Acts 1
1 The former narrative I made, O Theophilus, of all that Jesus both did and taught from the beginning
Teofil monchè: Nan premye liv mwen an, mwen te rakonte tou sa Jezi te fè ak tout bagay li te moutre pèp la, depi nan konmans man,
2 until the day in which, after he had through the Holy Spirit given commandments to the apostles whom he had chosen, he was taken up;
jouk jou li moute nan syèl la. Anvan l' te moute a, li te pale ak moun li te chwazi pou sèvi apòt. Avèk pouvwa Sentespri sou li, li ba yo lòd sa pou yo fè.
3 to whom also he showed himself living, after he had suffered, by many sure proofs, appearing to them during forty days, and speaking of the things pertaining to the kingdom of God.
Apre lanmò li, li te parèt plizyè fwa devan yo. Li te ba yo divès prèv li te vivan ankò. Pandan karant jou, li fè yo wè l', li pale yo sou peyi kote Bondye wa a.
4 And while in assembly with them, he commanded them not to depart from Jerusalem, but to wait for what had been promised by the Father, which [[said he]] ye heard from me;
Yon jou yo t'ap manje ansanm, Jezi ba yo lòd sa a: Pa kite lavil Jerizalèm. Rete tann sa Papa a te pwomèt la, kado mwen t'ap pale nou an.
5 for John indeed baptized with water, but ye will be baptized in the Holy Spirit not many days hence.
Jan te batize nou nan dlo, men nan kèk jou ankò, nou pral resevwa batèm nan Sentespri a.
6 They therefore, having come together, asked him, saying, Lord, art thou at this time about to restore the kingdom to Israel?
Lè sa a, moun ki te reyini bò kot Jezi yo pran mande li: Mèt, èske se koulye a ou pral mete gouvènman pèp Izrayèl la sou pye l' ankò?
7 But he said to them, It belongeth not to you to know times or seasons, which the Father appointed by his own authority.
Jezi reponn yo: Nou pa bezwen konnen ki jou ni ki lè sa va fèt. Se Papa a ki fikse dat la li menm, pou kont li.
8 But ye will receive power when the Holy Spirit hath come upon you; and ye will be my witnesses, both in Jerusalem and in all Judaea, and in Samaria, and to the end of the earth.
Men, lè Sentespri a va desann sou nou, n'a resevwa yon pouvwa. Lè sa a, n'a sèvi m' temwen nan Jerizalèm, nan tout peyi Jide ak nan tout peyi Samari, jouk nan dènye bout latè.
9 And having thus spoken, while they beheld, he was taken up; and a cloud received him out of their sight.
Apre li fin di yo sa, li moute nan syèl. Antan yo t'ap gade li, yon nwaj vin bouche l' devan je yo.
10 And while they were looking earnestly into heaven as he went up, lo! two men stood by them in white apparel,
Yo te gen je yo fikse nan syèl la kote Jezi t'ap moute a, lè dezòm, abiye tout an blan, parèt konsa bò kote yo.
11 who said, Men of Galilee, why stand ye gazing up into heaven? This Jesus, who hath been taken up from you into heaven, will come in the same manner in which ye beheld him going into heaven.
Dezòm yo di yo: Nou menm, moun Galile, poukisa nou rete la ap gade syèl la konsa? Jezi sa a ki fèk sot nan mitan nou an pou moute nan syèl la, li gen pou l' tounen menm jan nou wè l' moute nan syèl la.
12 Then they returned to Jerusalem, from the mount called Olivet, which is near Jerusalem, within a sabbath-day's journey.
Apre sa, apòt yo desann mòn Oliv, yo tounen Jerizalèm. Mòn lan te toupre lavil la, distans yon kilomèt konsa.
13 And when they had come in, they went up into the upper room where they were making their abode, namely, Peter and John and James and Andrew, Philip and Thomas, Bartholomew and Matthew, James the son of Alphaeus, and Simon the zealot, and Judas the brother of James.
