Acts 9
1 And Saul, as yet breathing out threatenings and slaughter against the disciples of the Lord, went to the high priest,
Alò, Saul, toujou t ap respire menas ak asasina kont disip a Senyè yo, jis li rive devan wo prèt la.
2 And asked of him letters to Damascus, to the synagogues: that if he found any men and women of this way, he might bring them bound to Jerusalem.
Li te mande li bay li lèt a sinagòg Damas yo pou si li te twouve nenpòt moun ki nan Chemen an, fanm kou gason, li ta kapab mennen yo mare a Jérusalem.
3 And as he went on his journey, it came to pass that he drew nigh to Damascus; and suddenly a light from heaven shined round about him.
Pandan li t ap fè wout la, li rive ke li t ap pwoche Damas, epi sibitman, yon gran limyè ki sòti nan syèl la te klere tout ozanviwon li.
4 And falling on the ground, he heard a voice saying to him: Saul, Saul, why persecutest thou me?
Li te tonbe atè e te tande yon vwa ki t ap di l: “Saul, Saul, poukisa w ap pèsekite M?”
5 Who said: Who art thou, Lord? And he: I am Jesus whom thou persecutest. It is hard for thee to kick against the goad.
Li reponn: “Kilès Ou ye, Senyè?” Li te di: “Mwen se Jésus ke w ap pèsekite a.
6 And he trembling and astonished, said: Lord, what wilt thou have me to do?
Men leve, antre nan vil la, e ou va tande kisa ou dwe fè.”
7 And the Lord said to him: Arise, and go into the city, and there it shall be told thee what thou must do. Now the men who went in company with him, stood amazed, hearing indeed a voice, but seeing no man.
Mesye ki te vwayaje avè l yo te kanpe san di anyen. Yo te tande vwa a, men yo pa t wè pèsòn.
8 And Saul arose from the ground; and when his eyes were opened, he saw nothing. But they leading him by the hands, brought him to Damascus.
Saul te leve atè a, e malgre zye li te louvri, li pa t kab wè anyen. Yo te mennen li pa lamen, e te fè l rive Damas.
9 And he was there three days, without sight, and he did neither eat nor drink.
Li pa t kab wè pandan twa jou, ni li pa t manje, ni bwè.
10 Now there was a certain disciple at Damascus, named Ananias. And the Lord said to him in a vision: Ananias. And he said: Behold I am here, Lord.
Alò, te gen yon disip nan Damas ke yo te rele Ananias. Senyè a te di l nan yon vizyon: “Ananias!” Li te reponn: “Men mwen, Senyè.”
11 And the Lord said to him: Arise, and go into the street that is called Stait, and seek in the house of Judas, one named Saul of Tarsus. For behold he prayeth.
Senyè a te di li: “Leve ale nan ri ke yo rele Dwat la, e mande lakay Judas, pou yon mesye Tarse ke yo rele Saul. Paske, gade byen, l ap priye.
12 (And he saw a man named Ananias coming in, and putting his hands upon him, that he might receive his sight.)
Li gen tan wè deja nan yon vizyon yon mesye ke yo rele Ananias antre pou poze men l sou li, pou l wè ankò.”
13 But Ananias answered: Lord, I have heard by many of this man, how much evil he hath done to thy saints in Jerusalem.
Men Ananias te reponn: “Senyè, mwen tande de anpil moun sou mesye sila a; kijan li te fè sen ou yo mal Jérusalem.
14 And here he hath authority from the chief priests to bind all that invoke thy name.
Isit la menm, li gen otorite ki sòti nan chèf prèt yo pou mare tout sila ki rele Non Ou yo.”
15 And the Lord said to him: Go thy way; for this man is to me a vessel of election, to carry my name before the Gentiles, and kings, and the children of Israel.
Men Senyè a te di li: “Ale paske li menm se yon enstriman ki chwazi pa Mwen pou pote non Mwen devan etranje, wa yo, ak fis Israël yo.
