Acts 10
1 Now a Captain of the Italian Regiment, named Cornelius, was quartered at Caesarea.
Alò, te gen yon sèten nonm nan Césarée ke yo te rele Corneille, yon santenye nan kowòt Italyen an.
2 He was religious and God-fearing--and so was every member of his household. He was also liberal in his charities to the people, and continually offered prayer to God.
Li te yon mesye fidèl ki te gen lakrent Bondye avèk tout lakay li, ki te bay anpil charite a pèp Jwif la, e li te priye Bondye kontinyèlman.
3 About three o'clock one afternoon he had a vision, and distinctly saw an angel of God enter his house, who called him by name, saying, "Cornelius!"
Anviwon nevyèm è nan jounen an, li te wè byen klè nan yon vizyon, yon zanj Bondye ki te vin kote li e te di l: “Corneille!”
4 Looking steadily at him, and being much alarmed, he said, "What do you want, Sir?" "Your prayers and charities," he replied, "have gone up and have been recorded before God.
Ak zye l fikse sou li, e gwo laperèz, e te di: “Kisa li ye, Senyè?” Zanj la te di li: “Priyè ou avèk charite ou kon yon rekèt, gen tan monte devan Bondye.
5 And now send to Jaffa and fetch Simon, surnamed Peter.
Koulye a, voye kèk moun Joppé e mande pou yon mesye yo rele Simon, ki rele osi Pierre.
6 He is staying as a guest with Simon, a tanner, who has a house close to the sea."
Li rete lakay a yon bòs tanè yo rele Simon ki rete bò lanmè a.”
7 So when the angel who had been speaking to him was gone, Cornelius called two of his servants and a God-fearing soldier who was in constant attendance on him,
Lè zanj ki t ap pale avè l la te ale, li te rele de nan sèvitè li yo, avèk yon sòlda fidèl nan lafwa ki te sèvi li tout tan.
8 and, after telling them everything, he sent them to Jaffa.
Lè l te fin eksplike yo tout bagay, li te voye yo Joppé.
9 The next day, while they were still on their journey and were getting near the town, about noon Peter went up on the house-top to pray.
Nan jou apre a, pandan yo te nan chemen yo, ap pwoche vil la Pierre te ale sou do kay la nan anviwon sizyèm è pou priye.
10 He had become unusually hungry and wished for food; but, while they were preparing it, he fell into a trance.
Men li te vin grangou, e li te vle manje. Men pandan yo t ap fè preparasyon an, li te tonbe nan yon rèv.
11 The sky had opened to his view, and what seemed to be an enormous sail was descending, being let down to the earth by ropes at the four corners.
Konsa, li te wè syèl la louvri, epi yon bagay tankou yon gwo dra te lonje desann bò kat kwen li yo jiska atè.
12 In it were all kinds of quadrupeds, reptiles and birds,
Ladann l te gen tout kalite bèt kat pye ak kreyati ki rale atè ak zwazo syèl yo.
13 and a voice came to him which said, "Rise, Peter, kill and eat."
Yon vwa te vini sou li: “Leve, Pierre, touye e manje!”
14 "On no account, Lord," he replied; "for I have never yet eaten anything unholy and impure."
Men Pierre te di: “Sa p ap janm fèt, Senyè, paske Mwen pa janm manje anyen ki pa sen e pwòp.”
15 Again a second time a voice was heard which said, "What God has purified, you must not regard as unholy."
Ankò yon vwa te vini a li menm, pou dezyèm fwa: “Sa ke Bondye gen tan fè pwòp, pa konsidere l ankò pa sen.”
16 This was said three times, and immediately the sail was drawn up out of sight.
Sa te rive twa fwa; epi imedyatman, bagay la te vin remonte nan syèl la.
17 While Peter was greatly perplexed as to the meaning of the vision which he had seen, just then the men sent by Cornelius, having by inquiry found out Simon's house,
Alò, Pierre te byen twouble nan lespri li sou sa vizyon li te wè te siyifi a. Epi konsa mesye ki te voye pa Corneille yo, lè yo te fin mande tout direksyon pou kay Simon, te parèt nan pòtay la.
18 had come to the door and had called the servant, and were asking, "Is Simon, surnamed Peter, staying here?"
