came, on the next day, to Puteoli,
Lè nou pati, nou lonje kòt la jouk nou rive Rijio. Nan denmen, yon van swèt leve: apre de jou vwayaj nou rive Pouzòl.
14 where we found brethren, and were persuaded to remain with them seven days. And thus we went toward Home.
La, nou jwenn kèk frè ki mande pou n' pase sèt jou ak yo. Se konsa nou rive lavil Wòm.
15 And from this place, the brethren, having heard of us, came out as far as Appii Forum and the Three Taverns, to meet us. When Paul saw the brethren, he thanked God, and took courage.
Frè lavil Wòm yo ki te pran nouvèl nou vin kontre nou jouk nan Mache Apiyis ak nan Kalfou Twa Kafe. Lè Pòl wè yo, li di Bondye mèsi, li pran kouraj.
16 When we came to Rome, the centurion delivered the prisoners to the captain of the guard; but Paul was permitted to dwell by himself, with a soldier that guarded him.
Lè nou rive Wòm, yo kite Pòl rete pou kont li ak yon sèl sòlda pou veye li.
17 And it came to pass, after three days, that he called together the chief men of the Jews; and when they had come, he said to them: Brethren, though I have done nothing against the people, or the customs of our fathers, yet I was delivered as a prisoner from Jerusalem into the hands of the Romans.
Apre twa jou, Pòl fè rele chèf jwif yo ki lavil Wòm. Lè yo reyini, li di yo: Frè m' yo, san m' pa fè anyen kont pèp la, ni kont koutim zansèt nou yo, jwif yo rete konsa, yo arete m' lavil Jerizalèm, yo lage m' nan men women yo.
18 They, after examination, would have released me, for they found no cause of death in me.
Lè women yo fin keksyonnen m', yo te vle lage m' paske yo pa t' jwenn okenn rezon ki pou ta fè m' merite lanmò.
19 But because the Jews spoke against it, I was compelled to appeal to Cæsar: not that I have any accusation to bring against my own nation.
Men, jwif yo kenbe la ak yo. Mwen te blije mande pou Seza tande kòz mwen. Men, mwen menm pou tèt pa m', mwen pa gen okenn plent pou m' fè pou moun menm peyi avè m' yo.
20 For this reason, I called for you, that I might see you and speak to you; for on account of the hope of Israel, I am bound with this chain.
Se poutèt sa mwen fè rele nou pou m' wè nou, pou m' pale ak nou, pou m' di nou se poutèt moun pèp Izrayèl t'ap tann lan kifè yo mare m' ak chenn sa a.
21 And they said to him: We have neither received letters from Judea concerning you, nor has any one of the brethren come, and reported or spoken any evil of you.
Yo reponn li: Nou pa resevwa okenn lèt soti peyi Jide sou ou. Okenn frè pa soti laba vin isit pou ban nou nouvèl, ni pou pale mal sou ou.
22 But we think it right to hear from you what you think: for, as it respects this sect, we know that it is everywhere spoken against.
Men, nou ta renmen tande kisa ou gen nan tèt ou, paske nou konnen toupatou yo pa vle wè gwoup ou fè pati a.
23 And when they had appointed him a day, many came to him at his lodging; to whom, from morning till evening; , he earnestly testified, and set forth the kingdom of God, persuading them concerning Jesus, both from the law of Moses, and from the prophets.
Yo fikse l' yon jou. Lè sa a, yo te anpil ki te vin jwenn li kote li te ye a. Depi nan maten jouk nan aswè, Pòl t'ap ba yo esplikasyon: li t'ap fè yo konnen gouvènman Bondye ki wa a. Li pran lalwa Moyiz la ak liv pwofèt yo, li t'ap chache fè yo rekonèt ki moun Jezi ye.
24 And some believed the things that were spoken, and some believed not.
Gen ladan yo ki te kwè sa l' t'ap di yo. Men, gen lòt ki pa t' vle kwè menm.
25 And not agreeing among themselves, they departed, after Paul had spoken one word: Well did the Holy Spirit speak to our fathers by Isaiah the prophet,
Yo vire do yo san yo pa t' tonbe dakò. Lè Pòl wè sa, li ajoute pawòl sa a pou yo: Sentespri te gen rezon pale konsa ak zansèt nou yo nan bouch pwofèt Ezayi, lè l' te di:
26 saying: Go to this people and say, You shall surely hear, but you will not understand; and you shall surely see, but you will not perceive.
Ale jwenn pèp sa a, di l' pou mwen: Pou tande n'a tande nan zòrèy nou, men nou p'ap konprann anyen. Pou gade n'a gade ak je nou, men nou p'ap wè.
27 For the heart of this people has become fat, and with their ears they hear heavily, and their eyes they have closed, lest they should see with their eyes, and hear with their ears, and understand with their heart, and should turn, and I should restore them to health.
Paske lespri pèp sa a vin lou, yo bouche zòrèy yo, yo fèmen je yo, pou yo pa wè ak je yo, pou yo pa tande nan zòrèy yo, pou yo pa konprann ak lespri yo, pou yo pa tounen vin jwenn mwen pou m' geri yo. Se Bondye menm ki di sa.
28 Therefore, be it known to you, that the salvation of God is sent to the Gentiles, and they will hear.
Apre sa, Pòl di yo: Koulye a, nou fèt pou nou konnen Bondye fè moun lòt nasyon yo konnen l'ap delivre yo tou. Yo menm, y'ap tande li.
29 And when he had said these things, the Jews departed, and had great disputation among themselves.
Lè l' te fin di sa, jwif yo al fè wout yo, yo t'ap diskite yonn ak lòt.
30 And Paul dwelt two whole years in his own rented house, and received all that came to him,
Pòl te rete pandan dezan nan yon kay li te lwe. Li te resevwa tout moun ki te vin wè li.
31 preaching the kingdom of God, and teaching the things concerning the Lord Jesus Christ, with all boldness and without hinderance.
Li t'ap fè konnen gouvènman Bondye ki wa a, li t'ap moutre moun yo tout bagay sou Jezikri, Seyè a, kareman san pesonn pa janm chache l' kont.
