Acts 11
1 And the apostles and brethren that were in Judea, heard that the Gentiles also had received the word of God.
Alò, apòt yo ak frè fidèl yo ki te nan tout Judée te tande ke pèp etranje yo osi te resevwa pawòl Bondye a.
2 And when Peter had come to Jerusalem, they that were of the circumcision contended with him,
Men lè Pierre te vin monte Jérusalem, sila ki te sikonsi yo te vin pa dakò avèk li.
3 Saying, Thou wentest in to men uncircumcised, and didst eat with them.
Yo t ap di: “Ou te ale kote moun ensikonsi yo, e te manje avèk yo.”
4 But Peter rehearsed [the matter] from the beginning, and expounded [it] by order to them, saying,
Konsa, Pierre te kòmanse eksplike yo istwa a nan lòd ke tout bagay te rive yo. Li te di:
5 I was in the city of Joppa praying: and in a trance I saw a vision, A certain vessel descend, as it had been a great sheet, let down from heaven by four corners; and it came even to me:
“Mwen te nan vil Joppé, e mwen te nan lapriyè. Nan yon pwofon somèy mwen te fè yon vizyon; yon sèten objè ki te vin desann kon yon gwo dra ki kenbe nan kat kwen soti nan syèl la, e li te vini tou dwat devan mwen.
6 Upon which when I had fastened my eyes, I considered, and saw four-footed beasts of the earth, and wild beasts, and creeping animals, and fowls of the air.
Lè m te fikse zye m sou li, e t ap gade l, mwen te wè bèt latè a kat pye, bèt sovaj, reptil, ak zwazo syèl yo.
7 And I heard a voice saying to me, Arise, Peter; slay and eat.
Konsa, mwen te tande yon vwa ki te di m: ‘Leve Pierre; touye e manje.’
8 But I said, Not so, Lord: for nothing common or unclean hath at any time entered into my mouth.
“Men mwen te di: ‘Non Senyè, paske anyen ki pa sen, oswa ki pa pwòp pa janm antre nan bouch mwen.’
9 But the voice answered me again from heaven, What God hath cleansed, [that] call not thou common.
“Men yon vwa ki soti nan syèl la te reponn yon dezyèm fwa: ‘Sa ke Bondye fè pwòp, pa konsidere l ankò pa sen.’
10 And this was done three times: and all were drawn up again into heaven.
Sa te fèt twa fwa, epi tout bagay yo te rale monte ankò nan syèl la.
11 And behold, immediately there were three men already come to the house where I was, sent from Cesarea to me.
“Epi gade byen, nan moman sa a, twa mesye ki te voye kote mwen sòti Césarée, te parèt devan kay la kote nou te rete a.
12 And the Spirit bade me go with them, nothing doubting. Moreover, these six brethren accompanied me, and we entered into the man's house:
“Lespri a te di m ale avèk yo san krent. Sis frè sila yo osi te ale avè m, e nou te antre nan kay mesye a.
13 And he showed us how he had seen an angel in his house, who stood and said to him, Send men to Joppa, and call for Simon, whose surname is Peter;
“Epi li te rapòte kijan li te wè zanj lan kanpe lakay li a, e te di: ‘Voye Joppé pou fè Simon, ke yo rele osi Pierre, vin isit la.
14 Who shall tell thee words, by which thou and all thy house shall be saved.
Li va pale nou pawòl yo. Ak yo menm nou va sove, nou menm avèk tout lakay nou.’
15 And as I began to speak, the Holy Spirit fell on them, as on us at the beginning.
“Epi lè mwen te kòmanse pale Lespri Sen an te vin tonbe sou yo menm jan ke li te fè sou nou nan kòmansman an.
16 Then I remembered the word of the Lord, how he said, John indeed baptized with water; but ye shall be baptized with the Holy Spirit.
Konsa, mwen te sonje pawòl Senyè a, jan Li te konn di a: ‘Jean te batize avèk dlo, men nou va batize avèk Lespri Sen an.’
