Acts 1
1 The former treatise I made, O Theophilus, concerning all that Jesus began both to do and to teach,
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 he was received up, after that he had given commandment through the Holy Ghost unto the apostles whom he had chosen:
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 he also shewed himself alive after his passion by many proofs, appearing unto them by the space of forty days, and speaking the things concerning 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, being assembled together with them, he charged them not to depart from Jerusalem, but to wait for the promise of 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 shall be baptized with the Holy Ghost 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, when they were come together, asked him, saying, Lord, dost thou at this time 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 And he said unto them, It is not for you to know times or seasons, which the Father hath set within 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 shall receive power, when the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be my witnesses both in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea and Samaria, and unto the uttermost part 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 when he had said these things, as they were looking, 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 stedfastly into heaven as he went, behold, 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 which also said, Ye men of Galilee, why stand ye looking into heaven? this Jesus, which was received up from you into heaven, shall so come in like manner as 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 returned they unto Jerusalem from the mount called Olivet, which is nigh unto Jerusalem, a sabbath day’s journey off.
Apre sa, apòt yo desann mòn Oliv, yo tounen Jerizalèm. Mòn lan te toupre lavil la, distans yon kilomèt konsa.
13 And when they were come in, they went up into the upper chamber, where they were abiding; both 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 son] 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 with one accord continued stedfastly in prayer, with the women, and Mary the mother of Jesus, and with his brethren.
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 these days Peter stood up in the midst of the brethren, and said (and there was a multitude of persons [gathered] together, about a 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 needful that the scripture should be fulfilled, which the Holy Ghost spake before by the mouth of David concerning Judas, who was guide to them that 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 received his portion in this ministry.
Jida te yonn nan nou, li te gen sèvis pa l' nan travay nou an.
18 (Now this man obtained a field with the reward of his iniquity; and falling headlong, he burst asunder in the midst, 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 dwellers at Jerusalem; insomuch that in their language that field was called Akeldama, that is, The 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 man dwell therein: and, His office let another take.
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 the men therefore which have companied with us all the time that the Lord Jesus went in and went 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 beginning from the baptism of John, unto the day that he was received up from us, of these must one become 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 put forward 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, and said, Thou, Lord, which knowest the hearts of all men, shew of these two the one whom 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 place in this ministry and apostleship, from which Judas 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 gave 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.
