Acts 1
1 The former book I wrote, Theophilus, told all that Jesus began 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 that he was taken up, after he had given commands through the Holy Spirit to the apostles 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 After his suffering, he presented himself alive to them with many convincing proofs. For forty days he appeared to them, and he spoke about 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 When he was meeting together with them, he commanded them not to leave Jerusalem, but to wait for the promise of the Father, about which, he said, “You 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 that John indeed baptized with water, but you shall be baptized in the Holy Spirit in a few days.”
Jan te batize nou nan dlo, men nan kèk jou ankò, nou pral resevwa batèm nan Sentespri a.
6 When they were assembled together they asked him, “Lord, is this the time you will 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 He said to them, “It is not for you to know the times or the seasons which the Father has determined 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 you will receive power, when the Holy Spirit comes upon you, and you will be my witnesses both in Jerusalem and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends 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 When the Lord Jesus had said these things, as they were looking up, he was raised up, and a cloud hid him from their eyes.
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 While they were looking intensely to heaven as he went, suddenly, two men stood by them in white clothing.
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 They said, “You men of Galilee, why do you stand here looking into heaven? This Jesus who has been taken up from you into heaven, will return in the same manner as you saw 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 of Olives, which is near to Jerusalem, 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 When they arrived, they went up into the upper chamber, where they were staying. They were Peter, John, James, Andrew, Philip, Thomas, Bartholomew, Matthew, James son of Alphaeus, Simon the Zealot, and Judas 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 They were all united as one, as they diligently continued in prayer. Included were the women, 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 In those days Peter stood up in the midst of the brothers, about 120 people, and said,
Yon jou tout frè yo te sanble, te gen sanven (120) moun antou konsa. Piè kanpe nan mitan yo, li di:
16 “Brothers, it was necessary that the scripture should be fulfilled, that the Holy Spirit spoke before by the mouth of David concerning Judas, who guided the ones who arrested 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 one of us and received his share of the benefits of this ministry.”
Jida te yonn nan nou, li te gen sèvis pa l' nan travay nou an.
18 (Now this man bought a field with the earnings he received for his wickedness, and there he fell headfirst, and his body burst open, and all his intestines poured 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 All those living in Jerusalem heard about this, so they called that field in their language “Akeldama,” 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 field be made desolate, and do not let even one person live there'; 'Let someone else take his position of leadership.'
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 It is necessary, therefore, that one of the men who accompanied us all the time 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 beginning from the baptism of John to the day that he was taken up from us, must be 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 They put forward two men, Joseph called Barsabbas, who was also named Justus, and Matthias.
Yo bay non de moun: Jozèf, yo te rele Basabas ki te gen yon ti non Jistis, epi Matyas.
24 They prayed and said, “You, Lord, know the hearts of all people, so reveal which of these two is the one whom you have 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 turned away to go to his own place.”
pou sèvi apòt nan plas Jida te kite pou li al kote ki te pou li a.
26 They cast lots for them, and the lot fell to 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.
