Acts 16
1 Then came he to Derbe and to Lystra: and beholde, a certaine disciple was there named Timotheus, a womans sonne, which was a Iewesse and beleeued, but his father was a Grecian,
Paul te vini osi nan Derbe ak Lystre. Yon disip yo te rele Timothée te la, Fis a yon fanm Jwif ki te yon kwayan, men papa li te yon Grèk.
2 Of whom the brethren which were at Lystra and Iconium, reported well.
Tout frè fidèl ki te nan Lystre avèk Icone yo te pale byen de li.
3 Therefore Paul would that he should go forth with him, and tooke and circumcised him, because of ye Iewes, which were in those quarters: for they knewe all, that his father was a Grecian.
Paul te vle Timothée ale avè l. Pou rezon sa a, li te fè li sikonsi, akoz Jwif ki te nan landwa sila yo. Paske yo tout te konnen ke papa l se te yon Grèk.
4 And as they went through the cities, they deliuered them the decrees to keepe, ordeined of the Apostles and Elders, which were at Hierusalem.
Alò, pandan yo t ap travèse vil yo, yo t ap livre bay desizyon a ki te detèmine pa apòt yo ak ansyen yo nan Jérusalem.
5 And so were the Churches stablished in the faith, and encreased in number daily.
Donk legliz yo t ap ranfòse nan lafwa, e yo t ap grandi an nonb chak jou.
6 Nowe when they had gone throughout Phrygia, and the region of Galatia, they were forbidden of the holy Ghost to preache the worde in Asia.
Yo te travèse rejyon a Phrygie ak Galatie, akoz ke yo te anpeche pa Lespri Sen an pou pale pawòl la an Asie.
7 Then came they to Mysia, and sought to go into Bithynia: but the Spirit suffered them not.
Lè yo te vini Mysie, yo te eseye antre Bithynie, men Lespri Jésus a pa t pèmèt yo.
8 Therefore they passed through Mysia, and came downe to Troas,
Lè yo te kite Mysie, yo te desann Troas.
9 Where a vision appeared to Paul in the night. There stoode a man of Macedonia, and prayed him, saying, Come into Macedonia, and helpe vs.
Konsa, yon vizyon te parèt a Paul nan nwit lan. Yon sèten mesye Macédoine te kanpe e t ap di l: “Vin Macédoine pou ede nou.”
10 And after he had seene the vision, immediatly we prepared to goe into Macedonia, being assured that the Lord had called vs to preache the Gospel vnto them.
Lè li te wè vizyon an, imedyatman nou te chache ale Macédoine, byen konprann ke Bondye te rele nou pou preche levanjil la a yo menm.
11 Then went we forth from Troas, and with a straight course came to Samothracia, and the next day to Neapolis,
Donk, nou te pran vwal sou lanmè soti Troas. Nou te kouri tou dwat pou Samothrace, e nan jou swivan an, pou Néapolis.
12 And from thence to Philippi, which is the chiefe citie in ye partes of Macedonia, and whose inhabitants came from Rome to dwell there, and we were in that citie abiding certaine dayes.
Nou te kite la pou Philippes, yon vil prensipal nan distri Macédoine nan, yon koloni Women. Nou te rete nan vil sa pandan kèk jou.
13 And on the Sabbath day, we went out of the citie, besides a Riuer, where they were wont to pray: and we sate downe, and spake vnto the women, which were come together.
Nan jou Saba a, nou te ale deyò pòtay la bò kote yon rivyè kote nou te sipoze ta genyen yon kote pou lapriyè. Nou te chita e te kòmanse pale ak fanm ki te vin rasanble la yo.
14 And a certaine woman named Lydia, a seller of purple, of the citie of the Thyatirians, which worshipped God, heard vs: whose heart the Lord opened, that she attended vnto the things, which Paul spake.
Yon sèten fanm yo te rele Lydie, ki te sòti nan vil Thyatire, yon machann twal mov, yon adoratris Bondye, te tande nou. Senyè a te louvri kè l pou reponn a bagay ke Paul t ap pale yo.
15 And when she was baptized, and her houshold, she besought vs, saying, If ye haue iudged me to be faithfull to ye Lord, come into mine house, and abide there: and she constrained vs.
Lè li menm ak tout lakay li te batize, li te ankouraje nou e te di: “Si nou jije mwen fidèl a Senyè a, vin lakay mwen pou rete.” E li te konvenk nou de sa.
16 And it came to passe that as we went to prayer, a certaine maide hauing a spirit of diuination, mette vs, which gate her masters much vantage with diuining.
Li te vin rive ke pandan nou t ap ale nan plas lapriyè a, te gen yon sèten jenn fanm-esklav avèk yon Lespri divinasyon. Li te konn fè anpil kòb pou mèt li yo akoz ke li te konn pale moun davans sa ki t ap rive yo.
17 She followed Paul and vs, and cryed, saying, These men are the seruants of the most high God, which shewe vnto you the way of saluation.
Li te swiv Paul avèk nou menm, e li t ap kriye fò san sès, e t ap di: “Mesye sa yo se sèvitè yo a Bondye Trè Wo a, k ap pwoklame a nou menm, youn chemen sali a.”
18 And this did she many dayes: but Paul being grieued, turned about, and said to the spirit, I commaund thee in the Name of Iesus Christ, that thou come out of her. And he came out the same houre.
Li te kontinye ap fè sa pandan anpil jou. Men Paul te vrèman enève. Li te vire e te di a Lespri a: “Mwen kòmande ou nan non Jésus Kri a pou sòti nan li!” E lespri a te sòti de li nan menm moman an.
