Acts 13
1 And there were certain in Antioch, in the assembly there, prophets and teachers: both Barnabas, and Simeon who is called Niger, and Lucius the Cyrenian, Manaen also—Herod the tetrarch’s foster-brother—and Saul;
Nan legliz Antiòch la te gen kèk pwofèt ak moun ki t'ap bay enstriksyon: se te Banabas, Simeon (yo te rele Ti Nwa), Lisiyis, moun Sirèn, Manayèn (ki te grandi ansanm ak Ewòd, gouvènè a), epi Sòl.
2 and in their ministering to the LORD and fasting, the Holy Spirit said, “Separate to Me both Barnabas and Saul to the work to which I have called them,”
Yon jou, yo t'ap fè sèvis pou Bondye, yo t'ap fè jèn, lè Sentespri di yo: Mete Banabas ak Sòl apa pou mwen, pou yo fè travay mwen chwazi pou yo fè a.
3 then having fasted, and having prayed, and having laid the hands on them, they sent [them] away.
Lè sa a, yo fè jèn, yo lapriyè, yo mete men sou tèt Banabas ak Sòl, epi yo kite yo ale.
4 These, indeed, then, having been sent forth by the Holy Spirit, went down to Seleucia, and from there they sailed to Cyprus,
Se konsa Sentespri te voye Banabas ak Sòl an misyon. Y' al nan peyi Selesi. Antan yo la, yo pran yon batiman pou lil Chip.
5 and having come to Salamis, they declared the word of God in the synagogues of the Jews, and they also had John [as] a servant;
Lè yo rive Salamin yo tanmen anonse pawòl Bondye a nan sinagòg jwif yo. Yo te gen Jan Mak avèk yo pou ede yo.
6 and having gone through the island to Paphos, they found a certain magus, a false prophet, a Jew, whose name [is] Bar-Jesus;
Yo travèse tout lil la nèt jouk Pafòs. Rive la, yo jwenn yon majisyen ki te rele Bajezi. Se te yon jwif ki te pran pòz pwofèt li.
7 who was with the proconsul Sergius Paulus, an intelligent man; this one having called for Barnabas and Saul, desired to hear the word of God,
Li te bon zanmi ak Sèjiyis Polis, chèf lil la. Sèjiyis Polis la te yon nonm lespri. Li fè rele Banabas ak Sòl paske li te vle tande pawòl Bondye a.
8 and there withstood them Elymas the magus—for so is his name interpreted—seeking to pervert the proconsul from the faith.
Men, Elimas (se te non majisyen an nan lang grèk) t'ap kenbe tèt ak yo. Li t'ap chache detounen gouvènè a pou l' pa t' kwè.
9 And Saul—who also [is] Paul—having been filled with the Holy Spirit, and having looked steadfastly on him,
Men, Sòl (yo te rele Pòl tou), anba pouvwa Sentespri, fikse je l' sou majisyen an,
10 said, “O full of all guile, and all recklessness, son of a devil, enemy of all righteousness, will you not cease perverting the right ways of the LORD?
li di li: Ou menm, ou se pitit Satan. Ou plen riz ak mechanste nan kè ou, ou pa vle wè anyen ki bon. Eske ou p'ap sispann vire travay Bondye a lanvè?
11 And now, behold, a hand of the LORD [is] on you, and you will be blind, not seeing the sun for a season”; and instantly there fell on him a mist and darkness, and he, going around, was seeking some to lead [him] by the hand;
Koulye a, koute: Bondye pral mete men sou ou: ou pral vin avèg, ou p'ap wè limyè solèy pou kèk tan. Menm lè a, je Elimas vin bouche, li wè tou nwa. Li t'ap vire adwat agoch, li t'ap chache yon moun pou pran men l' pou kondi li.
12 then the proconsul having seen what has come to pass, believed, being astonished at the teaching of the LORD.
Lè gouvènè a wè sak te rive a, li kwè. Sa te frape l' anpil lè l' tande tou sa yo t'ap moutre li sou Seyè a.