16 For I will shew him how great things he must suffer for my name’s sake.
Paske Mwen va montre li konbyen li oblije soufri pou non Mwen.”
17 And Ananias went his way, and entered into the house. And laying his hands upon him, he said: Brother Saul, the Lord Jesus hath sent me, he that appeared to thee in the way as thou camest; that thou mayest receive thy sight, and be filled with the Holy Ghost.
Konsa, Ananias te sòti. Li te antre nan kay la, e lè l fin poze men l sou li, li te di: “Frè Saul, Senyè Jésus a ki te parèt devan ou nan wout la lè ou t ap vini an, Li voye m pou ou kapab wè ankò e pou ou kapab ranpli avèk Lespri Sen an.”
18 And immediately there fell from his eyes as it were scales, and he received his sight; and rising up, he was baptized.
Imedyatman bagay tankou kal te sòti tonbe nan zye li, e li vin wè ankò. Li te leve e te batize.
19 And when he had taken meat, he was strengthened. And he was with the disciples that were at Damascus, for some days.
Li te pran manje e te reprann fòs li. Alò, pandan kèk jou, li te avèk disip ki te Damas yo.
20 And immediately he preached Jesus in the synagogues, that he is the Son of God.
Epi imedyatman, li te kòmanse pwoklame Jésus nan sinagòg yo e t ap di: “Li se Fis Bondye a”.
21 And all that heard him, were astonished, and said: Is not this he who persecuted in Jerusalem those that called upon this name: and came hither for that intent, that he might carry them bound to the chief priests?
Tout sila ki t ap tande li yo te etone tout tan, e t ap di: “Èske sa se pa sila ki nan Jérusalem te detwi sila yo ki te envoke non sa a, e ki te vini isit la ekspre pou mennen yo mare devan chèf prèt yo?”
22 But Saul increased much more in strength, and confounded the Jews who dwelt at Damascus, affirming that this is the Christ.
Men Saul te kontinye ap vin pi fò, e t ap konfonn Jwif ki te rete Damas yo avèk prèv ke Jésus sila a se Kris la.
23 And when many days were passed, the Jews consulted together to kill him.
Lè anpil jou te fin pase, Jwif yo te fè konplo ansanm pou yo ta touye li,
24 But their laying in wait was made known to Saul. And they watched the gates also day and night, that they might kill him.
men konplo yo te vin konnen pa Saul. Yo te veye pòtay yo lajounen kon lannwit pou yo ta kapab mete l a lanmò.
25 But the disciples taking him in the night, conveyed him away by the wall, letting him down in a basket.
Men disip li yo te pran li nan lannwit, e yo te fè l desann sou miray la nan yon gwo panyen.
26 And when he was come into Jerusalem, he essayed to join himself to the disciples; and they all were afraid of him, not believing that he was a disciple.
Konsa, lè Saul te vini Jérusalem, li te eseye pran kontak avèk disip yo, men yo te pè l. Yo pa t kwè ke li te yon disip.
27 But Barnabas took him, and brought him to the apostles, and told them how he had seen the Lord, and that he had spoken to him; and how in Damascus he had dealt confidently in the name of Jesus.
Men Barnabas te pran li e te mennen l devan apòt yo. Paul te eksplike yo kijan li te wè Senyè a sou wout la. Ke Li te pale avèk li, epi kijan nan Damas li te pale avèk kouraj nan non Jésus.
28 And he was with them coming in and going out in Jerusalem, and dealing confidently in the name of the Lord.
Li te avèk yo pou antre nan Jérusalem.
29 He spoke also to the Gentiles, and disputed with the Greeks; but they sought to kill him.
Li t ap pale avèk anpil kouraj nan non Senyè a. Li t ap pale e diskite avèk Jwif Grèk yo men yo t ap eseye mete l a lanmò.
