Acts 10
1 At Caesarea there was a man named Cornelius, a centurion in what was called the Italian Regiment.
Alò, te gen yon sèten nonm nan Césarée ke yo te rele Corneille, yon santenye nan kowòt Italyen an.
2 He and all his household were devout and God-fearing. He gave generously to the people and prayed to God regularly.
Li te yon mesye fidèl ki te gen lakrent Bondye avèk tout lakay li, ki te bay anpil charite a pèp Jwif la, e li te priye Bondye kontinyèlman.
3 One day at about the ninth hour, he had a clear vision of an angel of God who came to him and said, “Cornelius!”
Anviwon nevyèm è nan jounen an, li te wè byen klè nan yon vizyon, yon zanj Bondye ki te vin kote li e te di l: “Corneille!”
4 Cornelius stared at him in fear and asked, “What is it, Lord?” The angel answered, “Your prayers and gifts to the poor have ascended as a memorial offering before God.
Ak zye l fikse sou li, e gwo laperèz, e te di: “Kisa li ye, Senyè?” Zanj la te di li: “Priyè ou avèk charite ou kon yon rekèt, gen tan monte devan Bondye.
5 Now send men to Joppa to call for a man named Simon who is called Peter.
Koulye a, voye kèk moun Joppé e mande pou yon mesye yo rele Simon, ki rele osi Pierre.
6 He is staying with Simon the tanner, whose house is by the sea.”
Li rete lakay a yon bòs tanè yo rele Simon ki rete bò lanmè a.”
7 When the angel who spoke to him had gone, Cornelius called two of his servants and a devout soldier from among his attendants.
Lè zanj ki t ap pale avè l la te ale, li te rele de nan sèvitè li yo, avèk yon sòlda fidèl nan lafwa ki te sèvi li tout tan.
8 He explained what had happened and sent them to Joppa.
Lè l te fin eksplike yo tout bagay, li te voye yo Joppé.
9 The next day at about the sixth hour, as the men were approaching the city on their journey, Peter went up on the roof to pray.
Nan jou apre a, pandan yo te nan chemen yo, ap pwoche vil la Pierre te ale sou do kay la nan anviwon sizyèm è pou priye.
10 He became hungry and wanted something to eat, but while the meal was being prepared, he fell into a trance.
Men li te vin grangou, e li te vle manje. Men pandan yo t ap fè preparasyon an, li te tonbe nan yon rèv.
11 He saw heaven open and something like a large sheet being let down to earth by its four corners.
Konsa, li te wè syèl la louvri, epi yon bagay tankou yon gwo dra te lonje desann bò kat kwen li yo jiska atè.
12 It contained all kinds of four-footed animals and reptiles of the earth, as well as birds of the air.
Ladann l te gen tout kalite bèt kat pye ak kreyati ki rale atè ak zwazo syèl yo.
13 Then a voice said to him: “Get up, Peter, kill and eat!”
Yon vwa te vini sou li: “Leve, Pierre, touye e manje!”
14 “No, Lord!” Peter answered. “I have never eaten anything impure or unclean.”
Men Pierre te di: “Sa p ap janm fèt, Senyè, paske Mwen pa janm manje anyen ki pa sen e pwòp.”
15 The voice spoke to him a second time: “Do not call anything impure that God has made clean.”
Ankò yon vwa te vini a li menm, pou dezyèm fwa: “Sa ke Bondye gen tan fè pwòp, pa konsidere l ankò pa sen.”
16 This happened three times, and all at once the sheet was taken back up into heaven.
Sa te rive twa fwa; epi imedyatman, bagay la te vin remonte nan syèl la.
17 While Peter was puzzling over the meaning of the vision, the men sent by Cornelius found Simon’s house and approached the gate.
Alò, Pierre te byen twouble nan lespri li sou sa vizyon li te wè te siyifi a. Epi konsa mesye ki te voye pa Corneille yo, lè yo te fin mande tout direksyon pou kay Simon, te parèt nan pòtay la.
