Acts 18
1 After these things Paul departed from Athens and came to Corinth.
Apre bagay sa yo li te kite Athènes e te ale Corinthe.
2 He found a certain Jew named Aquila, a man of Pontus by race, who had recently come from Italy with his wife Priscilla, because Claudius had commanded all the Jews to depart from Rome. He came to them,
Epi li te twouve yon sèten Jwif la ki te rele Aquilas, yon moun Pont ki te fenk vin sòti Italie avèk madanm li Priscille, paske Claude te kòmande tout Jwif yo pou kite Rome. Paul te ale kote yo.
3 and because he practised the same trade, he lived with them and worked, for by trade they were tent makers.
Akoz li te gen menm metye a, li te rete avèk yo, e yo t ap travay, paske se moun ki fè tant yo te ye.
4 He reasoned in the synagogue every Sabbath and persuaded Jews and Greeks.
Li t ap rezone nan sinagòg la chak Saba pou l konvenk Jwif yo ak Grèk yo pou kwè.
5 When Silas and Timothy came down from Macedonia, Paul was compelled by the Spirit, testifying to the Jews that Jesus was the Christ.
Men lè Silas ak Timothée te desann soti Macédoine, Paul te kòmanse dedye tèt li nèt a pawòl la, pou temwaye solanèlman a Jwif yo ke se te Jésus ki te Kris la.
6 When they opposed him and blasphemed, he shook out his clothing and said to them, “Your blood be on your own heads! I am clean. From now on, I will go to the Gentiles!”
Men lè yo te reziste, e te fè blasfèm, li te souke rad li, e te di yo: “Ke san nou vini sou pwòp tèt nou! Mwen inosan. Depi koulye a mwen va ale kote pèp etranje yo.”
7 He departed there and went into the house of a certain man named Justus, one who worshipped God, whose house was next door to the synagogue.
Answit li te kite la pou ale lakay a yon sèten nonm ki te rele Titius Justus, yon adoratè Bondye, ki te gen kay li toupre sinagòg la.
8 Crispus, the ruler of the synagogue, believed in the Lord with all his house. Many of the Corinthians, when they heard, believed and were baptised.
Crispus, dirijan sinagòg la, te vin kwè nan Senyè a avèk tout lakay li, e anpil nan Korentyen yo, lè yo te tande sa, yo te vin kwè, e yo te batize.
9 The Lord said to Paul in the night by a vision, “Don’t be afraid, but speak and don’t be silent;
Epi Senyè a te di Paul nan yon vizyon pandan nwit lan: “Pa pè ankò, men kontinye pale, e pa fè silans;
10 for I am with you, and no one will attack you to harm you, for I have many people in this city.”
paske Mwen avèk ou, e nanpwen moun k ap atake ou pou fè ou mal, paske Mwen gen anpil moun nan vil sa a.”
11 He lived there a year and six months, teaching the word of God amongst them.
Konsa, li te rete la pandan en an si mwa, e li t ap enstwi pawòl Bondye a pami yo.
12 But when Gallio was proconsul of Achaia, the Jews with one accord rose up against Paul and brought him before the judgement seat,
Men pandan Gallion te pwokonsil Achaië Jwif yo avèk yon sèl vwa te leve kont Paul, e te mennen l devan chèz jijman an.
13 saying, “This man persuades men to worship God contrary to the law.”
Yo t ap di: “Nonm sila ap fè moun kwè pou adore Bondye kont lalwa a.”
14 But when Paul was about to open his mouth, Gallio said to the Jews, “If indeed it were a matter of wrong or of wicked crime, you Jews, it would be reasonable that I should bear with you;
Men lè Paul te prèt pou louvri bouch li, Gallion te di a Jwif yo: “Si se te yon ka a yon enjistis, oswa yon krim visye, O Jwif yo, li ta rezonab pou m ta bay nou soutyen.
15 but if they are questions about words and names and your own law, look to it yourselves. For I don’t want to be a judge of these matters.”