19 Nowe when her masters sawe that the hope of their gaine was gone, they caught Paul and Silas, and drewe them into the market place vnto the Magistrates,
Men lè mèt li yo te wè ke tout espwa yo pou fè kòb te disparèt, yo te sezi Paul ak Silas. Yo te trennen yo nan mache a devan otorite yo.
20 And brought them to the gouernours, saying, These men which are Iewes, trouble our citie,
Lè yo te mennen yo a chèf majistra yo, yo te di: “Mesye sa yo se Jwif yo k ap boulvèse vil nou an.
21 And preache ordinances, which are not lawfull for vs to receiue, neither to obserue, seeing we are Romanes.
Y ap pwoklame koutim ki pa pèmèt pou nou aksepte ni obsève kòm Women.”
22 The people also rose vp together against them, and the gouernours rent their clothes, and commanded them to be beaten with roddes.
Konsa, foul la te leve ansanm kont yo. Chèf majistra yo te chire rad yo. Yo te kòmande pou yo bat yo avèk baton.
23 And when they had beaten them sore, they cast them into prison, commaunding the Iayler to keepe them surely.
Lè yo te fin bay yo anpil kou, yo te jete yo nan prizon, e te kòmande jandam prizon an pou veye yo de prè.
24 Who hauing receiued such commandement, cast them into the inner prison, and made their feete fast in the stockes.
Li menm, akoz ke li resevwa lòd sa a, te jete yo nan prizon pa anndan an, e te tache pye yo nan chèn.
25 Nowe at midnight Paul and Silas prayed, and sung Psalmes vnto God: and the prisoners heard them.
Men anviwon minwi Paul avèk Silas t ap priye e chante chan lwanj a Bondye. Lòt prizonye yo t ap koute yo.
26 And suddenly there was a great earthquake, so that the foundation of the prison was shaken: and by and by all the doores opened, and euery mans bands were loosed.
Konsa, sibitman te vin gen yon gwo tranbleman detè, ki souke menm fondasyon kay prizon an. Imedyatman tout pòt prizon an te vin louvri, e chèn tout moun te vin detache.
27 Then the keeper of the prison waked out of his sleepe, and when he sawe the prison doores open, he drewe out his sword and would haue killed himselfe, supposing the prisoners had bin fled.
Jandam prizon an te leve nan dòmi, e lè l te wè tout pòt yo te vin ouvri, li te rale nepe pou touye tèt li, paske li te sipoze ke prizonye yo te chape.
28 But Paul cryed with a loude voyce, saying, Doe thy selfe no harme: for we are all here.
Men Paul te kriye ak yon vwa fò pou di l: “Pa fè tèt ou mal! Nou tout la!”
29 Then he called for a light, and leaped in, and came trembling, and fell downe before Paul and Silas,
Jandam nan te rele pou limyè, e te kouri antre ap tranble avèk laperèz. Konsa, li te tonbe devan Paul ak Silas,
30 And brought them out, and said, Syrs, what must I doe to be saued?
te mennen yo deyò, e li te mande yo: “Mesye yo kisa mwen dwe fè pou m ta sove?”
31 And they saide, Beleeue in the Lord Iesus Christ, and thou shalt be saued, and thine houshold.
Yo te reponn: “Kwè nan Senyè a Jésus, e ou va sove, ou menm avèk lakay ou.”
32 And they preached vnto him the worde of the Lord, and to all that were in the house.
Yo te pale li pawòl Senyè a, ansanm ak tout sila ki te lakay li yo.
33 Afterwarde he tooke them the same houre of the night, and washed their stripes, and was baptized with all that belonged vnto him, straigthway.
Li te pran yo nan menm lè nwit sa a, li te lave blesi yo, e imedyatman, li te batize, li menm avèk tout lakay li.
34 And when he had brought them into his house, he set meate before them, and reioyced that he with all his houshold beleeued in God.
Li te mennen yo lakay li e te mete manje devan yo. Li te rejwi anpil, akoz li te kwè nan Bondye avèk tout lakay li.
35 And when it was day, the gouernours sent the sergeants, saying, Let those men goe.
Alò, lè jounen an te rive, chèf majistra yo te voye jandam yo pou di: “Lage moun sa yo.”
36 Then the keeper of the prison tolde these woordes vnto Paul, saying, The gouerness haue sent to loose you: nowe therefore get you hence, and goe in peace.
Jandam prizon an te fè rapò sa a bay Paul. Li te di: “Chèf majistra yo gen tan voye lage nou. Konsa, vin deyò kounye a e ale anpè.”
37 Then sayde Paul vnto them, After that they haue beaten vs openly vncodemned, which are Romanes, they haue cast vs into prison, and nowe would they put vs out priuily? nay verely: but let them come and bring vs out.
Men Paul te di yo: “Yo gen tan bat nou an piblik san jijman, moun ki se sitwayen Women, e yo te jete nou nan prizon. Alò, koulye a y ap voye nou ale an sekrè? Anverite, non! Men kite yo vini yo menm, pou mete nou deyò.”
38 And the sergeants tolde these woordes vnto the gouernours, who feared whe they heard that they were Romanes.
Jandam yo te bay rapò a pawòl sila yo bay chèf majistra yo. Yo te pè lè yo te tande ke se te Women yo te ye.
39 Then came they and praied them, and brought them out, and desired them to depart out of the citie.
Yo te vini pou te fè apèl ak yo, e lè yo te fin lage yo, yo te mande yo pou kite vil la.
40 And they went out of the prison, and entred into the house of Lydia: and when they had seene the brethren, they comforted them, and departed.
Yo te kite prizon an e te antre lakay Lydie. Lè yo te wè frè yo, yo te ankouraje yo, e yo te pati.