13 And those around Paul having set sail from Paphos, came to Perga of Pamphylia, and John having departed from them, turned back to Jerusalem,
Pòl ak kanmarad li yo pran batiman nan lavil Pafòs, y' al lavil Pèj nan peyi Panfili. Antan yo la, Jan Mak kite yo, li tounen Jerizalèm.
14 and they having gone through from Perga, came to Antioch of Pisidia, and having gone into the synagogue on the day of the Sabbaths, they sat down,
Yo kite Pèj, yo pousib wout yo jouk yo rive lavil Antiòch nan peyi Pisidi. Jou repo a, yo antre nan sinagòg la, yo chita.
15 and after the reading of the Law and of the Prophets, the chief men of the synagogue sent to them, saying, “Men, brothers, if there be a word in you of exhortation to the people—say on.”
Apre moun yo te fin li nan liv lalwa a ak nan liv pwofèt yo, chèf sinagòg la voye di yo: Frè m' yo, si nou gen kèk pawòl pou ankouraje asanble a, nou mèt pale koulye a.
16 And Paul having risen, and having beckoned with the hand, said, “Men, Israelites, and those fearing God, listen:
Pòl leve kanpe, li fè yon siy ak men l', epi li di: Nou menm moun ras Izrayèl, ak nou menm moun lòt nasyon ki gen krentif pou Bondye, koute mwen.
17 the God of this people Israel chose our fathers, and He exalted the people in their sojourning in the land of Egypt, and He brought them out of it with a high arm;
Bondye pèp Izrayèl la te chwazi zansèt nou yo. Antan yo t'ap viv tankou etranje nan peyi Lejip, li fè pèp la vin yon kantite. Apre sa, ak fòs ponyèt li, li fè yo soti kite peyi a.
18 and about a period of forty years He endured their conduct in the wilderness,
Pandan karantan, li pran pasyans ak yo nan dezè a.
19 and having destroyed seven nations in the land of Canaan, He divided their land to them by lot.
Li detwi sèt nasyon nan peyi Kanaran, li pran tout tè yo, li bay pèp li a pou pwopryete pa yo,
20 And after these things, about four hundred and fifty years, He gave judges—until Samuel the prophet;
pou katsansenkant (450) lanne. Apre sa, li mete jij pou kòmande yo jouk pou rive nan tan pwofèt Samyèl.
21 and thereafter they asked for a king, and God gave to them Saul, son of Kish, a man of the tribe of Benjamin, for forty years;
Lè sa a, yo mande pou yon wa. Bondye ba yo Sayil, pitit gason Kis la, moun branch fanmi Benjamen, pou wa pandan karantan.
22 and having removed him, He raised up to them David for king, to whom also having testified, He said, I found David, the [son] of Jesse, a man according to My heart, who will do all My will.
Lè li wete Sayil, li ba yo David pou wa. Men sa Bondye te di sou David: Mwen jwenn David, pitit gason Izayi a. Se yon nonm ki fè m' plezi. Li va fè tou sa m' vle l' fè.
23 Of this one’s seed, God, according to promise, raised to Israel a Savior—Jesus,
Se Jezi, yonn nan pitit pitit David yo, Bondye mete pou delivre pèp Izrayèl la, jan l' te pwomèt la.
24 John having first preached, before His coming, an immersion of conversion to all the people of Israel;
Men, anvan Jezi te vini, Jan t'ap mache bay mesaj sa a, li t'ap rele tout pèp Izrayèl la pou yo te tounen vin jwenn Bondye, pou yo te resevwa batèm.
25 and as John was fulfilling the course, he said, Whom do you suppose I am? I am not [He], but behold, He comes after me, of whom I am not worthy to loose the sandal of [His] feet.
Lè Jan te prèt pou fini ak misyon l' lan, li di pèp la: Ki moun nou kwè mwen ye? Moun n'ap tann lan, se pa mwen. Men, koute, moun sa a ap vini apre mwen. Mwen menm, mwen pa bon ase pou m' ta demare kòd sapat ki nan pye li.
