Acts 18
1 After these thinges, Paul departed from Athens, and came to Corinthus,
Apre bagay sa yo li te kite Athènes e te ale Corinthe.
2 And found a certaine Iewe named Aquila, borne in Pontus, lately come from Italie, and his wife Priscilla (because that Claudius had commanded all Iewes to depart from Rome) and he came vnto them.
Epi li te twouve yon sèten Jwif la ki te rele Aquilas, yon moun Pont ki te fenk vin sòti Italie avèk madanm li Priscille, paske Claude te kòmande tout Jwif yo pou kite Rome. Paul te ale kote yo.
3 And because hee was of the same crafte, he abode with them and wrought (for their crafte was to make tentes.)
Akoz li te gen menm metye a, li te rete avèk yo, e yo t ap travay, paske se moun ki fè tant yo te ye.
4 And he disputed in the Synagogue euery Sabbath day, and exhorted the Iewes, and the Grecians.
Li t ap rezone nan sinagòg la chak Saba pou l konvenk Jwif yo ak Grèk yo pou kwè.
5 Now when Silas and Timotheus were come from Macedonia, Paul, forced in spirit, testified to the Iewes that Iesus was the Christ.
Men lè Silas ak Timothée te desann soti Macédoine, Paul te kòmanse dedye tèt li nèt a pawòl la, pou temwaye solanèlman a Jwif yo ke se te Jésus ki te Kris la.
6 And when they resisted and blasphemed, he shooke his raiment, and saide vnto them, Your blood be vpon your owne head: I am cleane: from henceforth will I goe vnto the Gentiles.
Men lè yo te reziste, e te fè blasfèm, li te souke rad li, e te di yo: “Ke san nou vini sou pwòp tèt nou! Mwen inosan. Depi koulye a mwen va ale kote pèp etranje yo.”
7 So he departed thence, and entred into a certaine mans house, named Iustus, a worshipper of God, whose house ioyned hard to the Synagogue.
Answit li te kite la pou ale lakay a yon sèten nonm ki te rele Titius Justus, yon adoratè Bondye, ki te gen kay li toupre sinagòg la.
8 And Crispus the chiefe ruler of the Synagogue, beleeued in the Lord with all his housholde: and many of the Corinthians hearing it, beleeued and were baptized.
Crispus, dirijan sinagòg la, te vin kwè nan Senyè a avèk tout lakay li, e anpil nan Korentyen yo, lè yo te tande sa, yo te vin kwè, e yo te batize.
9 Then saide the Lord to Paul in the night by a vision, Feare not, but speake, and holde not thy peace.
Epi Senyè a te di Paul nan yon vizyon pandan nwit lan: “Pa pè ankò, men kontinye pale, e pa fè silans;
10 For I am with thee, and no man shall lay handes on thee to hurt thee: for I haue much people in this citie.
paske Mwen avèk ou, e nanpwen moun k ap atake ou pou fè ou mal, paske Mwen gen anpil moun nan vil sa a.”
11 So he continued there a yeere and six moneths, and taught ye worde of God among them.
Konsa, li te rete la pandan en an si mwa, e li t ap enstwi pawòl Bondye a pami yo.
12 Now when Gallio was Deputie of Achaia, the Iewes arose with one accorde against Paul, and brought him to the iudgement seate,
Men pandan Gallion te pwokonsil Achaië Jwif yo avèk yon sèl vwa te leve kont Paul, e te mennen l devan chèz jijman an.
13 Saying, This fellow persuadeth me to worship God otherwise then the Lawe appointeth.
Yo t ap di: “Nonm sila ap fè moun kwè pou adore Bondye kont lalwa a.”
14 And as Paul was about to open his mouth, Gallio saide vnto the Iewes, If it were a matter of wrong, or an euill deede, O ye Iewes, I would according to reason maintaine you.
Men lè Paul te prèt pou louvri bouch li, Gallion te di a Jwif yo: “Si se te yon ka a yon enjistis, oswa yon krim visye, O Jwif yo, li ta rezonab pou m ta bay nou soutyen.
15 But if it bee a question of woordes, and names, and of your Lawe, looke yee to it your selues: for I will be no iudge of those things.
