Acts 11
1 And the apostles and brethren, who were in Judea, heard that the Gentiles also had received the word of God.
Apòt yo ansanm ak frè yo ki te nan Jide te tande ki jan moun ki pa jwif yo te resevwa pawòl Bondye a tou.
2 And when Peter was come up to Jerusalem, they that were of the circumcision contended with him,
Lè Pyè tounen moute Jerizalèm, jwif ki te kwè yo tanmen kritike li.
3 Saying: Why didst thou go in to men uncircumcised, and didst eat with them?
Yo di l' konsa: Apa ou antre lakay moun ki pa sikonsi, ou manje ak yo?
4 But Peter began and declared to them the matter in order, saying:
Lè sa a, Pyè rakonte yo sak te pase nan tout ti detay. Li di yo:
5 I was in the city of Joppe praying, and I saw in an ecstasy of mind a vision, a certain vessel descending, as it were a great sheet let down from heaven by four corners, and it came even unto me.
Mwen te lavil Jope, mwen t'ap lapriyè, lè m' fè yon vizyon. Mwen wè yon bagay ki t'ap desann vin jwenn mwen, tankou yon gwo dra mare nan kat bout, ki t'ap desann sot nan syèl la. Li rive toupre mwen.
6 Into which looking, I considered, and saw fourfooted creatures of the earth, and beasts, and creeping things, and fowls of the air:
Lè m' gade byen gade, mwen wè tout kalite bèt andedan li: bèt kat pat, bèt nan bwa, bèt ki trennen sou vant ak zwezo.
7 And I heard also a voice saying to me: Arise, Peter; kill and eat.
Epi m' tande yon vwa ki di m' konsa: Leve non, Pyè, touye, manje.
8 And I said: Not so, Lord; for nothing common or unclean hath ever entered into my mouth.
Men mwen di: Non, Mèt. Mwen pa janm mete move manje osinon manje ki pa bon pou moun k'ap sèvi Bondye nan bouch mwen.
9 And the voice answered again from heaven: What God hath made clean, do not thou call common.
Menm vwa a pale ankò nan syèl la, li di mwen konsa: Bagay Bondye di ki bon pou moun k'ap sèvi l', pa di l' pa bon pou yo.
10 And this was done three times: and all were taken up again into heaven.
An twa fwa sa repete. Epi bagay la moute tounen nan syèl la.
11 And behold, immediately there were three men come to the house wherein I was, sent to me from Caesarea.
Menm lè a, twa moun ki te soti Sezare vin rive nan kay kote m' te ye a. Yo te voye yo chache mwen.
12 And the Spirit said to me, that I should go with them, nothing doubting. And these six brethren went with me also: and we entered into the man’s house.
Lespri a di m' pati ak yo san rete ap kalkile. Sis frè sa yo te al ansanm avè m' tou Sezare. Nou tout nou antre lakay Kònèy.
13 And he told us how he had seen an angel in his house, standing, and saying to him: Send to Joppe, and call hither Simon, who is surnamed Peter,
Kònèy rakonte nou ki jan l' te wè yon zanj Bondye kanpe nan mitan lakay li. Zanj lan di li: Voye yon moun lavil Jope al rele Simon (ki gen yon ti non Pyè).
14 Who shall speak to thee words, whereby thou shalt be saved, and all thy house.
Simon sa a va di ou pawòl ki pou sove ou ansanm ak tout fanmi ou.
15 And when I had begun to speak, the Holy Ghost fell upon them, as upon us also in the beginning.
Mwen te kòmanse pale lè Sentespri a desann sou yo menm jan li te desann sou nou premye jou a.
16 And I remembered the word of the Lord, how that he said: John indeed baptized with water, but you shall be baptized with the Holy Ghost.
Lè sa a, mwen vin chonje sa Seyè a te di: Jan te batize nan dlo, men nou menm nou gen pou n' resevwa batèm nan Sentespri a.
17 If then God gave them the same grace, as to us also who believed in the Lord Jesus Christ; who was I, that could withstand God?
