Acts 7
1 And the high priest said, Are these things so?
Granprèt la mande Etyèn: Eske se vre?
2 And he said, Brethren and fathers, hearken. The God of glory appeared unto our father Abraham, when he was in Mesopotamia, before he dwelt in Haran,
Etyèn reponn: Frè m' yo, grandèt mwen yo, koute. Bondye, ki gen bèl pouvwa a, te parèt devan Abraram, zansèt nou. Lè sa a, li te rete nan peyi Mezopotami, li pa t' ankò vin rete Karan.
3 and said unto him, Get thee out of thy land, and from thy kindred, and come into the land which I shall shew thee.
Bondye di l' konsa: Kite peyi ou la, kite tout fanmi ou yo ladan l'. Ale nan peyi m'a moutre ou la.
4 Then came he out of the land of the Chaldaeans, and dwelt in Haran: and from thence, when his father was dead, [God] removed him into this land, wherein ye now dwell:
Se konsa, Abraram kite peyi kaldeyen yo, li al rete Karan. Lè papa Abraram mouri, Bondye fè l' kite Karan vin nan peyi kote n'ap viv koulye a.
5 and he gave him none inheritance in it, no, not so much as to set his foot on: and he promised that he would give it to him in possession, and to his seed after him, when [as yet] he had no child.
Lè sa a, Bondye pa t' bay Abraram okenn bitasyon nan peyi a, pa menm yon ti pous tè. Men, Bondye te pwomèt li t'ap ba l' peyi a ki t'ap rete nèt pou li ak pou pitit pitit li yo. Men, lè sa a Abraram pa t' gen pitit.
6 And God spake on this wise, that his seed should sojourn in a strange land, and that they should bring them into bondage, and entreat them evil, four hundred years.
Men sa Bondye te di l': Pitit pitit ou yo gen pou y' al viv nan yon peyi etranje, kote y'ap fè yo tounen esklav, kote y'ap maltrete yo pandan katsanzan (400 an).
7 And the nation to which they shall be in bondage will I judge, said God: and after that shall they come forth, and serve me in this place.
Men, Bondye di l' ankò: Se mwen menm k'ap peni nasyon ki va pran yo fè esklav la. Apre sa, y'a soti kite peyi etranje sa a, y'a vin sèvi m' isit la.
8 And he gave him the covenant of circumcision: and so [Abraham] begat Isaac, and circumcised him the eighth day; and Isaac [begat] Jacob, and Jacob the twelve patriarchs.
Apre sa, Bondye pase yon kontra ak Abraram, li ba li sikonsizyon an pou sèvi mak kontra a. Se konsa Abraram te sikonsi Izarak, pitit gason l' lan, wit jou apre l' te fèt. Menm jan an tou, Izarak te sikonsi Jakòb, pitit li a. Jakòb menm sikonsi douz pitit li yo, zansèt douz branch fanmi pèp Izrayèl la.
9 And the patriarchs, moved with jealousy against Joseph, sold him into Egypt: and God was with him,
Pitit Jakòb yo, zansèt nou yo, fè jalouzi pou Jozèf. Yo vann li tankou yon esklav nan peyi Lejip. Men, Bondye te kanpe la avèk Jozèf.
10 and delivered him out of all his afflictions, and gave him favour and wisdom before Pharaoh king of Egypt; and he made him governor over Egypt and all his house.
Li delivre l' nan tout malè li. Lè Jozèf parèt devan farawon an, wa peyi Lejip la, Bondye ba l' bon konprann, li fè l' aji yon jan ki fè wa a plezi. Farawon an mete Jozèf chèf pou l' gouvènen tout peyi Lejip la ansanm ak kay wa a tou.
11 Now there came a famine over all Egypt and Canaan, and great affliction: and our fathers found no sustenance.
Apre sa, vin gen yon grangou nan tout peyi Lejip ak nan peyi Kanaran. Moun t'ap soufri anpil. Zansèt nou yo pa t' jwenn anyen pou yo te manje.
12 But when Jacob heard that there was corn in Egypt, he sent forth our fathers the first time.
Lè Jakòb tande te gen manje nan peyi Lejip, li voye zansèt nou yo la yon premye fwa.
13 And at the second time Joseph was made known to his brethren; and Joseph’s race became manifest unto Pharaoh.
Dezyèm fwa y' ale a, Jozèf fè frè l' yo rekonèt li. Se konsa farawon an vin fè konesans ak fanmi Jozèf yo.
14 And Joseph sent, and called to him Jacob his father, and all his kindred, threescore and fifteen souls.
Jozèf voye chache Jakòb, papa l', ansanm ak tout fanmi li. Lè sa a, yo te swasannkenz moun antou.