30 Which when the brethren had known, they brought him down to Caesarea, and sent him away to Tarsus.
Men lè tout frè yo te vin konprann sa, yo te mennen li desann Césarée, e te voye li ale Tarse.
31 Now the church had peace throughout all Judea, and Galilee, and Samaria; and was edified, walking in the fear of the Lord, and was filled with the consolation of the Holy Ghost.
Donk legliz la nan tout Juda, Galilée, ak Samarie te vin gen lapè, e te vin fò. Yo te kontinye nan lakrent Senyè a, ak rekonfò Lespri Sen an, e te kontinye grandi.
32 And it came to pass that Peter, as he passed through, visiting all, came to the saints who dwelt at Lydda.
Alò pandan Pierre t ap vwayaje nan rejyon sa yo, li te desann osi bò kote fidèl ki te rete nan Lydde yo.
33 And he found there a certain man named Eneas, who had kept his bed for eight years, who was ill of the palsy.
La li te twouve yon sèten mesye ke yo te rele Enée, ki pa t kab leve sou kabann li depi uit ane, paske li te paralize.
34 And Peter said to him: Eneas, the Lord Jesus Christ healeth thee: arise, and make thy bed. And immediately he arose.
Pierre te di li: “Enée, Jésus Kri geri ou. Leve e fè kabann ou.” Nan menm enstan li te leve.
35 And all that dwelt at Lydda and Saron, saw him: who were converted to the Lord.
Tout moun ki te rete nan Lydde ak Saron yo te wè l, e yo te vire vè Senyè a.
36 And in Joppe there was a certain disciple named Tabitha, which by interpretation is called Dorcas. This woman was full of good works and almsdeeds which she did.
Alò, nan Joppé te gen yon sèten disip ke yo te rele Tabitha (ki tradwi an Grèk kon Dorcas). Fanm sa a te ranpli avèk zèv konpasyon ak charite ke li t ap fè tout tan.
37 And it came to pass in those days that she was sick, and died. Whom when they had washed, they laid her in an upper chamber.
Li te rive nan lè sa a ke fanm sila a te tonbe malad e te mouri. Lè yo te lave kò li, yo te fè l kouche nan yon chanm anlè.
38 And forasmuch as Lydda was nigh to Joppe, the disciples hearing that Peter was there, sent unto him two men, desiring him that he would not be slack to come unto them.
Lydde te toupre Joppé, e disip yo te tande Pierre te la. Konsa yo te voye de mesye bò kote li pou sipliye l: “Pa fè reta! Vin kote nou”!
39 And Peter rising up, went with them. And when he was come, they brought him into the upper chamber. And all the widows stood about him weeping, and shewing him the coats and garments which Dorcas made them.
Pierre te leve e te ale avèk yo. E lè l vini, yo te mennen li nan chanm anlè a. Tout vèv yo te kanpe bò kote li e t ap kriye. Yo te montre li tout vètman ak rad ke Dorcas te konn fè lè l te avèk yo.
40 And they all being put forth, Peter kneeling down prayed, and turning to the body, he said: Tabitha, arise. And she opened her eyes; and seeing Peter, she sat up.
Men Pierre te voye yo tout deyò, e te mete l sou jenou l pou l priye, e pandan l ap vire bò kote kò a, li te di: “Tabitha, leve.” Li te louvri zye li, e lè l te wè Pierre, li te chita.
41 And giving her his hand, he lifted her up. And when he had called the saints and the widows, he presented her alive.
Li te bay li men li e te fè l leve. Konsa Pierre te rele tout fidèl yo avèk vèv yo e li te prezante li vivan.
42 And it was made known throughout all Joppe; and many believed in the Lord.
Sa te vin konnen toupatou nan Joppé, eanpil moun te kwè nan Senyè a.
43 And it came to pass, that he abode many days in Joppe, with one Simon a tanner.
Apre sa li te rete anpil jou nan Joppé avèk yon bòs tanè ke yo rele Simon.