18 They called out to ask if Simon called Peter was staying there.
Yo te rele anlè, pou mande si Simon, ke yo rele osi Pierre a te rete la.
19 As Peter continued to reflect on the vision, the Spirit said to him, “Behold, three men are looking for you.
Pandan Pierre t ap reflechi sou vizyon an Lespri a te di l: “Gade, gen twa mesye k ap chache ou.
20 So get up! Go downstairs and accompany them without hesitation, because I have sent them.”
Alò, leve desann eskalye a pou akonpanye yo san doute anyen. Paske se Mwen menm ki voye yo.”
21 So Peter went down to the men and said, “Here am I, the one you are looking for. Why have you come?”
Pierre te desann vè moun yo. Li te di yo: “Se mwen menm nou ap chache a. Se pou ki rezon nou vini an?”
22 “Cornelius the centurion has sent us,” they said. “He is a righteous and God-fearing man with a good reputation among the whole Jewish nation. A holy angel instructed him to request your presence in his home so he could hear a message from you.”
Yo te di: “Corneille, yon sòlda santenye, yon nonm dwat e ki krent Bondye, e ki byen pale pa tout nasyon Jwif la, te dirije pa yon zanj pou voye kote ou pou vini lakay li pou tande yon mesaj de ou menm.”
23 So Peter invited them in as his guests. And the next day he got ready and went with them, accompanied by some of the brothers from Joppa.
Konsa, li te envite yo antre, e li te bay yo lojman. Nan jou swivan a, li te leve. Li te sòti avèk yo, e kèk nan frè Joppé yo te akonpanye li.
24 The following day he arrived in Caesarea, where Cornelius was expecting them and had called together his relatives and close friends.
Nan youn jou pi tà, li te antre Césarée. Alò, Corneille t ap tann yo. Li te rele ansanm fanmi ak zanmi ki pwòch li yo.
25 As Peter was about to enter, Cornelius met him and fell at his feet to worship him.
Lè Pierre te antre, Corneille te rankontre li, e te tonbe nan pye li pou adore li.
26 But Peter helped him up. “Stand up,” he said, “I am only a man myself.”
Men Pierre te leve l e te di: “Kanpe non, mwen menm se sèlman yon moun.”
27 As Peter talked with him, he went inside and found many people gathered together.
Pandan li t ap pale avèk li, li te antre, e te twouve anpil moun deja reyini.
28 He said to them, “You know how unlawful it is for a Jew to associate with a foreigner or visit him. But God has shown me that I should not call any man impure or unclean.
Pierre te di yo: “Nou menm nou konnen kijan sa kont lalwa pou yon nonm ki se yon Jwif vin asosye avèk yon etranje, ni pou vizitè li. Men Bondye te deja montre m ke mwen pa dwe rele pèsòn pa sen oubyen pa pwòp.
29 So when I was invited, I came without objection. I ask, then, why have you sent for me?”
Se pou rezon sa ke m te vini menm san okenn objeksyon lè yo te fè mwen vini an. Konsa, mwen mande pou ki sa nou fè mwen vini an?”
30 Cornelius answered: “Four days ago I was in my house praying at this, the ninth hour. Suddenly a man in radiant clothing stood before me
Corneille te di: “Kat jou pase jis nan menm lè sa a, mwen t ap fè jèn e priye lakay mwen nan nevyèm è a; epi vwala yon nonm te kanpe devan mwen avèk vètman ki t ap briye.
31 and said, ‘Cornelius, your prayer has been heard, and your gifts to the poor have been remembered before God.
Li te di: ‘Corneille, priyè ou gen tan tande e ofrann ou yo gen tan sonje devan Bondye.
32 Therefore send to Joppa for Simon, who is called Peter. He is a guest in the home of Simon the tanner, by the sea.’
Pou sa, voye Joppé pou envite Simon, ke yo rele osi Pierre, pou vin kote nou. Li rete lakay Simon, ki se bòs tanè bò lanmè a.’
33 So I sent for you immediately, and you were kind enough to come. Now then, we are all here in the presence of God to listen to everything the Lord has instructed you to tell us.”