Men si gen kesyon konsènan pawòl, oswa non, oswa pwòp lwa pa nou, okipe sa nou menm. Mwen pa gen enterè nan jije bagay sa yo.”
16 And hee draue them from the iudgement seate.
Epi li te chase yo sòti devan chèz jijman an.
17 Then tooke al the Grecians Sosthenes the chiefe ruler of the Synagogue, and beat him before the iudgement seat: but Gallio cared nothing for those things.
Konsa, yo tout te sezi Sosthène, mèt sinagòg la, e te kòmanse bat li devan chèz jijman an. Men Gallion pa t okipe bagay sa yo menm.
18 But when Paul had taried there yet a good while, hee tooke leaue of the brethren, and sailed into Syria (and with him Priscilla and Aquila) after that he had shorne his head in Cenchrea: for he had a vowe.
Paul, apre li te rete pandan anpil jou ankò, te kite frè yo pou te monte sou lanmè a pou rive Syrie, e avèk li te gen Priscille ak Aquilas. Nan Cenchrées li te fè yo pase razwa sou cheve tèt li, paske li t ap swiv yon ve.
19 Then hee came to Ephesus, and left them there: but hee entred into the Synagogue and disputed with the Iewes.
Yo te rive Éphèse, e li te kite yo la. Alò, li menm te antre nan sinagòg la pou te rezone avèk Jwif yo.
20 Who desired him to tarie a longer time with them: but he would not consent,
Lè yo te mande li pou rete avèk yo pou plis tan, li pa t dakò,
21 But bade the farewel, saying, I must needes keepe this feast that commeth, in Hierusalem: but I will returne againe vnto you, if God will. So he sailed from Ephesus.
men li te kite yo e t ap di: “Mwen va retounen kote nou ankò si Bondye vle”. E li te pran bato a vwal pou soti Éphèse.
22 And when hee came downe to Cesarea, he went vp to Hierusalem: and when he had saluted the Church, he went downe vnto Antiochia.
Lè l te rive Césarée, li te monte pou salye legliz la, e li te desann Antioche.
23 Nowe when he had taried there a while, he departed, and went thorowe the countrey of Galatia and Phrygia by order, strengthening all the disciples.
Lè l te fin pase kèk tan la, li te sòti e te travèse youn apre lòt, nan rejyon a Galatie a ak Phrygie kote li te ranfòse tout disip yo.
24 And a certaine Iewe named Apollos, borne at Alexandria, came to Ephesus, an eloquent man, and mightie in the Scriptures.
Alò, yon sèten Jwif ki te rele Apollos, ki te ne nan Alexandrie, yon nonm ki te konn pale byen, e ki te fò nan Ekriti Sen yo te vini Éphèse.
25 The same was instructed in the way of the Lord, and hee spake feruently in the Spirite, and taught diligently the things of the Lord, and knew but the baptisme of Iohn onely.
Mesye sa te enstwi nan chemen Bondye a. E avèk fevè Lespri a, li t ap pale e t ap enstwi byen klè tout bagay konsènan Jésus, men te konnen sèlman batèm a Jean an.
26 And he began to speake boldely in the Synagogue. Whom when Aquila and Priscilla had heard, they tooke him vnto them, and expounded vnto him the way of God more perfectly.
Li te kòmanse pale avèk gwo kouraj nan sinagòg la. Men lè Priscille ak Aquilas te tande l, yo te rale l akote pou te eksplike li chemen Bondye a pi klè.
27 And when hee was minded to goe into Achaia, the brethren exhorting him, wrote to the disciples to receiue him: and after hee was come thither, he holpe them much which had beleeued through grace.
Lè Apollos te vle travèse a Achaïe, frè yo te ankouraje li, e te ekri a disip yo pou ankouraje li. Lè l te rive, li te anpil èd pou sila ki te kwè pa gras yo.
28 For mightily hee confuted publikely the Iewes, with great vehemencie, shewing by the Scriptures, that Iesus was that Christ.
Paske avèk pouvwa li te demanti Jwif yo an piblik, e li te montre atravè Ekriti Sen yo ke Jésus se te Kris la.