Konsa, Bondye te bay moun sa yo menm kado li te ban nou an lè n' te mete konfyans nou nan Seyè Jezikri. Kisa m' te ye menm pou m' te fè tèt ak Bondye?
18 Having heard these things, they held their peace, and glorified God, saying: God then hath also to the Gentiles given repentance unto life.
Lè yo fin tande pawòl sa yo, yo sispann kritike l', yo pran fè lwanj Bondye. Yo t'ap di: Se vre wi. Bondye bay moun ki pa jwif yo chans pou yo chanje, pou yo ka resevwa lavi tou.
19 Now they who had been dispersed by the persecution that arose on occasion of Stephen, went about as far as Phenice and Cyprus and Antioch, speaking the word to none, but to the Jews only.
Avèk pèsekisyon ki te tonbe sou yo apre lanmò Etyèn lan, disip yo te gaye. Genyen ki te al jouk nan peyi Finisi, nan lil Chip, ak lavil Antiòch. Men, yo t'ap anonse pawòl la bay jwif yo sèlman.
20 But some of them were men of Cyprus and Cyrene, who, when they were entered into Antioch, spoke also to the Greeks, preaching the Lord Jesus.
Lè sa a, kèk disip ki te moun Chip ak moun Sirèn al lavil Antiòch. Antan yo la a, yo pale ak moun Lagrès yo; yo fè yo konnen bon nouvèl ki pale sou Jezi Seyè a.
21 And the hand of the Lord was with them: and a great number believing, were converted to the Lord.
Pouvwa Bondye te avèk yo; anpil nan moun Lagrès yo rive kwè, yo te tounen vin jwenn Bondye.
22 And the tidings came to the ears of the church that was at Jerusalem, touching these things: and they sent Barnabas as far as Antioch.
Legliz Jerizalèm lan vin aprann nouvèl la. Li voye Banabas lavil Antiòch.
23 Who, when he was come, and had seen the grace of God, rejoiced: and he exhorted them all with purpose of heart to continue in the Lord.
Lè Banabas rive, li wè ki jan Bondye t'ap beni disip yo. Li pa t' manke kontan, li t'ap ankouraje yo pou yo tout te kenbe fèm ak tout kè yo nan sèvis Seyè a san dekouraje.
24 For he was a good man, and full of the Holy Ghost and of faith. And a great multitude was added to the Lord.
Banabas sa a te yon bon gason. Li te gen anpil konfyans nan Bondye, epi Sentespri te kenbe l' anba pouvwa l' tout tan. Anpil moun te vin kwè nan Seyè a.
25 And Barnabas went to Tarsus to seek Saul: whom, when he had found, he brought to Antioch.
Apre sa, Banabas ale lavil Tas, li al chache Sòl.
26 And they conversed there in the church a whole year; and they taught a great multitude, so that at Antioch the disciples were first named Christians.
Lè l' jwenn li, li mennen l' lavil Antiòch. Yo pase yon lanne ansanm ap fè reyinyon ak legliz la. Yo t'ap moutre anpil moun sa pou yo fè. Se nan lavil Antiòch sa a premyè fwa yo te rele disip yo kretyen.
27 And in these days there came prophets from Jerusalem to Antioch:
Lè sa a, kèk pwofèt soti Jerizalèm rive Antiòch.
28 And one of them named Agabus, rising up, signified by the Spirit, that there should be a great famine over the whole world, which came to pass under Claudius.
Yonn ladan yo, ki te rele Agabis, leve epi avèk pouvwa Sentespri, li fè konnen tapral gen yon gwo grangou sou tout latè. (Grangou sa a te rive vre sou reny wa Klòd.)
29 And the disciples, every man according to his ability, purposed to send relief to the brethren who dwelt in Judea:
Disip yo deside pou chak moun bay sa yo kapab pou yo voye ede frè yo ki te nan peyi Jide.
30 Which also they did, sending it to the ancients, by the hands of Barnabas and Saul.
Se sa menm yo te fè. Apre sa, yo voye Banabas ak Sòl pote sa yo te ranmase a bay chèf fanmi yo ki te nan Jide.