Yo te rele anlè, pou mande si Simon, ke yo rele osi Pierre a te rete la.
19 And Peter was still earnestly thinking over the vision, when the Spirit said to him, "Three men are now inquiring for you.
Pandan Pierre t ap reflechi sou vizyon an Lespri a te di l: “Gade, gen twa mesye k ap chache ou.
20 Rise, go down, and go with them without any misgivings; for it is I who have sent them to you."
Alò, leve desann eskalye a pou akonpanye yo san doute anyen. Paske se Mwen menm ki voye yo.”
21 So Peter went down and said to the men, "I am the Simon you are inquiring for. What is the reason of your coming?"
Pierre te desann vè moun yo. Li te di yo: “Se mwen menm nou ap chache a. Se pou ki rezon nou vini an?”
22 Their reply was, "Cornelius, a Captain, an upright and God-fearing man, of whom the whole Jewish nation speaks well, has been divinely instructed by a holy angel to send for you to come to his house and listen to what you have to say."
Yo te di: “Corneille, yon sòlda santenye, yon nonm dwat e ki krent Bondye, e ki byen pale pa tout nasyon Jwif la, te dirije pa yon zanj pou voye kote ou pou vini lakay li pou tande yon mesaj de ou menm.”
23 Upon hearing this, Peter invited them in, and gave them a lodging. The next day he set out with them, some of the brethren from Jaffa going with him,
Konsa, li te envite yo antre, e li te bay yo lojman. Nan jou swivan a, li te leve. Li te sòti avèk yo, e kèk nan frè Joppé yo te akonpanye li.
24 and the day after that they reached Caesarea. There Cornelius was awaiting their arrival, and had invited all his relatives and intimate friends to be present.
Nan youn jou pi tà, li te antre Césarée. Alò, Corneille t ap tann yo. Li te rele ansanm fanmi ak zanmi ki pwòch li yo.
25 When Peter entered the house, Cornelius met him, and threw himself at his feet to do him homage.
Lè Pierre te antre, Corneille te rankontre li, e te tonbe nan pye li pou adore li.
26 But Peter lifted him up. "Stand up," he said; "I myself also am but a man."
Men Pierre te leve l e te di: “Kanpe non, mwen menm se sèlman yon moun.”
27 So Peter went in and conversed with him, and found a large company assembled.
Pandan li t ap pale avèk li, li te antre, e te twouve anpil moun deja reyini.
28 He said to them, "You know better than most that a Jew is strictly forbidden to associate with a Gentile or visit him; but God has taught me to call no one unholy or unclean.
Pierre te di yo: “Nou menm nou konnen kijan sa kont lalwa pou yon nonm ki se yon Jwif vin asosye avèk yon etranje, ni pou vizitè li. Men Bondye te deja montre m ke mwen pa dwe rele pèsòn pa sen oubyen pa pwòp.
29 So for this reason, when sent for, I came without raising any objection. I therefore ask why you sent for me."
Se pou rezon sa ke m te vini menm san okenn objeksyon lè yo te fè mwen vini an. Konsa, mwen mande pou ki sa nou fè mwen vini an?”
30 "Just at this hour, three days ago," replied Cornelius, "I was offering afternoon prayer in my house, when suddenly a man in shining raiment stood in front of me,
Corneille te di: “Kat jou pase jis nan menm lè sa a, mwen t ap fè jèn e priye lakay mwen nan nevyèm è a; epi vwala yon nonm te kanpe devan mwen avèk vètman ki t ap briye.
31 who said, "'Cornelius, your prayer has been heard, and your charities have been put on record before God.
Li te di: ‘Corneille, priyè ou gen tan tande e ofrann ou yo gen tan sonje devan Bondye.
32 Send therefore to Jaffa, and invite Simon, surnamed Peter, to come here. He is staying as a guest in the house of Simon, a tanner, close to the sea.'
Pou sa, voye Joppé pou envite Simon, ke yo rele osi Pierre, pou vin kote nou. Li rete lakay Simon, ki se bòs tanè bò lanmè a.’
33 "Immediately, therefore, I sent to you, and I thank you heartily for having come. That is why all of us are now assembled here in God's presence, to listen to what the Lord has commanded you to say."