Lè yo rive Jerizalèm, yo moute nan chanm anwo kay kote yo konn ye a. Lè sa a te gen Pyè, Jan, Jak ak Andre, Filip ak Toma, Batèlmi ak Matye, Jak, pitit Alfe a, Simon, nonm patriyòt la, epi Jid, pitit Jak la.
14 These all continued with one accord in prayer, with women and Mary the mother of Jesus, and his brothers.
Yo tout mete tèt yo ansanm, yo t'ap lapriye san rete. Medam yo te la tou ansanm ak Mari, manman Jezi, ak frè l' yo tou.
15 And in those days Peter stood up in the midst of the brethren, and said, (the number of the names together was about one hundred and twenty, )
Yon jou tout frè yo te sanble, te gen sanven (120) moun antou konsa. Piè kanpe nan mitan yo, li di:
16 Brethren, it was necessary that this scripture should be fulfilled, which the Holy Spirit through the mouth of David spoke before concerning Judas, who became guide to those who took Jesus.
Frè m' yo, sa Sentespri te anonse nan Liv yo, fòk sa te rive vre. Se konsa, nan bouch David, li te fè konnen davans ki jan Jida t'apral mennen moun ki te arete Jezi yo.
17 For he was numbered among us, and obtained the allotment of this ministry.
Jida te yonn nan nou, li te gen sèvis pa l' nan travay nou an.
18 Now this man purchased a field with the wages of the iniquity; and falling headlong he burst asunder in the middle, and all his bowels gushed out.
(Avèk lajan yon te ba l' pou krim lan, Jida te achte yon moso tè. Se la li tonbe sou tèt, vant li pete, tout zantray li gaye sot deyò.
19 And it became known to all the inhabitants of Jerusalem, so that that field is called in their own tongue, Aceldamach, that is, Field of Blood.
Se bagay tout moun nan Jerizalèm konnen byen. Se pou sa nan lang yo, yo te rele tè a: Akeldama, ki vle di: jaden san an.)
20 For it is written in the book of Psalms, “Let his habitation be made desolate, and let no one dwell therein;” and, “Let another take his office.”
Men sa ki ekri nan Liv Sòm yo: Se pou kay li rete san moun. Se pou pesonn pa rete ladan li. Pi lwen ankò nou jwenn: Se pou yon lòt moun pran plas li nan travay la.
21 Of these men, therefore, who accompanied us all the time that the Lord Jesus went in and out among us,
Se poutèt sa, nou bezwen yon lòt moun ansanm ak nou pou sèvi temwen Seyè Jezi te leve soti vivan nan lanmò. Moun sa a, fòk se yonn nan moun ki te toujou la avèk nou tout tan Seyè Jezi t'ap mache avèk nou nan tout peyi a,
22 from the baptism of John until the day when he was taken up from us, must one be made a witness with us of his resurrection.
depi lè Jan te batize l' la jouk jou li te kite nou an pou l' moute nan syèl la.
23 And they proposed two, Joseph called Barsabbas, who was surnamed Justus, and Matthias.
Yo bay non de moun: Jozèf, yo te rele Basabas ki te gen yon ti non Jistis, epi Matyas.
24 And they prayed saying, Thou, Lord, who knowest the hearts of all men, show which of these two thou hast chosen
Apre sa, yo lapriyè konsa: Bondye, ou menm ki konnen kè tout moun, moutre nou kilès ou chwazi nan de moun sa yo,
25 to take the part of this ministry and apostleship, from which Judas by transgression fell away, that he might go to his own place.
pou sèvi apòt nan plas Jida te kite pou li al kote ki te pou li a.
26 And they cast lots for them; and the lot fell upon Matthias, and he was numbered with the eleven apostles.
Apre sa, yo tire osò: se Matyas ki soti. Se konsa yo mete l' ansanm ak onz apòt yo.