15 And Jacob went down into Egypt; and he died, himself, and our fathers;
Jakòb desann nan peyi Lejip. Se la li mouri, li menm ak tout zansèt nou yo.
16 and they were carried over unto Shechem, and laid in the tomb that Abraham bought for a price in silver of the sons of Hamor in Shechem.
Yo pote kò yo Sichèm, yo antere yo la, nan twou wòch Abraram te achte nan men eritye Emò yo, lavil Sichèm.
17 But as the time of the promise drew nigh, which God vouchsafed unto Abraham, the people grew and multiplied in Egypt,
Lè a t'ap pwoche pou Bondye te kenbe pwomès li te fè Abraram lan. Pèp nou an te vin anpil, chak jou li t'ap vin pi plis toujou nan peyi Lejip la.
18 till there arose another king over Egypt, which knew not Joseph.
Yon lòt wa ki pa t' konnen anyen sou Jozèf te pran kòmandman peyi a.
19 The same dealt subtilly with our race, and evil entreated our fathers, that they should cast out their babes to the end they might not live.
Wa sa a twonpe pèp nou an, li maltrete zansèt nou yo: li fòse yo kite tibebe ki fenk fèt yo deyò pou yo mouri.
20 At which season Moses was born, and was exceeding fair; and he was nourished three months in his father’s house:
Se lè sa a Moyiz te fèt: se te yon bèl pitit devan Bondye. Yo te kenbe l' pandan twa mwa lakay papa li pou ba l' tete.
21 and when he was cast out, Pharaoh’s daughter took him up, and nourished him for her own son.
Men, lè yo te lage l' deyò a, pitit fi farawon an te ranmase l': li elve l' tankou pitit pa li.
22 And Moses was instructed in all the wisdom of the Egyptians; and he was mighty in his words and works.
Se konsa Moyiz te vin gen tout konesans moun peyi Lejip yo. Sou jan l' te pale ak sa l' t'ap fè, yo te wè msye te fò anpil.
23 But when he was well-nigh forty years old, it came into his heart to visit his brethren the children of Israel.
Lè Moyiz vin gen karantan, li fè lide al vizite frè l' yo, moun pèp Izrayèl yo.
24 And seeing one [of them] suffer wrong, he defended him, and avenged him that was oppressed, smiting the Egyptian:
Lè l' rive, li wè yon moun peyi Lejip ki t'ap maltrete yonn nan frè l' yo, li pran defans nonm yo t'ap maltrete a. Li pran revanj li sou moun peyi Lejip la, li touye li.
25 and he supposed that his brethren understood how that God by his hand was giving them deliverance; but they understood not.
Li te kwè frè l' yo ta konprann travay Bondye ki te chwazi l' pou delivre yo a. Men, yo pa t' konprann sa.
26 And the day following he appeared unto them as they strove, and would have set them at one again, saying, Sirs, ye are brethren; why do ye wrong one to another?
Nan denmen, Moyiz wè de nan moun pèp Izrayèl yo ki t'ap goumen. Li te vle fè yo byen ankò, li di yo: Mezanmi, se frè nou ye. Poukisa yonn ap maltrete lòt konsa?
27 But he that did his neighbour wrong thrust him away, saying, Who made thee a ruler and a judge over us?
Men, sa ki t'ap maltrete moun pèp Izrayèl parèy li a bay Moyiz yon zòp, li di l' konsa: Kilès ki mete ou la pou ban nou lòd, osinon pou jije nou?
28 Wouldest thou kill me, as thou killedst the Egyptian yesterday?
Gen lè ou vle touye m' menm jan ou te touye moun peyi Lejip ayè a?
29 And Moses fled at this saying, and became a sojourner in the land of Midian, where he begat two sons.
Lè Moyiz tande pawòl sa yo, li kouri kite peyi a, li al viv nan peyi Madyan. Antan l' te la, li fè de pitit gason.
30 And when forty years were fulfilled, an angel appeared to him in the wilderness of mount Sinai, in a flame of fire in a bush.
Karantan apre sa, yon zanj Bondye parèt devan Moyiz nan yon flanm dife ki t'ap boule yon ti touf bwa nan mitan dezè ki bò Mòn Sinayi a.
31 And when Moses saw it, he wondered at the sight: and as he drew near to behold, there came a voice of the Lord,
Moyiz te sezi lè l' wè aparisyon sa a. Antan l' t'ap pwoche pou gade l' pi pre, li tande vwa Bondye ki t'ap di:
32 I am the God of thy fathers, the God of Abraham, and of Isaac, and of Jacob. And Moses trembled, and durst not behold.
