Acts 21
1 And it came to pass, at our sailing, having been parted from them, having run direct, we came to Coos, and the succeeding [day] to Rhodes, and there to Patara,
Apre nou fin kite yo, nou pati sou batiman an. Nou fè k'ap tou dwat sou Kòs. Yon jou apre, nou te rive Wòd. Soti la, n' ale Patara.
2 and having found a ship passing over to Phoenicia, having gone on board, we sailed,
La, nou jwenn yon batiman ki tapral peyi Finisi, nou moute abò l' epi nou pati.
3 and having discovered Cyprus, and having left it on the left, we were sailing to Syria, and landed at Tyre, for there was the ship discharging the cargo.
Nou rive toupre lil Chip. Antan nou nan batiman an, nou te ka wè l' toupre konsa. Men, nou pase anba l' sou bò dwat li, nou fè k'ap pou peyi Siri. Nou fè tè lavil Tir. Batiman an te gen yon pakèt chay pou l' te debake la.
4 And having found out the disciples, we tarried there seven days, and they said to Paul, through the Spirit, not to go up to Jerusalem;
Nou jwenn kèk disip, nou pase sèt jou avèk yo. Lespri Bondye a te avèti yo pou yo te di Pòl pa moute Jerizalèm.
5 but when it came that we completed the days, having gone forth, we went on, all bringing us on the way, with women and children, to the outside of the city, and having bowed the knees on the shore, we prayed,
Lè sèt jou yo te pase, nou pati pou n' al fè wout nou. Tout disip yo, madanm yo ak tout pitit yo te kondi nou jouk andeyò lavil la. Nou tout nou mete ajenou sou rivaj la, nou lapriyè.
6 and having embraced one another, we embarked in the ship, and they returned to their own friends.
Apre sa, nou yonn di lòt orevwa. Nou moute abò, yo menm yo tounen lakay yo.
7 And we, having finished the course, from Tyre came down to Ptolemais, and having greeted the brothers, we remained one day with them;
Nou soti lavil Tir nou rive lavil Tolemayis, se la nou fini vwayaj sou lanmè a. N' al di frè ki te la yo bonjou, nou pase yon jou avèk yo.
8 and on the next day Paul and his company having gone forth, we came to Caesarea, and having entered into the house of Philip the evangelist—who is of the seven—we remained with him,
Nan denmen, nou pati ankò, nou rive lavil Sezare. Nou antre lakay Filip, evanjelis la, nou fè ladesant la. Se te yonn nan sèt mesye yo te chwazi Jerizalèm yo.
9 and this one had four daughters, virgins, prophesying.
Li te gen kat pitit fi ki pa t' marye, yo t'ap bay mesaj yo te resevwa nan men Bondye.
10 And we remaining many more days, there came down a certain one from Judea, a prophet, by name Agabus,
Te gen kèk jou depi nou te la lè yon pwofèt yo rele Agabis desann soti nan Jide.
11 and he having come to us, and having taken up the girdle of Paul, having also bound his own hands and feet, said, “Thus says the Holy Spirit: The man whose is this girdle—so will the Jews in Jerusalem bind, and they will deliver [him] up into the hands of nations.”
Li vin jwenn nou. Li pran sentiwon ki te nan ren Pòl la, li mare de pye pa l' ak de men pa l' yo, epi li di: Men sa Sentespri deklare: Se konsa jwif Jerizalèm yo pral mare mèt sentiwon sa a; apre sa, y'ap lage l' nan men moun lòt nasyon yo.
12 And when we heard these things, we called on [him]—both we, and those of that place—not to go up to Jerusalem,
Lè nou tande sa, nou menm ansanm ak tout moun Sezare yo t'ap di Pòl konsa: Tanpri souple, pa moute Jerizalèm.
13 and Paul answered, “Why are you weeping, and crushing my heart? For I am ready, not only to be bound, but also to die at Jerusalem for the Name of the Lord Jesus”;
Men, li reponn nou: Poukisa pou n'ap kriye konsa, pou n'ap chache kraze kouraj mwen konsa? Mwen menm, se pa pare sèlman mwen pare pou m' kite yo mare mwen. Menm si mouri vini, m'ap mouri pou Seyè Jezi nan Jerizalèm.
14 and he not being persuaded, we were silent, saying, “The will of the LORD be done.”
Lè nou wè nou pa t' kapab chanje lide l', nou pa pèsiste sou sa anko. Nou di: Sa Bondye vle a, se sa k'ap fèt.
