< Acts 5 >

1 But a certain man named Ananias, with Sapphira his wife, sold a possession,
Men yon sèten mesye ke yo te rele Ananias ak Saphira, madanm li, te vann yon moso tè.
2 and kept back part of the price, his wife also being aware of it, then brought a certain part and laid it at the apostles’ feet.
Men li te kenbe yon pati nan pri a pou li menm, avèk konesans madanm li. Konsa, li te pote yon sèten pati, e te mete l nan pye apòt yo.
3 But Peter said, “Ananias, why has Satan filled your heart to lie to the Holy Spirit and to keep back part of the price of the land?
Men Pierre, te di: “Ananias, poukisa Satan ranpli kè ou pou bay manti a Lespri Sen an e pou kenbe yon pati nan pri tè a an kachèt.
4 While you kept it, didn’t it remain your own? After it was sold, wasn’t it in your power? How is it that you have conceived this thing in your heart? You haven’t lied to men, but to God.”
Pandan li te rete pa t vann nan, èske li pa t nan men ou? E lè li te fin vann nan, èske li pa t toujou sou kontwòl pa w? Poukisa ou kalkile bagay sa a nan kè ou? Se pa a moun ke ou bay manti a, men a Bondye.”
5 Ananias, hearing these words, fell down and died. Great fear came on all who heard these things.
Ananias, lè l te tande bagay sa yo, te tonbe atè e te respire dènye souf li. Yon gwo laperèz te vini sou tout sila ki te tande bagay sa yo.
6 The young men arose and wrapped him up, and they carried him out and buried him.
Jennjan yo te leve li, vlope li nan yon twal e te pote l deyò pou te antere l.
7 About three hours later, his wife, not knowing what had happened, came in.
Nan anviwon twazèdtan, madanm li, san konnen sa ki te rive a, te antre.
8 Peter answered her, “Tell me whether you sold the land for so much.” She said, “Yes, for so much.”
Pierre te di li: “Di m si ou te vann tè a pou yon pri konsa?” Li te di: “Wi, pou yon pri konsa”.
9 But Peter asked her, “How is it that you have agreed together to tempt the Spirit of the Lord? Behold, the feet of those who have buried your husband are at the door, and they will carry you out.”
Alò, Pierre te di li: “Poukisa ke nou dakò ansanm pou tante Lespri Senyè a? Vwala, pye a sila ki te antere mari ou yo parèt nan pòt la, e yo va pote ou deyò a tou.”
10 She fell down immediately at his feet and died. The young men came in and found her dead, and they carried her out and buried her by her husband.
Konsa li te tonbe atè e te rann dènye souf li. Jennjan yo te antre, yo twouve li tou mouri e te pote l ale. Yo te antere li bò kote mari li.
11 Great fear came on the whole assembly, and on all who heard these things.
Yon gwo laperèz te vin tonbe sou tout legliz la, e sou tout sila ki te tande bagay sa yo.
12 By the hands of the apostles many signs and wonders were done amongst the people. They were all with one accord in Solomon’s porch.
Pa men apòt yo, anpil sign ak mirak te fèt pami pèp la, e yo tout te an akò nan Galri Salomon an.
13 None of the rest dared to join them; however, the people honoured them.
Pou lòt yo, pa t gen pèsòn ki te gen kouraj pou vin jwenn avèk yo, men pèp la te bay yo lwanj.
14 More believers were added to the Lord, multitudes of both men and women.
Konsa, anpil kwayan nan non Senyè a, yon fòs kantite gason avèk fi t ap ajoute tout tan pami yo.
15 They even carried out the sick into the streets and laid them on cots and mattresses, so that as Peter came by, at least his shadow might overshadow some of them.
Yo t ap menm pote malad yo e mete yo nan lari; yo te fè yo kouche sou kabann ak palèt, pou menm yon ti kras lonbraj Pierre, lè l pase, ta kapab tonbe sou nenpòt nan yo.
16 The multitude also came together from the cities around Jerusalem, bringing sick people and those who were tormented by unclean spirits; and they were all healed.
Te vini osi foul ki te sòti nan vil ki te antoure Jérusalem yo, ki t ap pote moun malad, ak sila ki te twouble pa move Lespri yo, e yo tout te geri.
17 But the high priest rose up, and all those who were with him (which is the sect of the Sadducees), and they were filled with jealousy
Men wo prèt la te vin leve, ak tout sila ki te avèk li yo (sa vle di Sadiseyen yo), e yo te jalou anpil.
18 and laid hands on the apostles, then put them in public custody.
Yo te mete men sou apòt yo, e te mete yo nan yon prizon piblik.
19 But an angel of the Lord opened the prison doors by night, and brought them out and said,
Men yon zanj Bondye te ouvri pòt prizon an pandan lannwit, e te fè yo sòti, e te di:
20 “Go stand and speak in the temple to the people all the words of this life.”
“Ale, kanpe pale ak pèp la nan tanp lan tout pawòl lavi a.”
21 When they heard this, they entered into the temple about daybreak and taught. But the high priest and those who were with him came and called the council together, with all the senate of the children of Israel, and sent to the prison to have them brought.
Lè yo te tande sa, yo te antre nan tanp lan granmmaten, e yo te kòmanse enstwi. Men lèwo prèt la te vini, ansanm ak sila ki te avèk li yo, yo te reyini yon gran konsèy avèk tout ansyen Israël yo. Konsa yo te voye kote prizon an pou fè yo vini.
22 But the officers who came didn’t find them in the prison. They returned and reported,
Men lè jandam yo te vini, yo te twouve ke yo pa t nan prizon an. Konsa yo te retounen pou te bay rapò a.
