Acts 28
1 And having been saved, then they knew that the island is called Malta,
Se lè nou fin sove, nou vin konnen lil la te rele Malt.
2 and the foreigners were showing us no ordinary kindness, for having kindled a fire, they received us all, because of the pressing rain, and because of the cold;
Moun peyi a te aji byen anpil avèk nou. Lapli t'ap tonbe, te fè frèt anpil. Yo limen yon gwo boukan pou resevwa nou.
3 but Paul having gathered together a quantity of sticks, and having laid [them] on the fire, a viper—having come out of the heat—fastened on his hand.
Pòl te ranmase yon ti pakèt fachin, li t'ap mete l' nan dife a lè yon sèpan soti nan chalè dife a, li vlope nan men li.
4 And when the foreigners saw the beast hanging from his hand, they said to one another, “Certainly this man is a murderer, whom, having been saved out of the sea, the justice did not permit to live”;
Lè moun zile yo wè sèpan an pandye nan men Pòl, yonn t'ap di lòt: Gen lè nonm sa a se yon ansasen. Li chape nan nofraj la, epi men jistis Bondye ap pousib li toujou.
5 he then, indeed, having shaken off the beast into the fire, suffered no evil,
Pòl annik souke men l', epi bèt la tonbe nan dife a. Li pa t' santi anyen ankò.
6 and they were expecting him to be about to be inflamed, or to suddenly fall down dead, and they, expecting [it] a long time, and seeing nothing uncommon happening to him, changing [their] minds, said he was a god.
Lòt moun yo menm t'ap tann pou yo wè Pòl vin anfle osinon pou l' tonbe mouri frèt. Moun yo tann, yo tann. Lè yo wè anyen pa rive l', yo chanje lide, yo di: Nonm sa a, se yon bondye.
7 And in the neighborhood of that place were lands of the principal man of the island, by name Publius, who, having received us, courteously lodged [us for] three days;
Toupre bò la, te gen yon bitasyon ki te pou Pibliyis, pi grannèg nan lil la. Li resevwa nou ak kè kontan. Nou fè ladesant lakay li pandan twa jou.
8 and it came to pass, the father of Publius was lying, oppressed with fevers and dysentery, to whom Paul, having entered and having prayed, having laid [his] hands on him, healed him;
Papa Pibliyis te kouche malad ak yon lafyèb ak dyare. Pòl antre ale wè l', li lapriyè, li mete men l' sou tèt li, li geri li.
9 this, therefore, being done, also the others in the island having sicknesses were coming and were healed;
Apre sa, tout lòt moun ki te malad nan lil la te vini tou. Yo tout te geri.
10 who also honored us with many honors, and we setting sail—they were loading [us] with the things that were necessary.
Yo fè nou anpil kado. Lè pou n' anbake menm, yo ban nou tou sa nou te bezwen pou vwayaj la.
11 And after three months, we set sail in a ship (that had wintered in the island) of Alexandria, with the sign Dioscuri,
Apre twa mwa, nou pati nan yon batiman Aleksandri ki te pase tout tan fredi a nan lil la. Yo te rele batiman an Marasa.
12 and having landed at Syracuse, we remained three days,
Lè nou rive Sirakiz, nou rete la pandan twa jou.
13 there having gone around, we came to Rhegium, and after one day, a south wind having sprung up, the second [day] we came to Puteoli,
Lè nou pati, nou lonje kòt la jouk nou rive Rijio. Nan denmen, yon van swèt leve: apre de jou vwayaj nou rive Pouzòl.
14 where, having found brothers, we were called on to remain with them seven days, and thus we came to Rome;
La, nou jwenn kèk frè ki mande pou n' pase sèt jou ak yo. Se konsa nou rive lavil Wòm.
15 and there, the brothers having heard the things concerning us, came forth to meet us, as far as [the] Forum of Appius, and Three Taverns—whom Paul having seen, having given thanks to God, took courage.
Frè lavil Wòm yo ki te pran nouvèl nou vin kontre nou jouk nan Mache Apiyis ak nan Kalfou Twa Kafe. Lè Pòl wè yo, li di Bondye mèsi, li pran kouraj.
16 And when we came to Rome, the centurion delivered up the prisoners to the captain of the barracks, but Paul was permitted to remain by himself, with the soldier guarding him.
Lè nou rive Wòm, yo kite Pòl rete pou kont li ak yon sèl sòlda pou veye li.
17 And it came to pass after three days, Paul called together those who are the principal men of the Jews, and they having come together, he said to them: “Men, brothers, I—having done nothing contrary to the people, or to the customs of the fathers—a prisoner from Jerusalem, was delivered up into the hands of the Romans;
Apre twa jou, Pòl fè rele chèf jwif yo ki lavil Wòm. Lè yo reyini, li di yo: Frè m' yo, san m' pa fè anyen kont pèp la, ni kont koutim zansèt nou yo, jwif yo rete konsa, yo arete m' lavil Jerizalèm, yo lage m' nan men women yo.