Pou sa, mwen te fè ou vin touswit, e ou tèlman emab, ke ou vini. Alò, koulye a, nou tout isit la, prezan devan Bondye pou tande tout sa ke ou kòmande pa Senyè a.”
34 Then Peter began to speak. "I clearly see," he said, "that God makes no distinctions between one man and another;
Lè l louvri bouch li, Pierre te di: “Vrèman, mwen konprann koulye a, ke Bondye se pa youn ki fè patipri pou pèsòn,
35 but that in every nation those who fear Him and live good lives are acceptable to Him.
men nan tout nasyon yo, sila a ki gen lakrent Li, e ki fè sa ki bon, byen resevwa devan Li menm.
36 The Message which He sent to the descendants of Israel, when He announced the Good News of peace through Jesus Christ--He is Lord of all--that Message you cannot but know;
Pawòl ke Li te voye a fis Israël yo, pou preche lapè atravè Jésus Kri a—Ke Li se Senyè a tout moun.
37 the story, I mean, which has spread through the length and breadth of Judaea, beginning in Galilee after the baptism which John proclaimed.
“Nou menm nou konnen bagay ki te pase nan tout Judée a, ki te kòmanse nan Galilée, apre batèm ke Jean te pwoklame a;
38 It tells how God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Spirit and with power, so that He went about everywhere doing acts of kindness, and curing all who were being continually oppressed by the Devil--for God was with Jesus.
sou Jésus de Nazareth la, jan Bondye te bay li onksyon avèk Lespri Sen an, e avèk pwisans, Li te ale toupatou e t ap fè byen, jan Li te geri tout moun ki te oprime pa dyab la, paske Bondye te avè L.
39 "And we are witnesses as to all that He did both in the country of the Jews and in Jerusalem. But they even put Him to death, by crucifixion.
“Nou se temwen a tout bagay ke Li te fè nan peyi Jwif yo, ak nan Jérusalem. Anplis yo te mete Li a lanmò lè yo te pann Li sou yon kwa.
40 That same Jesus God raised to life on the third day, and permitted Him to appear unmistakably,
Bondye te fè l leve nan twazyèm jou a, e te pèmèt ke Li te vin vizib
41 not to all the people, but to witnesses--men previously chosen by God--namely, to us, who ate and drank with Him after He rose from the dead.
pa a tout pèp la, men a temwen ki te chwazi oparavan pa Bondye yo; a nou menm ki te manje e bwè avèk Li apre Li te leve soti nan lanmò a.
42 And He has commanded us to preach to the people and solemnly declare that this is He who has been appointed by God to be the Judge of the living and the dead.
Konsa, Li te kòmande nou pou preche a pèp la, epi solanèlman, temwaye ke Li se Sila a ki te nome pa Bondye, kòm Jij a vivan e a mò yo.
43 To Him all the Prophets bear witness, and testify that through His name all who believe in Him receive the forgiveness of their sins."
“A Li menm, tout pwofèt yo pote temwayaj, ke selon non Li tout moun ki kwè nan Li resevwa padon pou peche yo.”
44 While Peter was speaking these words, the Holy Spirit fell on all who were listening to the Message.
Pandan Pierre te toujou ap pale pawòl sa yo, Lespri Sen an te tonbe sou tout sila yo ki t ap koute mesaj la.
45 And all the Jewish believers who had come with Peter were astonished that on the Gentiles also the gift of the Holy Spirit was poured out.
Tout kwayan sikonsi ki te vini avèk Pierre yo te etone paske don Lespri Sen an te vèse sou etranje yo tou.
46 For they heard them speaking in tongues and extolling the majesty of God. Then Peter said,
Paske yo te tande yo pale an lang, e egzalte Bondye. Alò, Pierre te reponn:
47 "Can any one forbid the use of water, and object to these persons being baptized--men who have received the Holy Spirit just as we did?"
“Èske pèsòn kapab refize dlo pou sa yo ta kapab batize, sila ki te resevwa Lespri Sen an, menm jan ak nou?”
48 And he directed that they should be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ. Then they begged him to remain with them for a time.
Epi li te kòmande yo pou batize nan non Jésus Kri. Alò, yo te mande li pou rete la avèk yo pandan kèk jou.