Pou sa, mwen te fè ou vin touswit, e ou tèlman emab, ke ou vini. Alò, koulye a, nou tout isit la, prezan devan Bondye pou tande tout sa ke ou kòmande pa Senyè a.”
34 Then Peter began to speak: “I now truly understand that God does not show favoritism,
Lè l louvri bouch li, Pierre te di: “Vrèman, mwen konprann koulye a, ke Bondye se pa youn ki fè patipri pou pèsòn,
35 but welcomes those from every nation who fear Him and do what is right.
men nan tout nasyon yo, sila a ki gen lakrent Li, e ki fè sa ki bon, byen resevwa devan Li menm.
36 He has sent this message to the people of Israel, proclaiming the gospel of peace through Jesus Christ, who is Lord of all.
Pawòl ke Li te voye a fis Israël yo, pou preche lapè atravè Jésus Kri a—Ke Li se Senyè a tout moun.
37 You yourselves know what has happened throughout Judea, beginning in Galilee with the baptism that John proclaimed:
“Nou menm nou konnen bagay ki te pase nan tout Judée a, ki te kòmanse nan Galilée, apre batèm ke Jean te pwoklame a;
38 how God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Spirit and with power, and how Jesus went around doing good and healing all who were oppressed by the devil, because God was with Him.
sou Jésus de Nazareth la, jan Bondye te bay li onksyon avèk Lespri Sen an, e avèk pwisans, Li te ale toupatou e t ap fè byen, jan Li te geri tout moun ki te oprime pa dyab la, paske Bondye te avè L.
39 We are witnesses of all that He did, both in the land of the Jews and in Jerusalem. And although they put Him to death by hanging Him on a tree,
“Nou se temwen a tout bagay ke Li te fè nan peyi Jwif yo, ak nan Jérusalem. Anplis yo te mete Li a lanmò lè yo te pann Li sou yon kwa.
40 God raised Him up on the third day and caused Him to be seen—
Bondye te fè l leve nan twazyèm jou a, e te pèmèt ke Li te vin vizib
41 not by all the people, but by the witnesses God had chosen beforehand, by us who ate and drank with Him after He rose from the dead.
pa a tout pèp la, men a temwen ki te chwazi oparavan pa Bondye yo; a nou menm ki te manje e bwè avèk Li apre Li te leve soti nan lanmò a.
42 And He commanded us to preach to the people and to testify that He is the One appointed by God to judge the living and the dead.
Konsa, Li te kòmande nou pou preche a pèp la, epi solanèlman, temwaye ke Li se Sila a ki te nome pa Bondye, kòm Jij a vivan e a mò yo.
43 All the prophets testify about Him that everyone who believes in Him receives forgiveness of sins through His name.”
“A Li menm, tout pwofèt yo pote temwayaj, ke selon non Li tout moun ki kwè nan Li resevwa padon pou peche yo.”
44 While Peter was still speaking these words, the Holy Spirit fell upon all who heard his message.
Pandan Pierre te toujou ap pale pawòl sa yo, Lespri Sen an te tonbe sou tout sila yo ki t ap koute mesaj la.
45 All the circumcised believers who had accompanied Peter were astounded that the gift of the Holy Spirit had been poured out even on the Gentiles.
Tout kwayan sikonsi ki te vini avèk Pierre yo te etone paske don Lespri Sen an te vèse sou etranje yo tou.
46 For they heard them speaking in tongues and exalting God. Then Peter said,
Paske yo te tande yo pale an lang, e egzalte Bondye. Alò, Pierre te reponn:
47 “Can anyone withhold the water to baptize these people? They have received the Holy Spirit just as we have!”
“Èske pèsòn kapab refize dlo pou sa yo ta kapab batize, sila ki te resevwa Lespri Sen an, menm jan ak nou?”
48 So he ordered that they be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ. Then they asked him to stay for a few days.
Epi li te kòmande yo pou batize nan non Jésus Kri. Alò, yo te mande li pou rete la avèk yo pandan kèk jou.