Se mwen menm ki Bondye zansèt ou yo, Bondye Abraram, Bondye Izarak ak Bondye Jakòb. Moyiz pran tranble sitèlman li te pè. Li pa menm louvri je l' pou l' gade.
33 And the Lord said unto him, Loose the shoes from thy feet: for the place whereon thou standest is holy ground.
Lè sa a Bondye di l' ankò: Wete sapat ou, paske kote ou ye a se yon tè ki apa pou Bondye.
34 I have surely seen the affliction of my people which is in Egypt, and have heard their groaning, and I am come down to deliver them: and now come, I will send thee into Egypt.
Mwen wè tray pèp mwen an ap pase nan peyi Lejip, mwen tande jan li ap plenn, mwen desann vin delivre yo. Koulye a, ale non. Se mwen menm k'ap voye ou nan peyi Lejip.
35 This Moses whom they refused, saying, Who made thee a ruler and a judge? him hath God sent [to be] both a ruler and a deliverer with the hand of the angel which appeared to him in the bush.
Moun pèp Izrayèl yo te voye Moyiz jete lè yo te di: Kilès ki mete ou la pou ban nou lòd osinon pou jije nou? Se menm Moyiz sa a Bondye te voye pou kòmande yo, pou delivre yo avèk konkou zanj ki te parèt nan ti touf bwa a.
36 This man led them forth, having wrought wonders and signs in Egypt, and in the Red sea, and in the wilderness forty years.
Se Moyiz ki fè pèp Izrayèl la soti kite peyi Lejip, avèk tout mirak ak tout bèl bagay li te fè nan peyi a bò lanmè Wouj la ak nan dezè a pandan karantan.
37 This is that Moses, which said unto the children of Israel, A prophet shall God raise up unto you from among your brethren, like unto me.
Se menm Moyiz sa a ki te di pèp Izrayèl la: Bondye gen pou l' voye yon pwofèt ban nou tankou l' te voye m' lan: se va yonn nan frè nou yo.
38 This is he that was in the church in the wilderness with the angel which spake to him in the mount Sinai, and with our fathers: who received living oracles to give unto us:
Se li menm ki te la ak pèp Izrayèl la lè yo te sanble nan gwo dezè a; li te la avèk zansèt nou yo ansanm ak zanj Bondye a ki t'ap pale avè l' sou gwo mòn Sinayi a. Se li menm ki te resevwa pawòl ki bay lavi a nan men Bondye epi ki pase yo ban nou.
39 to whom our fathers would not be obedient, but thrust him from them, and turned back in their hearts unto Egypt,
Men, zansèt nou yo pa t' vle obeyi l'; yo mete l' sou kote, epi yo te anvi tounen Lejip.
40 saying unto Aaron, Make us gods which shall go before us: for as for this Moses, which led us forth out of the land of Egypt, we wot not what is become of him.
Yo di Arawon: Fè lòt bondye ki pou mache devan nou, paske nou pa konnen sa ki rive nonm yo rele Moyiz la ki te fè nou soti kite peyi Lejip la.
41 And they made a calf in those days, and brought a sacrifice unto the idol, and rejoiced in the works of their hands.
Lè sa a, yo fè yon estati an fòm yon ti towo bèf, epi yo touye bèt ofri bay zidòl la. Yo te kontan pou sa yo te fè ak men yo a.
42 But God turned, and gave them up to serve the host of heaven; as it is written in the book of the prophets, Did ye offer unto me slain beasts and sacrifices Forty years in the wilderness, O house of Israel?
Men, Bondye vire do l' ba yo, li kite yo adore zetwal ki nan syèl la, jan sa te ekri nan Liv pwofèt yo: Nou menm pèp Izrayèl, èske se pou mwen nou te fè ofrann bèt ak lòt sakrifis, pandan karantan nou pase nan gwo dezè a?
43 And ye took up the tabernacle of Moloch, And the star of the god Rephan, The figures which ye made to worship them: And I will carry you away beyond Babylon.
Non, se pa t' pou mwen. Men, nou redi pote wogatwa zidòl Molòk la, ansanm ak pòtre zetwal Refan, bondye nou an, bann zidòl nou te fè ak men nou pou n' adore! Se poutèt sa, m'ap voye nou jouk lòt bò Babilòn.
44 Our fathers had the tabernacle of the testimony in the wilderness, even as he appointed who spake unto Moses, that he should make it according to the figure that he had seen.