23 “We found the prison shut and locked, and the guards standing before the doors, but when we opened them, we found no one inside!”
Yo te di: “Nou te twouve prizon an byen fèmen e byen sere avèk gad yo ki te kanpe devan pòt la, men lè nou te louvri li, nou pa twouve pèsòn ladann.”
24 Now when the high priest, the captain of the temple, and the chief priests heard these words, they were very perplexed about them and what might become of this.
Lè wo prèt la avèk kaptenn kò gad tanp lan te tande sa, yo te vin enkyete pou kote pwoblèm sa a ta vin rive.
25 One came and told them, “Behold, the men whom you put in prison are in the temple, standing and teaching the people.”
Men yon moun te vin di yo: “Gade, mesye sa yo ke nou te mete nan prizon an kanpe nan tanp lan e y ap enstwi pèp la.”
26 Then the captain went with the officers, and brought them without violence, for they were afraid that the people might stone them.
Alò, yo te ale avèk kaptenn lan ak jandam yo, e te mennen yo vini san vyolans; paske yo te krent pèp la, pou yo pa ta lapide yo avèk wòch.
27 When they had brought them, they set them before the council. The high priest questioned them,
Lè yo te mennen yo, yo te fè yo kanpe devan konsèy la pou wo prèt la kesyone yo.
28 saying, “Didn’t we strictly command you not to teach in this name? Behold, you have filled Jerusalem with your teaching, and intend to bring this man’s blood on us.”
Li te di yo konsa: “Èske nou pa t bay nou yon lòd byen klè pou nou pa kontinye enstwi nan non sila a? E malgre sa a, nou fin ranpli tout Jérusalem avèk enstriksyon nou yo, e nou gen entansyon voye san mesye sa a sou nou”.
29 But Peter and the apostles answered, “We must obey God rather than men.
Alò Pierre avèk apòt yo te reponn e te di: “Nou oblije obeyi a Bondye olye a lòm.
30 The God of our fathers raised up Jesus, whom you killed, hanging him on a tree.
Bondye a zansèt nou yo te fè leve Jésus, ke nou te touye pann sou yon kwa a.
31 God exalted him with his right hand to be a Prince and a Saviour, to give repentance to Israel, and remission of sins.
Se Li menm Bondye te fè leve wo kote men dwat Li, tankou yon Prens, e yon Sovè, pou bay a Israël repantans, ak padon pou peche yo.
32 We are his witnesses of these things; and so also is the Holy Spirit, whom God has given to those who obey him.”
Nou te temwen a bagay sa yo; e anplis Lespri Sen an ke Bondye bay a sila ki obeyi Li yo.”
33 But they, when they heard this, were cut to the heart, and were determined to kill them.
Lè yo te tande sa, yo te byen blese, e te fè plan pou touye yo.
34 But one stood up in the council, a Pharisee named Gamaliel, a teacher of the law, honoured by all the people, and commanded to put the apostles out for a little while.
Alò, yon nonm nan konsèy la ke yo te rele Gamaliel te kanpe, yon pwofesè nan Lalwa ki te gen bon repitasyon pami tout pèp. Li te mande yo mete apot yo deyò pou yon moman.
35 He said to them, “You men of Israel, be careful concerning these men, what you are about to do.
Li te di yo: “Moun Israël yo, veye nou menm ak sa nou gen entansyon fè avèk mesye sila yo,
36 For before these days Theudas rose up, making himself out to be somebody; to whom a number of men, about four hundred, joined themselves. He was slain; and all, as many as obeyed him, were dispersed and came to nothing.
Paske pa anpil jou avan sa, te leve yon Theudas ki t ap pretann li menm te yon pèsonaj, epi yon gwoup kat-san òm te vin jwenn avèk li. Men yo te touye li, e tout sila ki te swiv li yo te vin gaye, e pa t reyalize anyen.
37 After this man, Judas of Galilee rose up in the days of the enrolment, and drew away some people after him. He also perished, and all, as many as obeyed him, were scattered abroad.
“Apre mesye sila a, Judas, Galileyen an, te leve nan jou resansman an, e li te atire kèk moun dèyè l. Li menm tou te peri, e tout sila ki te swiv li yo te vin gaye.
38 Now I tell you, withdraw from these men and leave them alone. For if this counsel or this work is of men, it will be overthrown.
“Donk, nan ka prezan an, mwen di nou, rete lwen de moun sa yo, e pa okipe yo, paske si plan oubyen aksyon sa a sòti nan lòm, li va boulvèse.
39 But if it is of God, you will not be able to overthrow it, and you would be found even to be fighting against God!”
Men si se nan Bondye, nou p ap kab boulvèse yo; sinon nou kab menm twouve ke n ap goumen kont Bondye menm.”
40 They agreed with him. Summoning the apostles, they beat them and commanded them not to speak in the name of Jesus, and let them go.
Yo te koute konsèy li. Apre yo te rele apòt yo antre, yo te bat yo avèk fwèt, e te kòmande yo pou yo pa pale nan non Jésus, e te lage yo.
41 They therefore departed from the presence of the council, rejoicing that they were counted worthy to suffer dishonour for Jesus’ name.
Donk yo te kite konsèy la; yo te al fè wout yo, e t ap rejwi ke yo te konsidere dign pou soufri mepri pou non Li.
42 Every day, in the temple and at home, they never stopped teaching and preaching Jesus, the Christ.
Epi chak jou nan tanp lan, sòti nan yon kay a yon lòt, yo te kontinye enstwi ak preche Jésus kòm Kris la.
