Acts 1
1 The former narrative I made, O Theophilus, of all that Jesus both did and taught from the beginning
Premye istwa ke m te ekri a, chè Théophile, sou tout bagay ke Jésus te kòmanse fè ak enstwi yo,
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;
jis rive jou lè Li te monte nan syèl la apre Li te fin bay lòd selon Lespri Sen an, a apòt ke Li te chwazi yo.
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.
A sila yo osi Li te prezante tèt li vivan apre soufrans Li, e avèk anpil prèv konvenkan, Li te parèt a yo menm pandan karant jou, e te pale avèk yo de bagay ki te konsène wayòm syèl la.
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;
Li te rasanble yo ansanm e te kòmande yo: “Pa kite Jérusalem, men tann sa ke Papa a te pwomèt la; sa ke nou te tande de Mwen menm nan.
5 for John indeed baptized with water, but ye will be baptized in the Holy Spirit not many days hence.
Paske Jean te batize avèk dlo, men nou va batize avèk Lespri Sen an pa a anpil jou de kounye a.”
6 They therefore, having come together, asked him, saying, Lord, art thou at this time about to restore the kingdom to Israel?
Donk, lè yo te reyini ansanm, yo t ap poze Li kesyon, e t ap di: “Senyè èske se nan lè sa a ke W ap restore Wayòm lan an Israël?”
7 But he said to them, It belongeth not to you to know times or seasons, which the Father appointed by his own authority.
Li te di yo: “Se pa nou menm ki pou konnen ni lè ni tan ke Papa a gen tan fikse pa otorite pa L.
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 Nou va resevwa pouvwa lè Lespri Sen an vini sou nou. Nou va temwen Mwen ni nan Jérusalem, ni nan Juda ak Samarie, e jis rive nan dènye ekstremite latè.”
9 And having thus spoken, while they beheld, he was taken up; and a cloud received him out of their sight.
Lè Li te fin di bagay sa yo Li te vin leve anlè pandan yo t ap gade, e yon nyaj te resevwa L. Li te vin disparèt jiskaske yo pa t wè Li.
10 And while they were looking earnestly into heaven as he went up, lo! two men stood by them in white apparel,
Pandan yo t ap toujou gade byen fikse nan syèl la, pandan Li t ap prale, epi vwala de mesye ak vètman blan te kanpe akote L;
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.
E yo menm osi te di: “Moun Galilée yo, poukisa nou kanpe ap gade nan syèl la? Jésus sila a, ki leve kite nou, pou ale nan syèl la, va vini menm jan ke nou wè L ale nan syèl la”.
12 Then they returned to Jerusalem, from the mount called Olivet, which is near Jerusalem, within a sabbath-day's journey.
Alò, yo te retounen Jérusalem sòti nan mòn yo rele Olivier a, ki toupre Jérusalem, a distans mache yon jou Saba.
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 te antre nan vil la, yo te ale nan chanm anlè kote yo t ap rete a; sa vle di, Pierre Jean, Jacques André, Philippe, Thomas, Barthélemy, Matthieu, Jacques, ki te fis Alphée a, Simon, Zelòt la, ak Judas, fis a Jacques la.
14 These all continued with one accord in prayer, with women and Mary the mother of Jesus, and his brothers.
Sa yo avèk yon sèl panse yo t ap toujou pèsevere nan lapriyè, ansanm avèk fanm yo, ak Marie, manman a Jésus, ak frè Li yo.
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, )
Nan lè sa a, Pierre te kanpe nan mitan frè yo (yon asanble de anviwon san ven moun ki te la ansanm) e te 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, Ekriti a te oblije vin akonpli, jan Lespri Sen an te anonse oparavan pa bouch David konsènan Judas ki te vin yon gid a sila ki te arete Jésus yo.
17 For he was numbered among us, and obtained the allotment of this ministry.
Paske li te konte pami nou, e te resevwa pati pa li, nan èv sila a.
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.
“Alò mesye sila te vin achte yon chan avèk pri mechanste li a; e te tonbe tèt devan; vant li te fann e zantray li te vide sòti.
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.
Epi sa te vin byen koni pa tout sila ki te rete Jérusalem yo; pou ke nan pwòp lang pa yo, yo te rele chan sa a Hakeldama, ki vle di chan 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.”
“Paske sa ekri nan liv Sòm Yo: ‘Kite kote li rete a vin devaste; e pa kite pèsòn rete ladan l’; ‘Kite yon lòt moun vin pran pozisyon pa li a’.
21 Of these men, therefore, who accompanied us all the time that the Lord Jesus went in and out among us,
“Donk, li nesesè ke pami moun ki akonpanye nou tout tan ke Senyè Jésus te antre sòti pami nou yo,
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.
kòmanse nan batèm Jean, jis rive jou ke Li te anlève soti nan mitan nou an, youn nan sila yo ta dwe devni yon temwen avèk nou de rezirèksyon Li.”
23 And they proposed two, Joseph called Barsabbas, who was surnamed Justus, and Matthias.
Konsa yo te mete devan de mesye, Joseph ke yo te rele Barsabbas, ki te anplis rele Justus, ak Matthias.
24 And they prayed saying, Thou, Lord, who knowest the hearts of all men, show which of these two thou hast chosen
Yo te priye, e te di: “Ou menm, Senyè ki konnen kè tout moun, montre nou kilès nan de zòm sa yo Ou chwazi a,
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 okipe èv apòt sila a ke Judas te vire kite pou ale nan pwòp plas li a.”
26 And they cast lots for them; and the lot fell upon Matthias, and he was numbered with the eleven apostles.
Yo te fè tiraj osò pou yo, e osò a te tonbe pou Matthias. Konsa, li te ajoute pami onz apòt yo.