26 Men, brothers, sons of the race of Abraham, and those among you fearing God, to you was the word of this salvation sent,
Frè m' yo, nou menm moun ras Abraram lan ak nou menm moun lòt nasyon isit la ki gen krentif pou Bondye, Bondye voye di nou li vin delivre nou.
27 for those dwelling in Jerusalem, and their chiefs, having not known this One, also the voices of the Prophets, which are being read every Sabbath—having judged [Him]—fulfilled,
Paske, moun lavil Jerizalèm ansanm ak chèf yo pa t' konnen ki moun Jezi te ye. Yo pa t' konprann sans pawòl pwofèt yo, pawòl ki li nan zòrèy yo chak jou repo. Men, se yo menm ankò ki fè tout pawòl sa yo rive vre lè yo te kondannen Jezi.
28 and having found no cause of death, they asked of Pilate that He should be slain,
Atout yo pa t' jwenn anyen nan sa Jezi te fè ki pou ta fè l' merite lanmò, yo te mande Pilat fè touye li.
29 and when they fulfilled all the things written about Him, having taken [Him] down from the tree, they laid Him in a tomb;
Lè yo fin fè tout bagay ki te ekri sou li nan liv yo rive vre, yo desann li sou kwa a, yo mete l' nan yon kavo.
30 and God raised Him out of the dead,
Men, Bondye fè l' leve soti vivan nan lanmò.
31 and He was seen for many days of those who came up with Him from Galilee to Jerusalem, who are His witnesses to the people.
Apre sa, pandan plizyè jou, moun ki te moute Jerizalèm soti peyi Galile ansanm avèk li yo, yo te wè l' ak je yo. Se yo menm k'ap sèvi l' temwen koulye a devan pèp Izrayèl la.
32 And we proclaim good news to you—that the promise made to the fathers,
Nou menm, nou vin fè nou konnen bon nouvèl sa a isit la. Bagay Bondye te pwomèt zansèt nou yo,
33 God has completed this in full to us their children, having raised up Jesus, as also in the second Psalm it has been written: You are My Son—I have begotten You today.
li fè l' pou nou ki pitit pitit yo: li fè Jezi leve soti vivan nan lanmò, dapre sa ki ekri nan Sòm de a: Ou se pitit mwen. Depi jòdi a se mwen ki papa ou.
34 And that He raised Him up out of the dead, to no longer return to corruption, He has said this: I will give to You the holy [blessings] of David [that are] faithful;
Bondye te fè konnen li t'ap fè l' soti vivan nan lanmò pou l' pa t' janm tounen pouriti ankò. Se sa l' te fè konnen, lè l' te di: M'a ba ou tout benediksyon mwen te pwomèt David yo, ou mèt konte sou yo.
35 for what reason He also says in another [place]: You will not give Your Holy One to see corruption;
Se poutèt sa, yon lòt kote li di konsa: Ou pa penmèt moun k'ap sèvi ou la pouri anba tè.
36 for David, indeed, having served his own generation by the will of God, fell asleep, and was added to his fathers, and saw corruption,
Men, apre David te fin sèvi plan Bondye nan mitan moun ki t'ap viv menm lè avè l' yo, li mouri. Yo antere l' menm kote ak zansèt li yo, epi li pouri anba tè.
37 but He whom God raised up, did not see corruption.
Men, moun Bondye te leve soti vivan nan lanmò a, li pa janm pouri anba tè.
38 Let it therefore be known to you, men, brothers, that the forgiveness of sins is declared to you through this One,
-(we vèsè pwochen)
39 and from all things in the Law of Moses from which you were not able to be declared righteous, everyone who is believing in this One is declared righteous;
Frè m' yo, nou fèt pou nou konn sa byen: Bondye voye Jezi fè nou konnen l'ap padonnen tout peche nou yo: tout moun ki mete konfyans yo nan Jezi, y'ap delivre anba tout peche lalwa Moyiz pa t' ka wete pou yo.