18 who having examined me, were willing to release [me], because of their being no cause of death in me,
Lè women yo fin keksyonnen m', yo te vle lage m' paske yo pa t' jwenn okenn rezon ki pou ta fè m' merite lanmò.
19 and the Jews having spoken against [it], I was constrained to appeal to Caesar—not as having anything to accuse my nation of;
Men, jwif yo kenbe la ak yo. Mwen te blije mande pou Seza tande kòz mwen. Men, mwen menm pou tèt pa m', mwen pa gen okenn plent pou m' fè pou moun menm peyi avè m' yo.
20 for this cause, therefore, I called for you to see and to speak with [you], for because of the hope of Israel I am bound with this chain.”
Se poutèt sa mwen fè rele nou pou m' wè nou, pou m' pale ak nou, pou m' di nou se poutèt moun pèp Izrayèl t'ap tann lan kifè yo mare m' ak chenn sa a.
21 And they said to him, “We neither received letters concerning you from Judea, nor did anyone who came of the brothers declare or speak any evil concerning you,
Yo reponn li: Nou pa resevwa okenn lèt soti peyi Jide sou ou. Okenn frè pa soti laba vin isit pou ban nou nouvèl, ni pou pale mal sou ou.
22 and we think it good from you to hear what you think, for indeed, concerning this sect it is known to us that it is spoken against everywhere”;
Men, nou ta renmen tande kisa ou gen nan tèt ou, paske nou konnen toupatou yo pa vle wè gwoup ou fè pati a.
23 and having appointed him a day, more of them came to him, to the lodging, to whom he was setting [it] forth, testifying fully the Kingdom of God, persuading them also of the things concerning Jesus, both from the Law of Moses, and the Prophets, from morning until evening,
Yo fikse l' yon jou. Lè sa a, yo te anpil ki te vin jwenn li kote li te ye a. Depi nan maten jouk nan aswè, Pòl t'ap ba yo esplikasyon: li t'ap fè yo konnen gouvènman Bondye ki wa a. Li pran lalwa Moyiz la ak liv pwofèt yo, li t'ap chache fè yo rekonèt ki moun Jezi ye.
24 and some, indeed, were believing the things spoken, and some were not believing.
Gen ladan yo ki te kwè sa l' t'ap di yo. Men, gen lòt ki pa t' vle kwè menm.
25 And not being agreed with one another, they were going away, Paul having spoken one word, “The Holy Spirit spoke well through Isaiah the prophet to our fathers,
Yo vire do yo san yo pa t' tonbe dakò. Lè Pòl wè sa, li ajoute pawòl sa a pou yo: Sentespri te gen rezon pale konsa ak zansèt nou yo nan bouch pwofèt Ezayi, lè l' te di:
26 saying, Go on to this people and say, With hearing you will hear, and you will not understand, and seeing you will see, and you will not perceive,
Ale jwenn pèp sa a, di l' pou mwen: Pou tande n'a tande nan zòrèy nou, men nou p'ap konprann anyen. Pou gade n'a gade ak je nou, men nou p'ap wè.
27 for the heart of this people was made obtuse, and with the ears they barely heard, and they closed their eyes, lest they may see with the eyes, and may understand with the heart, and should turn, and I may heal them.
Paske lespri pèp sa a vin lou, yo bouche zòrèy yo, yo fèmen je yo, pou yo pa wè ak je yo, pou yo pa tande nan zòrèy yo, pou yo pa konprann ak lespri yo, pou yo pa tounen vin jwenn mwen pou m' geri yo. Se Bondye menm ki di sa.
28 Be it known, therefore, to you, that the salvation of God was sent to the nations, these also will hear it”;
Apre sa, Pòl di yo: Koulye a, nou fèt pou nou konnen Bondye fè moun lòt nasyon yo konnen l'ap delivre yo tou. Yo menm, y'ap tande li.
29 [[and he having said these things, the Jews went away, having much debate among themselves; ]]
Lè l' te fin di sa, jwif yo al fè wout yo, yo t'ap diskite yonn ak lòt.
30 and Paul remained an entire two years in his own hired [house], and was receiving all those coming in to him,
Pòl te rete pandan dezan nan yon kay li te lwe. Li te resevwa tout moun ki te vin wè li.
31 preaching the Kingdom of God, and teaching the things concerning the Lord Jesus Christ with all boldness—unforbidden.
Li t'ap fè konnen gouvènman Bondye ki wa a, li t'ap moutre moun yo tout bagay sou Jezikri, Seyè a, kareman san pesonn pa janm chache l' kont.
