Acts 13
1 Now there were at Antioch, in the church that was [there], prophets and teachers, Barnabas, and Symeon that was called Niger, and Lucius of Cyrene, and Manaen the foster-brother of Herod the tetrarch, 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 as they ministered to the Lord, and fasted, the Holy Ghost said, Separate me Barnabas and Saul for the work whereunto 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, when they had fasted and prayed and laid their 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 So they, being sent forth by the Holy Ghost, went down to Seleucia; and from thence 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 when they were at Salamis, they proclaimed the word of God in the synagogues of the Jews: and they had also John as their attendant.
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 when they had gone through the whole island unto Paphos, they found a certain sorcerer, a false prophet, a Jew, whose name was 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 which was with the proconsul, Sergius Paulus, a man of understanding. The same called unto him Barnabas and Saul, and sought 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 But Elymas the sorcerer (for so is his name by interpretation) withstood them, seeking to turn aside 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 But Saul, who is also [called] Paul, filled with the Holy Ghost, fastened his eyes on him,
Men, Sòl (yo te rele Pòl tou), anba pouvwa Sentespri, fikse je l' sou majisyen an,
10 and said, O full of all guile and all villany, thou son of the devil, thou enemy of all righteousness, wilt thou not cease to pervert 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, the hand of the Lord is upon thee, and thou shalt be blind, not seeing the sun for a season. And immediately there fell on him a mist and a darkness; and he went about 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, when he saw what was done, 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 Now Paul and his company set sail from Paphos, and came to Perga in Pamphylia: and John departed from them and returned 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 But they, passing through from Perga, came to Antioch of Pisidia; and they went into the synagogue on the sabbath day, and 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 the prophets the rulers of the synagogue sent unto them, saying, Brethren, if ye have any word of exhortation for 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 stood up, and beckoning with the hand said, Men of Israel, and ye that fear God, hearken.
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 exalted the people when they sojourned in the land of Egypt, and with a high arm led he them forth out of it.
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 for about the time of forty years suffered he their manners in the wilderness.
Pandan karantan, li pran pasyans ak yo nan dezè a.
19 And when he had destroyed seven nations in the land of Canaan, he gave [them] their land for an inheritance, for about four hundred and fifty years:
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 he gave [them] 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 afterward they asked for a king: and God gave unto them Saul the son of Kish, a man of the tribe of Benjamin, for the space of 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 when he had removed him, he raised up David to be their king; to whom also he bare witness, and said, I have found David the son of Jesse, a man after my heart, who shall 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 man’s seed hath God according to promise brought unto Israel a Saviour, Jesus;
Se Jezi, yonn nan pitit pitit David yo, Bondye mete pou delivre pèp Izrayèl la, jan l' te pwomèt la.
24 when John had first preached before his coming the baptism of repentance 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 his course, he said, What suppose ye that I am? I am not [he]. But behold, there cometh one after me, the shoes of whose feet I am not worthy to unloose.
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 Brethren, children of the stock of Abraham, and those among you that fear God, to us is the word of this salvation sent forth.
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 they that dwell in Jerusalem, and their rulers, because they knew him not, nor the voices of the prophets which are read every sabbath, fulfilled [them] by condemning [him].
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 though they found no cause of death [in him], yet asked they 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 had fulfilled all things that were written of him, they took him down from the tree, and 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 But God raised him from the dead:
Men, Bondye fè l' leve soti vivan nan lanmò.
31 and he was seen for many days of them that came up with him from Galilee to Jerusalem, who are now his witnesses unto 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 bring you good tidings of the promise made unto the fathers,
Nou menm, nou vin fè nou konnen bon nouvèl sa a isit la. Bagay Bondye te pwomèt zansèt nou yo,
33 how that God hath fulfilled the same unto our children, in that he raised up Jesus; as also it is written in the second psalm, Thou art my Son, this day have I begotten thee.
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 as concerning that he raised him up from the dead, now no more to return to corruption, he hath spoken on this wise, I will give you the holy and sure [blessings] of David.
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 Because he saith also in another [psalm], Thou wilt not give thy 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, after he had in his own generation served the counsel of God, fell on sleep, and was laid unto 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 saw no corruption.
Men, moun Bondye te leve soti vivan nan lanmò a, li pa janm pouri anba tè.
38 Be it known unto you therefore, brethren, that through this man is proclaimed unto you remission of sins:
-(we vèsè pwochen)
39 and by him every one that believeth is justified from all things, from which ye could not be justified by the law of Moses.
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 Beware therefore, lest that come upon [you], which is spoken in the prophets;
Atansyon pou bagay pwofèt yo te di a pa rive nou:
41 Behold, ye despisers, and wonder, and perish; For I work a work in your days, A work which ye shall in no wise believe, if one declare it unto 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 as they went out, they besought that these words might be spoken to them the next sabbath.
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 Now when the synagogue broke up, many of the Jews and of the devout proselytes followed Paul and Barnabas: who, speaking to them, urged them to continue 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 the next sabbath almost the whole 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 But when the Jews saw the multitudes, they were filled with jealousy, and contradicted the things which were spoken by Paul, and blasphemed.
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 Paul and Barnabas spake out boldly, and said, It was necessary that the word of God should first be spoken to you. Seeing ye thrust it from you, and judge yourselves unworthy of eternal life, lo, we turn to the Gentiles. (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 hath the Lord commanded us, [saying], I have set thee for a light of the Gentiles, That thou shouldest be for salvation unto the uttermost part 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 as the Gentiles heard this, they were glad, and glorified the word of God: and as many as were ordained to eternal life believed. (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 throughout all the region.
Pawòl Bondye a t'ap gaye toupatou nan peyi a.
50 But the Jews urged on the devout women of honourable estate, and the chief men of the city, and stirred up a persecution against Paul and Barnabas, and cast them out of 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 But they shook off the dust of their feet against them, and came unto Iconium.
Pòl ak Banabas souke pousyè pye yo sou yo, y' ale lavil Ikoniòm.
52 And the disciples were filled with joy and with the Holy Ghost.
Nan Antiòch menm, disip yo te kontan anpil, Sentespri te plen kè yo.