40 see, therefore, it may not come on you that has been spoken in the Prophets:
Atansyon pou bagay pwofèt yo te di a pa rive nou:
41 See, you despisers, and wonder, and perish, because I work a work in your days, a work in which you may not believe, though anyone may declare [it] to you.”
Gade non, nou menm k'ap meprize moun, sezisman pral touye nou. Paske mwen pral fè yon travay koulye a nan mitan nou, bagay nou pa ta kwè, menm si moun ta rakonte nou li.
42 And having gone forth out of the synagogue of the Jews, the nations were calling on [them] that on the next Sabbath these sayings may be spoken to them,
Antan Banabas ak Pòl t'ap soti nan sinagòg la, moun yo mande yo pou yo tounen jou repo k'ap vini an pou pale sou tout bagay sa yo ankò.
43 and the synagogue having been dismissed, many of the Jews and of the devout proselytes followed Paul and Barnabas, who, speaking to them, were persuading them to remain in the grace of God.
Apre reyinyon an, anpil jwif ak anpil moun lòt nasyon ki te konvèti nan relijyon jwif yo te swiv Pòl ak Banabas. Apòt yo menm te pale ak yo, yo te ankouraje yo pou yo rete fèm nan favè Bondye.
44 And on the coming Sabbath, almost all the city was gathered together to hear the word of God,
Jou repo ki vin apre a, prèske tout moun nan lavil la te sanble pou tande pawòl Seyè a.
45 and the Jews having seen the multitudes, were filled with zeal, and contradicted the things spoken by Paul—contradicting and slandering.
Lè jwif yo wè foul moun yo, yo pran fè jalouzi: yo t'ap demanti tou sa Pòl t'ap di a, yo t'ap joure li.
46 And speaking boldly, Paul and Barnabas said, “It was necessary that the word of God be first spoken to you, and seeing you thrust it away, and do not judge yourselves worthy of the continuous life, behold, we turn to the nations; (aiōnios g166)
Men, Pòl ak Banabas di yo kareman: Se nou menm premye moun ki pou te resevwa Pawòl Bondye a. Men, n'ap repouse l', nou pa konsidere tèt nou bon ase pou n' antre nan lavi ki p'ap janm fini an. Enben, koulye a nou pral vire bò kote moun lòt nasyon yo. (aiōnios g166)
47 for so the LORD has commanded us: I have set you for a light of nations—for your being for salvation to the end of the earth.”
Men lòd Bondye te ban nou: Mwen mete ou pou sèvi yon limyè pou lòt nasyon yo, pou ou kapab ale toupatou sou latè, moutre ki jan tout moun ka jwenn delivrans.
48 And the nations hearing were glad, and were glorifying the word of the LORD, and believed—as many as were appointed to continuous life; (aiōnios g166)
Lè moun lòt nasyon yo tande sa, yo pa t' manke kontan: yo pran fè lwanj pawòl Bondye a. Tout moun Bondye te chwazi davans pou resevwa lavi ki p'ap janm fini an te kwè. (aiōnios g166)
49 and the word of the LORD was spread abroad through all the region.
Pawòl Bondye a t'ap gaye toupatou nan peyi a.
50 And the Jews stirred up the devout and honorable women, and the first men of the city, and raised persecution against Paul and Barnabas, and put them out from their borders;
Men, jwif yo moute tèt medam lasosyete ki te konvèti nan relijyon jwif yo, ansanm ak grannèg lavil yo. Yo tout yo pran pèsekite Pòl ak Banabas: yo mete yo deyò nan peyi a.
51 and having shaken off the dust of their feet against them, they came to Iconium,
Pòl ak Banabas souke pousyè pye yo sou yo, y' ale lavil Ikoniòm.
52 and the disciples were filled with joy and the Holy Spirit.
Nan Antiòch menm, disip yo te kontan anpil, Sentespri te plen kè yo.
