Acts 18
1 AFTER these things Paul departed from Athens, and came to Corinth;
Apre bagay sa yo li te kite Athènes e te ale Corinthe.
2 And found a certain Jew named Aquila, born in Pontus, lately come from Italy, with his wife Priscilla; (because that Claudius had commanded all Jews to depart from Rome: ) and came unto 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 he was of the same craft, he abode with them, and wrought: for by their occupation they were tentmakers.
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 reasoned in the synagogue every sabbath, and persuaded the Jews and the Greeks.
Li t ap rezone nan sinagòg la chak Saba pou l konvenk Jwif yo ak Grèk yo pou kwè.
5 And when Silas and Timotheus were come from Macedonia, Paul was pressed in the spirit, and testified to the Jews that Jesus was 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 opposed themselves, and blasphemed, he shook his raiment, and said unto them, Your blood be upon your own heads; I am clean: from henceforth I will go unto 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 And he departed thence, and entered into a certain man’s house, named Justus, one that worshipped God, whose house joined 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 chief ruler of the synagogue, believed on the Lord with all his house; and many of the Corinthians hearing believed, 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 spake the Lord to Paul in the night by a vision, Be not afraid, but speak, and hold 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 set on thee to hurt thee: for I have much people in this city.
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 And he continued there a year and six months, teaching the word 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 And when Gallio was the deputy of Achaia, the Jews made insurrection with one accord against Paul, and brought him to the judgment seat,
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 men to worship God contrary to the law.
Yo t ap di: “Nonm sila ap fè moun kwè pou adore Bondye kont lalwa a.”
14 And when Paul was now about to open his mouth, Gallio said unto the Jews, If it were a matter of wrong or wicked lewdness, O ye Jews, reason would that I should bear with 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 be a question of words and names, and of your law, look ye to it; for I will be no judge of such matters.
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 he drave them from the judgment seat.
Epi li te chase yo sòti devan chèz jijman an.
17 Then all the Greeks took Sosthenes, the chief ruler of the synagogue, and beat him before the judgment seat. And Gallio cared for none of 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 And Paul after this tarried there yet a good while, and then took his leave of the brethren, and sailed thence into Syria, and with him Priscilla and Aquila; having shorn his head in Cenchrea: for he had a vow.
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 And he came to Ephesus, and left them there: but he himself entered into the synagogue, and reasoned with the Jews.
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 When they desired him to tarry longer time with them, he consented not;
Lè yo te mande li pou rete avèk yo pou plis tan, li pa t dakò,
21 But bade them farewell, saying, I must by all means keep this feast that cometh in Jerusalem: but I will return again unto you, if God will. And 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 he had landed at Cæsarea, and gone up, and saluted the church, he went down to Antioch.
Lè l te rive Césarée, li te monte pou salye legliz la, e li te desann Antioche.
23 And after he had spent some time there, he departed, and went over all the country of Galatia and Phrygia in 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 certain Jew named Apollos, born at Alexandria, an eloquent man, and mighty in the scriptures, came to Ephesus.
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 This man was instructed in the way of the Lord; and being fervent in the spirit, he spake and taught diligently the things of the Lord, knowing only the baptism of John.
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 speak boldly in the synagogue: whom when Aquila and Priscilla had heard, they took him unto them, and expounded unto 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 he was disposed to pass into Achaia, the brethren wrote, exhorting the disciples to receive him: who, when he was come, helped them much which had believed 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 he mightily convinced the Jews, and that publickly, shewing by the scriptures that Jesus was 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.
