Acts 9
1 But Saul, still breathing threats and slaughter against the disciples of the Lord, went to the high priest
Men Sòl, bò pa li, pa t' sispann menase touye disip Seyè yo. li al jwenn granprèt la.
2 and asked for letters from him to the synagogues of Damascus, that if he found any who were of the Way, whether men or women, he might bring them bound to Jerusalem.
Li mande l' lèt otorizasyon pou tout sinagòg ki nan lavil Damas. Konsa, tout moun li ta jwenn k'ap swiv chemen Bondye a, fanm kou gason, li te ka arete yo, mare yo mennen Jerizalèm.
3 As he travelled, he got close to Damascus, and suddenly a light from the sky shone around him.
Antan l' te sou wout la, prèt pou rive lavil Damas, li rete konsa yon limyè soti nan syèl la, li klere tout kote l' te ye a.
4 He fell on the earth, and heard a voice saying to him, “Saul, Saul, why do you persecute me?”
Sòl tonbe atè, epi l' tande yon vwa ki di li: Sòl, Sòl, poukisa w'ap pèsekite mwen konsa?
5 He said, “Who are you, Lord?” The Lord said, “I am Jesus, whom you are persecuting.
Li reponn: Ki moun ou ye, Mèt? Vwa a reponn li: Mwen se Jezi, moun w'ap pèsekite a.
6 But rise up and enter into the city, then you will be told what you must do.”
Leve, antre lavil la. Se la y'a di ou sa ou gen pou fè.
7 The men who travelled with him stood speechless, hearing the sound, but seeing no one.
Moun ki t'ap vwayaje ansanm ak Sòl yo te rete san di yon mo: yo te tande vwa a byen klè, men yo pa t' wè pesonn.
8 Saul arose from the ground, and when his eyes were opened, he saw no one. They led him by the hand and brought him into Damascus.
Sòl leve atè a, li louvri je l' men li pa t' kapab wè anyen. Yo pran men l', yo mennen l' lavil Damas.
9 He was without sight for three days, and neither ate nor drank.
Li rete la twa jou san wè, san manje, san bwè.
10 Now there was a certain disciple at Damascus named Ananias. The Lord said to him in a vision, “Ananias!” He said, “Behold, it’s me, Lord.”
Nan lavil Damas te gen yon disip ki te rele Ananyas. Seyè a parèt devan l' nan yon vizyon, li rele li: Ananyas. Ananyas reponn: Men mwen, Seyè.
11 The Lord said to him, “Arise and go to the street which is called Straight, and enquire in the house of Judah for one named Saul, a man of Tarsus. For behold, he is praying,
Seyè a di li: Leve koulye a, ale nan Ri Dwat la lakay Jida, mande pou yon nonm yo rele Sòl, moun lavil Tas. L'ap lapriyè kote l' ye a,
12 and in a vision he has seen a man named Ananias coming in and laying his hands on him, that he might receive his sight.”
li fè yon vizyon: li wè yon nonm yo rele Ananyas antre vin mete men sou tèt li pou l' kapab wè ankò.
13 But Ananias answered, “Lord, I have heard from many about this man, how much evil he did to your saints at Jerusalem.
Ananyas reponn: Seyè, mwen tande nan bouch anpil moun kantite mechanste li fè moun pa ou yo pase lavil Jerizalèm.
14 Here he has authority from the chief priests to bind all who call on your name.”
Epitou li vin isit la ak pouvwa pou l' arete dènye moun k'ap rele non ou. Se chèf prèt yo menm ki ba l' pouvwa sa a.
15 But the Lord said to him, “Go your way, for he is my chosen vessel to bear my name before the nations and kings, and the children of Israel.
Men, Seyè a di li: Ale. Paske nonm sa a, mwen chwazi l' pou sèvis mwen, pou l' fè tout moun konnen non mwen, moun lòt nasyon yo ak tout wa yo ansanm ak pèp Izrayèl la.
16 For I will show him how many things he must suffer for my name’s sake.”
Mwen menm, m'a moutre l' tou sa li gen pou l' soufri pou mwen.