Men si gen kesyon konsènan pawòl, oswa non, oswa pwòp lwa pa nou, okipe sa nou menm. Mwen pa gen enterè nan jije bagay sa yo.”
16 So he drove them from the judgement seat.
Epi li te chase yo sòti devan chèz jijman an.
17 Then all the Greeks seized Sosthenes, the ruler of the synagogue, and beat him before the judgement seat. Gallio didn’t care about any of these things.
Konsa, yo tout te sezi Sosthène, mèt sinagòg la, e te kòmanse bat li devan chèz jijman an. Men Gallion pa t okipe bagay sa yo menm.
18 Paul, having stayed after this many more days, took his leave of the brothers, and sailed from there for Syria, together with Priscilla and Aquila. He shaved his head in Cenchreae, for he had a vow.
Paul, apre li te rete pandan anpil jou ankò, te kite frè yo pou te monte sou lanmè a pou rive Syrie, e avèk li te gen Priscille ak Aquilas. Nan Cenchrées li te fè yo pase razwa sou cheve tèt li, paske li t ap swiv yon ve.
19 He came to Ephesus, and he left them there; but he himself entered into the synagogue and reasoned with the Jews.
Yo te rive Éphèse, e li te kite yo la. Alò, li menm te antre nan sinagòg la pou te rezone avèk Jwif yo.
20 When they asked him to stay with them a longer time, he declined;
Lè yo te mande li pou rete avèk yo pou plis tan, li pa t dakò,
21 but taking his leave of them, he said, “I must by all means keep this coming feast in Jerusalem, but I will return again to you if God wills.” Then he set sail from Ephesus.
men li te kite yo e t ap di: “Mwen va retounen kote nou ankò si Bondye vle”. E li te pran bato a vwal pou soti Éphèse.
22 When he had landed at Caesarea, he went up and greeted the assembly, and went down to Antioch.
Lè l te rive Césarée, li te monte pou salye legliz la, e li te desann Antioche.
23 Having spent some time there, he departed and went through the region of Galatia and Phrygia, in order, establishing all the disciples.
Lè l te fin pase kèk tan la, li te sòti e te travèse youn apre lòt, nan rejyon a Galatie a ak Phrygie kote li te ranfòse tout disip yo.
24 Now a certain Jew named Apollos, an Alexandrian by race, an eloquent man, came to Ephesus. He was mighty in the Scriptures.
Alò, yon sèten Jwif ki te rele Apollos, ki te ne nan Alexandrie, yon nonm ki te konn pale byen, e ki te fò nan Ekriti Sen yo te vini Éphèse.
25 This man had been instructed in the way of the Lord; and being fervent in spirit, he spoke and taught accurately the things concerning Jesus, although he knew only the baptism of John.
Mesye sa te enstwi nan chemen Bondye a. E avèk fevè Lespri a, li t ap pale e t ap enstwi byen klè tout bagay konsènan Jésus, men te konnen sèlman batèm a Jean an.
26 He began to speak boldly in the synagogue. But when Priscilla and Aquila heard him, they took him aside, and explained to him the way of God more accurately.
Li te kòmanse pale avèk gwo kouraj nan sinagòg la. Men lè Priscille ak Aquilas te tande l, yo te rale l akote pou te eksplike li chemen Bondye a pi klè.
27 When he had determined to pass over into Achaia, the brothers encouraged him; and wrote to the disciples to receive him. When he had come, he greatly helped those who had believed through grace;
Lè Apollos te vle travèse a Achaïe, frè yo te ankouraje li, e te ekri a disip yo pou ankouraje li. Lè l te rive, li te anpil èd pou sila ki te kwè pa gras yo.
28 for he powerfully refuted the Jews, publicly showing by the Scriptures that Jesus was the Christ.
Paske avèk pouvwa li te demanti Jwif yo an piblik, e li te montre atravè Ekriti Sen yo ke Jésus se te Kris la.