17 Forasmuch then as God gave them the like gift as [he did] to us, who believed on the Lord Jesus Christ, what was I that I could withstand God?
“Donk, si Bondye te bay yo menm don ak nou, lè nou te vin kwè nan Senyè Jésus Kri a, kilès mwen te ye pou m ta kab anpeche Bondye?”
18 When they heard these things, they held their peace, and glorified God, saying, Then hath God also to the Gentiles granted repentance to life.
Lè yo te tande sa a, yo te vin kalme, e te bay Bondye glwa. Yo te di: “Ebyen konsa, Bondye akòde a lòt nasyon yo tou, repantans ki mennen a lavi a.”
19 Now they who were dispersed upon the persecution that arose about Stephen traveled as far as Phenice, and Cyprus, and Antioch, preaching the word to none but to the Jews only.
Answit, moun ki te gaye akoz pèsekisyon ki te leve a, ansanm ak zafè Étienne nan, te fè wout yo pou Phénicie, Chypre, ak Antioche, e yo t ap pale pawòl la a Jwif yo sèlman.
20 And some of them were men of Cyprus and Cyrene, who when they had come to Antioch, spoke to the Grecians, preaching the Lord Jesus.
Men te gen nan yo, moun Chypre ak Cyrène ki te vini Antioche. E yo te kòmanse pale ak Grèk yo osi, e t ap preche Senyè Jésus a.
21 And the hand of the Lord was with them: and a great number believed, and turned to the Lord.
Men la a Senyè a te avèk yo, e yon gran kantite ki te kwè te vire vè Senyè a.
22 Then tidings of these things came to the ears of the church which was in Jerusalem: and they sent forth Barnabas, that he should go as far as Antioch.
Nouvèl yo te rive nan zòrèy a legliz la nan Jérusalem, e yo te voye Barnabas Antioche.
23 Who, when he came, and had seen the grace of God, was glad, and exhorted them all that with purpose of heart they would cleave to the Lord.
Konsa, lè l rive, e te wè gras Bondye a, li te rejwi. Li te kòmanse ankouraje yo tout, pou yo avèk yon sèl panse, ta rete fidèl a Senyè a.
24 For he was a good man, and full of the Holy Spirit, and of faith: and many people were added to the Lord.
Paske li te yon bon moun. Li te ranpli ak Lespri Sen an, ak lafwa. Konsa, anpil moun te adisyonen a Senyè a.
25 Then Barnabas departed to Tarsus, to seek Saul:
Barnabas te kite Tarse pou ale jwenn Saul.
26 And when he had found him, he brought him to Antioch. And it came to pass, that a whole year they assembled themselves with the church, and taught many people. And the disciples were first called Christians in Antioch.
Lè li te twouve li, li te mennen l Antioche. Pandan yon ane antye yo te reyini avèk legliz la, e yo te enstwi anpil moun. Disip yo te premyèman rele “Kretyen” la a, nan Antioche.
27 And in these days came prophets from Jerusalem to Antioch.
Alò nan tan sa a, kèk pwofèt te sòti Jérusalem pou rive Antioche.
28 And there stood up one of them named Agabus, and signified by the Spirit that there should be great dearth throughout all the world: which came to pass in the days of Claudius Cesar.
Youn nan yo ke yo te rele Agabus te kanpe. Li te kòmanse endike pa Lespri a, ke an verite, t ap gen yon gwo grangou nan tout mond lan. Epi se sa menm ki te rive sou règn Claude la.
29 Then the disciples, every man according to his ability, determined to send relief to the brethren who dwelt in Judea.
Epi selon mwayen ke nenpòt disip te genyen, yo chak te detèmine pou voye asistans pou sekou a frè yo nan Judée.
30 Which also they did, and sent it to the elders by the hands of Barnabas and Saul.
Se konsa yo te fè, e te voye l pa men Barnabas ak Saul pou livre bay ansyen yo.