17 Ananias departed and entered into the house. Laying his hands on him, he said, “Brother Saul, the Lord, who appeared to you on the road by which you came, has sent me that you may receive your sight and be filled with the Holy Spirit.”
Ananyas ale, li antre nan kay la, li mete men l' sou tèt Sòl, li di li: Sòl, frè mwen, Seyè Jezi voye m' kote ou. Se li menm ki te parèt devan ou sou granchemen an lè ou t'ap vini an. Li voye m' pou ou ka wè ankò, pou ou vin anba pouvwa Sentespri.
18 Immediately something like scales fell from his eyes, and he received his sight. He arose and was baptised.
Menm lè a, bagay tankou kal pwason sot tonbe nan je Sòl, epi l' wè ankò. Sòl leve, li resevwa batèm.
19 He took food and was strengthened. Saul stayed several days with the disciples who were at Damascus.
Apre sa, li manje epi l' vin gen fòs ankò. Sòl rete pase kèk jou ankò ak disip ki te Damas yo.
20 Immediately in the synagogues he proclaimed the Christ, that he is the Son of God.
Menm lè a tou, li kòmanse bay mesaj la nan sinagòg yo, li t'ap fè moun konnen Jezi se pitit Bondye.
21 All who heard him were amazed, and said, “Isn’t this he who in Jerusalem made havoc of those who called on this name? And he had come here intending to bring them bound before the chief priests!”
Tout moun ki te tande l' te sezi, yo t'ap di: Apa nonm sa a ki t'ap maltrete tout moun ki t'ap rele non sa a lavil Jerizalèm? Se pa li ki vin isit la toutespre pou arete yo, pou mennen yo bay chèf prèt yo?
22 But Saul increased more in strength, and confounded the Jews who lived at Damascus, proving that this is the Christ.
Men, Sòl t'ap vin pi fò toujou. Li t'ap fèmen bouch tout jwif ki t'ap viv Damas yo lè li t'ap moutre yo Jezi se moun Bondye te chwazi pou l' voye a menm.
23 When many days were fulfilled, the Jews conspired together to kill him,
Kèk jou apre sa, jwif yo fè konplo pou yo touye li.
24 but their plot became known to Saul. They watched the gates both day and night that they might kill him,
Men, Sòl te pran nouvèl konplo a. Lajounen kou lannwit yo t'ap veye pòtay lavil la pou yo touye li.
25 but his disciples took him by night and let him down through the wall, lowering him in a basket.
Lè sa a, patizan Sòl yo pran l' nan mitan lannwit, yo mete l' nan yon panyen, yo file l' desann lòt bò miray lavil la.
26 When Saul had come to Jerusalem, he tried to join himself to the disciples; but they were all afraid of him, not believing that he was a disciple.
Lè Sòl rive lavil Jerizalèm li te vle mete l' ak disip yo, men yo tout te pè l': yo pa t' kwè li te yon disip tout bon vre.
27 But Barnabas took him and brought him to the apostles, and declared to them how he had seen the Lord on the way, and that he had spoken to him, and how at Damascus he had preached boldly in the name of Jesus.
Lè sa a, Banabas pran l' avè l', epi li mennen l' bò kot apòt yo. Li rakonte yo ki jan Sòl te wè Seyè a sou wout la, ki jan Seyè a te pale avè li. Li di yo tou ki jan nan lavil Damas Sòl te anonse bon nouvèl la nan non Jezi avèk konviksyon.
28 He was with them entering into Jerusalem,
Depi lè sa a Sòl te toujou ak disip yo. Li t'ap ale vini ak yo nan tout Jerizalèm, li t'ap bay mesaj la avèk konviksyon nan non Seyè a.
29 preaching boldly in the name of the Lord Jesus. He spoke and disputed against the Hellenists, but they were seeking to kill him.
Li t'ap pale avèk jwif ki pale lang grèk la, li t'ap diskite avèk yo. Men, yo menm yo t'ap chache touye li.