Nan gwo dezè a, zansèt nou yo te gen yon tant kote yo te fèmen de wòch plat lalwa yo. Yo te fè l' jan Bondye te mande Moyiz pou l' fè l' la, dapre modèl li te moutre Moyiz la.
45 Which also our fathers, in their turn, brought in with Joshua when they entered on the possession of the nations, which God thrust out before the face of our fathers, unto the days of David;
Yo pase tant sa a bay grandèt nou yo ki te vin apre. Grandèt nou yo menm te pote l' avèk yo lè Jozye t'ap mennen yo pou yo pran peyi a nan men pèp Bondye t'ap chase met deyò devan yo. Tant la rete la jouk sou tan David.
46 who found favour in the sight of God, and asked to find a habitation for the God of Jacob.
David te jwenn favè Bondye, li te mande l' pèmisyon pou l' te fè yon kay pou Bondye Jakòb la.
47 But Solomon built him a house.
Men se Salomon ki te bati kay la pou li.
48 Howbeit the Most High dwelleth not in [houses] made with hands; as saith the prophet,
Men, Bondye ki anwo nan syèl la pa rete nan kay moun bati ak men yo. Men sa pwofèt la di:
49 The heaven is my throne, And the earth the footstool of my feet: What manner of house will ye build me? saith the Lord: Or what is the place of my rest?
Syèl la se fòtèy kote m' chita a. Se Bondye ki di sa. Tè a se yon ti ban pou m' lonje pye mwen. Ki kalite kay nou ta ka bati pou mwen? Ki kote nou ta ka ban mwen pou m' poze kò m'?
50 Did not my hand make all these things?
Eske se pa mwen ki fè tout bagay sa yo?
51 Ye stiffnecked and uncircumcised in heart and ears, ye do always resist the Holy Ghost: as your fathers did, so do ye.
Ala moun gen tèt di! Tankou moun lòt nasyon yo, nou fèmen kè nou, nou fèmen zòrèy nou bay Bondye, n'ap kenbe tèt ak Sentespri toujou. Nou tankou zansèt nou yo.
52 Which of the prophets did not your fathers persecute? and they killed them which shewed before of the coming of the Righteous One; of whom ye have now become betrayers and murderers;
Kilès nan pwofèt yo zansèt nou yo pa t' pèsekite? Yo te touye tout pwofèt ki te fè konnen davans ki jan Sèvitè Bondye a te gen pou vini. Koulye a, se Sèvitè Bondye a menm nou trayi, se li menm nou touye.
53 ye who received the law as it was ordained by angels, and kept it not.
Se nou menm ki te resevwa lalwa Moyiz nan men zanj Bondye yo, epi se nou menm ankò ki pa obeyi li.
54 Now when they heard these things, they were cut to the heart, and they gnashed on him with their teeth.
Lè manm Gran Konsèy yo tande pawòl sa yo, yo fin pran chenn, yo manje dan yo sou Etyèn sitèlman yo te an kolè.
55 But he, being full of the Holy Ghost, looked up stedfastly into heaven, and saw the glory of God, and Jesus standing on the right hand of God,
Men Etyèn, anba pouvwa Sentespri, leve je l' anlè, li gade syèl la. Li wè tout bèl pouvwa Bondye a ansanm ak Jezi kanpe sou bò dwat Bondye.
56 and said, Behold, I see the heavens opened, and the Son of man standing on the right hand of God.
Li di: Gade, men mwen wè syèl la louvri, ak Moun Bondye voye nan lachè a kanpe sou bò dwat Bondye.
57 But they cried out with a loud voice, and stopped their ears, and rushed upon him with one accord;
Moun yo pran rele byen fò, yo bouche zòrèy yo. Epi yo tout tonbe sou li ansanm.
58 and they cast him out of the city, and stoned him: and the witnesses laid down their garments at the feet of a young man named Saul.
Yo trennen l' deyò lavil la. Yo touye l' ak kout wòch. Moun ki t'ap akize Etyèn yo te mete rad yo nan pye yon jenn gason yo te rele Sòl.
59 And they stoned Stephen, calling upon [the Lord], and saying, Lord Jesus, receive my spirit.
Pandan yo t'ap voye wòch sou Etyèn, Etyèn menm t'ap lapriyè, li t'ap di: Seyè Jezi, resevwa lespri mwen.
60 And he kneeled down, and cried with a loud voice, Lord, lay not this sin to their charge. And when he had said this, he fell asleep.
Apre sa, li tonbe ajenou, li rele byen fò: Seyè, pa mete peche sa a sou kont yo. Lè l' fin di sa, li mouri.