15 And after these days, having taken [our] vessels, we were going up to Jerusalem,
Apre nou fin pase kèk jou la, nou ranje zafè nou, nou pati pou Jerizalèm.
16 and there went also of the disciples from Caesarea with us, bringing with them him with whom we may lodge, a certain Mnason of Cyprus, an aged disciple.
Te gen kèk nan disip lavil Sezare yo ki te al ansanm avèk nou tou. Yo mennen nou lakay Nazon, moun lil Chip, ki te yon disip depi lontan. Se la nou fè ladesant.
17 And we having come to Jerusalem, the brothers gladly received us,
Lè nou rive Jerizalèm, frè yo resevwa nou ak kè kontan.
18 and on the next day Paul was going in with us to James, all the elders also came,
Nan denmen, Pòl ale lakay Jak ansanm ak nou. Tout chèf reskonsab legliz yo te reyini la.
19 and having greeted them, he was expounding, one by one, each of the things God did among the nations through his ministry,
Pòl di yo bonjou, apre sa li tanmen rakonte yo an detay tou sa Bondye te fè ak travay li nan mitan moun ki pa jwif yo.
20 and they having heard, were glorifying the LORD. They also said to him, “You see, brother, how many myriads there are of Jews who have believed, and all are zealous of the Law,
Lè yo fin tande l', yo tout pran fè lwanj Bondye. Apre sa yo di Pòl: Frè nou, ou wè tout kantite jwif ki kwè nan Jezi. Malgre sa, yo tout byen zele pou lalwa a toujou.
21 and they are instructed concerning you, that you teach departure from Moses to all Jews among the nations, saying not to circumcise the children, nor to walk after the customs;
Yo vin di yo ki jan ou menm Pòl, w'ap moutre tout jwif k'ap viv nan mitan lòt nasyon yo pou yo kite Lalwa Moyiz la tonbe. W'ap di yo pa sikonsi pitit yo, ni yo pa bezwen swiv koutim jwif yo.
22 what then is it? Certainly the multitude must come together, for they will hear that you have come.
Sa pou n' fè la a menm? Paske, talè konsa yo pral konnen ou rive isit la.
23 This, therefore, that we say to you, do. We have four men having a vow on themselves,
Ou pral fè sa nou pral di ou la a: Gen kat moun ki te fè yon ve.
24 having taken these, be purified with them, and be at expense with them, that they may shave the head, and all may know that the things of which they have been instructed concerning you are nothing, but you walk—yourself also—keeping the Law.
Ou pral avèk yo, wa patisipe ansanm ak yo nan tout sèvis y'ap fè pou mete tèt yo nan kondisyon pou sèvi Bondye ankò. Wa fè tout depans pou yo, pou yo kapab fè kale tèt yo. Konsa, tout moun va konnen tou sa yo t'ap di sou ou a pa t' vre. Okontrè, ou menm pou tèt pa ou, ou toujou ap obeyi Lalwa Moyiz la.
25 And concerning those of the nations who have believed, we have written, having given judgment, that they observe no such thing, except to keep themselves both from idol-sacrifices, and blood, and a strangled thing, and whoredom.”
Men, pou moun ki pa jwif yo epi ki kwè nan Jezi koulye a, nou deja ekri yo, nou voye di yo sa n' te deside: piga yo manje vyann bèt ki te ofri pou touye bay zidòl, piga yo manje san, ni vyann bèt ki mouri toufe. Egzante tout dezòd lachè.
26 Then Paul, having taken the men, on the following day, having purified himself with them, was entering into the temple, announcing the fulfilment of the days of the purification, until the offering was offered for each one of them.
Lè sa a, Pòl pran kat mesye yo, epi nan denmen li patisipe avèk yo nan sèvis pou mete yo nan kondisyon pou sèvi Bondye ankò. Apre sa, li al nan tanp lan, li fè konnen ki jou sèvis la va fini, kilè pou yo ofri bèt pou yo touye pou yo chak la.
27 And as the seven days were about to be fully ended, the Jews from Asia having beheld him in the temple, were stirring up all the multitude, and they laid hands on him,
Sèt jou yo te prèt pou fini lè jwif ki soti nan pwovens Lazi yo wè Pòl nan tanp lan. Yo moute tèt foul moun yo, yo mete men sou li.