30 When the brothers knew it, they brought him down to Caesarea and sent him off to Tarsus.
Lè frè yo vin konn sa, yo mennen l' lavil Sezare, yo fè l' pati pou Tas.
31 So the assemblies throughout all Judea, Galilee, and Samaria had peace and were built up. They were multiplied, walking in the fear of the Lord and in the comfort of the Holy Spirit.
Lè sa a, legliz la te gen repo toupatou nan Jide, nan Galile ak nan Samari. Li t'ap devlope, li t'ap viv avèk krentif pou Bondye. Avèk konkou Sentespri, li t'ap resevwa anpil moun toujou.
32 As Peter went throughout all those parts, he came down also to the saints who lived at Lydda.
Pyè menm t'ap vwayaje toupatou nan peyi a. Yon jou li te al lakay disip yo nan lavil Lida,
33 There he found a certain man named Aeneas, who had been bedridden for eight years because he was paralysed.
li jwenn yon nonm yo te rele Ine ki te kouche sou yon kabann depi witan. Nonm sa a te paralize.
34 Peter said to him, “Aeneas, Jesus Christ heals you. Get up and make your bed!” Immediately he arose.
Pyè di li: Ine, Jezikri ap geri ou. Leve non, ranje kabann ou. Lamenm, Ine leve kanpe.
35 All who lived at Lydda and in Sharon saw him, and they turned to the Lord.
Tout moun ki t'ap viv nan lavil Lida a ak nan laplenn Sawon an te wè li, epi yo tounen vin jwenn Bondye.
36 Now there was at Joppa a certain disciple named Tabitha, which when translated means Dorcas. This woman was full of good works and acts of mercy which she did.
Nan lavil Jope te gen yon fanm yo te rele Tabita. (An lang grèk yo te rele l': Dòkas, ki vle di: Ti Gazèl.) Se te yon patizan Jezi li te ye. Li t'ap pase tout tan li ap fè byen epi li t'ap ede pòv yo anpil.
37 In those days, she became sick and died. When they had washed her, they laid her in an upper room.
Lè sa a, li tonbe malad epi l' mouri. Yo benyen kò a, yo mete l' nan chanm anwo kay la.
38 As Lydda was near Joppa, the disciples, hearing that Peter was there, sent two men to him, imploring him not to delay in coming to them.
Lavil Jope pa t' twò lwen ak lavil Lida. Lè disip ki te Jope yo vin konnen Pyè te Lida, yo voye de moun bò kote l' avèk mesaj sa a: Tanpri, pa mize vin lakay nou.
39 Peter got up and went with them. When he had come, they brought him into the upper room. All the widows stood by him weeping, and showing the tunics and other garments which Dorcas had made while she was with them.
Pyè pati lamenm avèk yo. Lè l' rive, yo mennen l' nan chanm ki te anwo kay la. Tout vèv yo pwoche, yo t'ap kriye. Yo t'ap moutre l' chemiz ak rad Dòkas te konn fè lè l' te la avèk yo.
40 Peter sent them all out, and knelt down and prayed. Turning to the body, he said, “Tabitha, get up!” She opened her eyes, and when she saw Peter, she sat up.
Pyè fè tout moun soti. Li mete jenou l' atè, li lapriyè. Apre sa, li vire bò kot kò a, li di li: Tabita, leve non. Fanm lan louvri je l', lè l' wè Pyè, li chita.
41 He gave her his hand and raised her up. Calling the saints and widows, he presented her alive.
Pyè lonje men l' ba li, li fè l' leve kanpe. Apre sa, Pyè rele disip yo ak vèv yo, li moutre yo Tabita vivan.
42 This became known throughout all Joppa, and many believed in the Lord.
Yo vin konn sa nan lavil Jope. Anpil moun mete konfyans yo nan Seyè a.
43 He stayed many days in Joppa with a tanner named Simon.
Apre sa, Pyè rete lontan nan lavil Jope, lakay yon bòs tanè yo rele Simon.