28 crying out, “Men, Israelites, help! This is the man who, against the people, and the Law, and this place, is teaching all everywhere; and further, also, he brought Greeks into the temple, and has defiled this holy place”;
Yo t'ap rele: Moun ras Izrayèl yo, pote nou konkou! Men nonm k'ap plede mache toupatou pale mal ak tout moun sou do pèp Izrayèl la, sou do Lalwa Moyiz la, sou do tanp sa a. Koulye a, li penmèt li fè moun ki pa jwif antre nan tanp lan, l'ap lakòz kote nou mete apa pou Bondye a pa nan kondisyon pou fè sèvis Bondye.
29 for they had seen before Trophimus, the Ephesian, in the city with him, whom they were supposing that Paul brought into the temple.
(Yo t'ap di sa, paske yo te wè Twofim, moun lavil Efèz, ansanm ak Pòl nan lavil la. Yo te konprann Pòl te fè l' antre nan tanp lan tou.)
30 All the city was also moved and there was a running together of the people, and having laid hold on Paul, they were drawing him out of the temple, and immediately were the doors shut,
Tout lavil la te tèt anba, moun kouri soti toupatou. Yo mete men sou Pòl. Yo trennen l' deyò, epi lamenm yo fèmen tout pòt tanp lan.
31 and they seeking to kill him, a rumor came to the chief captain of the band that all Jerusalem has been thrown into confusion,
Yo t'ap chache yon jan pou touye Pòl, lè nouvèl la rive nan zòrèy kòmandan batayon women an. Yo te vin di l' ki jan tout lavil la te tèt anba.
32 who, at once, having taken soldiers and centurions, ran down on them, and they having seen the chief captain and the soldiers, left off beating Paul.
Lamenm li pran kèk ofisye ak kèk sòlda avèk li, li kouri desann bò kote foul moun yo. Yo menm menm, lè yo wè kòmandan an ak sòlda yo yo sispann bat Pòl.
33 Then the chief captain, having come near, took him, and commanded [him] to be bound with two chains, and was inquiring who he may be, and what it is he has been doing,
Kòmandan an pwoche bò kot Pòl, li fè yo arete l', li bay lòd pou yo mare l' ak de chenn. Lèfini, li mande ki moun li te ye, kisa l' te fè.
34 and some were crying out one thing, and some another, among the multitude, and not being able to know the certainty because of the tumult, he commanded him to be carried into the stronghold,
Men, nan foul moun yo, yon pati t'ap rele yon bagay, yon lòt pati t'ap rele yon lòt bagay. Sitèlman yo t'ap fè dezòd, kòmandan an pa t' kapab fin konprann sa yo t'ap di a. Lè l' wè sa, li bay lòd pou yo mennen Pòl nan kazèn lan.
35 and when he came on the steps, it happened he was carried by the soldiers, because of the violence of the multitude,
Lè sòlda yo rive bò eskalye a avèk Pòl, yo te blije leve l' anlè pou yo te sa pase avè l', sitèlman moun yo te ankòlè.
36 for the crowd of the people was following after, crying, “Away with him.”
Yo tout yo t'ap swiv li, yo t'ap rele: Touye li.
37 And Paul being about to be led into the stronghold, says to the chief captain, “Is it permitted to me to say anything to you?” And he said, “Do you know Greek?
Yo tapral fè Pòl antre nan kazèn lan, lè Pòl di kòmandan an: Eske mwen ka di ou kichòy? Kòmandan an mande li: Kouman? Apa ou pale grèk?
38 Are you not, then, the Egyptian who made an uprising before these days, and led the four thousand men of the assassins into the desert?”
Si se sa, se pa ou menm ki ejipsyen an, nonm ki te kòmanse yon revolisyon tou lòt jou a epi ki te mennen katmil (4.000) bandi avè l' nan dezè a?
39 And Paul said, “I, indeed, am a man, a Jew, of Tarsus of Cilicia, a citizen of no insignificant city; and I implore you, permit me to speak to the people.”
Pòl reponn li: Se jwif mwen ye. Mwen fèt lavil Tas nan peyi Silisi. Ou wè se sitwayen yon gwo lavil mwen ye. Tanpri, kite m' pale ak pèp la.
40 And he having given him leave, Paul having stood on the stairs, beckoned with the hand to the people, and there having been a great silence, he spoke to them in the Hebrew dialect, saying:
Kòmandan an ba l' pèmisyon. Lè sa a, Pòl kanpe sou eskalye a, li fè pèp la yon siy avèk men li. Lè yo sispann fè bri, Pòl pale ak yo nan lang ebre. Li di yo konsa:
