Acts 15
1 Some men came down from Judea and taught the brothers, “Unless you are circumcised after the custom of Moses, you can’t be saved.”
Alò kèk mesye te desann sòti Judée e te kòmanse enstwi frè yo: “Amwenske nou vin sikonsi selon koutim Moïse la, nou pa kapab sove.”
2 Therefore when Paul and Barnabas had no small discord and discussion with them, they appointed Paul, Barnabas, and some others of them to go up to Jerusalem to the apostles and elders about this question.
Lè Paul ak Barnabas te fè yon gran diskisyon ak deba avèk yo, lòt frè yo te detèmine ke Paul ak Barnabas ak kèk lòt nan yo ta dwe monte Jérusalem vè lòt apòt yo ak lansyen yo konsènan pwoblèm sila a.
3 They, being sent on their way by the assembly, passed through both Phoenicia and Samaria, declaring the conversion of the Gentiles. They caused great joy to all the brothers.
Konsa voye pa legliz la, yo t ap travèse Phénicie ak Samarie, e t ap bay an detay istwa konvèsyon pèp etranje yo. Sa te fè kè a tout frè yo kontan anpil.
4 When they had come to Jerusalem, they were received by the assembly and the apostles and the elders, and they reported everything that God had done with them.
Lè yo te rive Jérusalem, yo te resevwa pa legliz la avèk tout apòt ak ansyen yo. Konsa, yo te bay yon rapò konple de tout sa ke Bondye te fè avèk yo.
5 But some of the sect of the Pharisees who believed rose up, saying, “It is necessary to circumcise them, and to command them to keep the law of Moses.”
Men kèk nan gwoup Farizyen ki te kwayan yo te kanpe e te di: “Li nesesè pou sikonsi yo, e pou fè yo swiv Lalwa Moïse la.”
6 The apostles and the elders were gathered together to see about this matter.
Apòt ak ansyen yo te vin reyini ansanm pou egzamine afè sila a.
7 When there had been much discussion, Peter rose up and said to them, “Brothers, you know that a good while ago God made a choice among you that by my mouth the nations should hear the word of the Good News and believe.
Apre anpil diskisyon, Pierre te kanpe e te di yo: “Frè yo, nou konnen ke nan tan pase yo, Bondye te fè yon chwa pami nou, ke pa bouch mwen, pèp etranje yo ta dwe tande pawòl levanjil la, e vin kwè.
8 God, who knows the heart, testified about them, giving them the Holy Spirit, just like he did to us.
Bondye ki konnen kè a, te temwaye a yo menm, e te bay yo Lespri Sen an, menm jan ke Li te fè nou an.
9 He made no distinction between us and them, cleansing their hearts by faith.
Li pa t fè distenksyon antre nou ak yo, e te netwaye kè yo pa lafwa.
10 Now therefore why do you tempt God, that you should put a yoke on the neck of the disciples which neither our fathers nor we were able to bear?
“Alò konsa, poukisa nou mete Bondye a leprèv la a lè nou plase sou kou a disip yo yon jouk ke ni zansèt nou yo, ni nou menm pa t kapab pote?
11 But we believe that we are saved through the grace of the Lord Jesus, just as they are.”
Men nou kwè ke nou sove pa lagras a Senyè Jésus a, menm jan ak yo menm.”
12 All the multitude kept silence, and they listened to Barnabas and Paul reporting what signs and wonders God had done among the nations through them.
Tout foul la te rete an silans. Yo t ap koute Barnabas ak Paul lè yo t ap eksplike ki sign ak mirak Bondye te fè atravè yo menm pami pèp etranje yo.
13 After they were silent, James answered, “Brothers, listen to me.
Apre yo te fin pale Jacques te reponn e te di: “Frè yo, koute mwen.
14 Simeon has reported how God first visited the nations to take out of them a people for his name.
Simon eksplike nou jan Bondye te premyèman pran pami pèp etranje yo, yon pèp pou non Li.
15 This agrees with the words of the prophets. As it is written,
Epi avèk sa a, pawòl a pwofèt yo dakò, jis jan sa ekri a:
16 ‘After these things I will return. I will again build the tabernacle of David, which has fallen. I will again build its ruins. I will set it up
‘Apre bagay sa yo Mwen va retounen. Mwen va rebati tabènak David ki te tonbe a. Mwen va rebati ranblè li yo, e Mwen va restore li
17 that the rest of men may seek after the Lord: all the Gentiles who are called by my name, says the Lord, who does all these things.’
pou tout rès limanite a kapab chache Bondye, ak tout pèp etranje yo ki rele pa non Mwen,’
di Senyè a ki fè tout bagay sila yo konnen depi nan tan ansyen an. (aiōn g165)
19 Therefore my judgment is that we don’t trouble those from among the Gentiles who turn to God,
“Konsa, se jijman pa m pou nou pa twouble sila k ap tounen vè Bondye yo ki soti pami pèp etranje yo,
20 but that we write to them that they abstain from the pollution of idols, from sexual immorality, from what is strangled, and from blood.
men pou nou ekri yo pou yo evite bagay ki sèvi kon sakrifis pou zidòl, ak imoralite seksyèl, ak vyann sa ki toufe, ak san.
21 For Moses from generations of old has in every city those who preach him, being read in the synagogues every Sabbath.”
Paske Moïse, depi nan ansyen jenerasyon yo gen kwayan nan chak vil sa yo ki preche li, paske li kon li nan sinagòg yo chak Saba.”
22 Then it seemed good to the apostles and the elders, with the whole assembly, to choose men out of their company, and send them to Antioch with Paul and Barnabas: Judas called Barsabbas, and Silas, chief men among the brothers.
Answit li te sanble bon pou disip ak ansyen yo, avèk tout legliz la, pou chwazi moun pami yo pou voye Antioche avèk Paul ak Barnabas: Jude ki rele Barsabas, ak Silas, mesye ki te konn dirije pami frè yo.
23 They wrote these things by their hand: “The apostles, the elders, and the brothers, to the brothers who are of the Gentiles in Antioch, Syria, and Cilicia: greetings.
Yo te voye lèt sa a avèk yo: “Apòt ak frè yo ki se ansyen yo, a frè yo nan Antioche ak Syrie, ak Cilicie, ki sòti nan pèp etranje yo, salitasyon.
24 Because we have heard that some who went out from us have troubled you with words, unsettling your souls, saying, ‘You must be circumcised and keep the law,’ to whom we gave no commandment;
“Akoz ke nou tande ke kèk nan nou ki pa t resevwa enstriksyon de nou menm, ap twouble nou avèk pawòl k ap boulvèse nanm nou,
25 it seemed good to us, having come to one accord, to choose out men and send them to you with our beloved Barnabas and Paul,
li te sanble bon pou nou, akoz nou tout te vin dakò ansanm, pou chwazi kèk mesye pou voye kote nou avèk byeneme nou yo, Barnabas ak Paul.
26 men who have risked their lives for the name of our Lord Jesus Christ.
Se mesye yo ki riske lavi yo pou non a Senyè nou an, Jésus Kri.
27 We have sent therefore Judas and Silas, who themselves will also tell you the same things by word of mouth.
“Konsa, nou voye Jude ak Silas ki yo menm va osi bay rapò a menm bagay sila yo pa pawòl nan bouch yo.
28 For it seemed good to the Holy Spirit, and to us, to lay no greater burden on you than these necessary things:
“Paske li te parèt bon pou Lespri Sen an ak nou menm pa mete sou nou okenn fado ke lesansyèl sa yo:
29 that you abstain from things sacrificed to idols, from blood, from things strangled, and from sexual immorality, from which if you keep yourselves, it will be well with you. Farewell.”
pou nou evite bagay ki sèvi kon sakrifis pou zidòl, san, bagay ki toufe, ak imoralite seksyèl. Si nou kenbe tèt nou lib de bagay sila yo, nou va fè byen. Orevwa.”
30 So, when they were sent off, they came to Antioch. Having gathered the multitude together, they delivered the letter.
Donk, lè yo te voye yo ale, yo te desann Antioche. Yo te ransanble tout asanble a ansanm pou te livre lèt la.
31 When they had read it, they rejoiced over the encouragement.
Lè yo te li li, yo te rejwi yo akoz ankourajman li te bay.
32 Judas and Silas, also being prophets themselves, encouraged the brothers with many words and strengthened them.
Jude ak Silas, ki te pwofèt yo menm osi, te ankouraje e ranfòse frè yo avèk yon mesaj byen long.
33 After they had spent some time there, they were dismissed in peace from the brothers to the apostles.
Apre yo fin pase tan la a, frè yo te voye yo anpè, pou retounen kote sila ki te voye yo.
Men li te sanble bon pou Silas pou l te rete la.
35 But Paul and Barnabas stayed in Antioch, teaching and preaching the word of the Lord, with many others also.
Konsa, Paul ak Barnabas te rete Antioche ansanm ak anpil lòt, pou preche e enstwi pawòl Senyè a.
36 After some days Paul said to Barnabas, “Let’s return now and visit our brothers in every city in which we proclaimed the word of the Lord, to see how they are doing.”
Apre kèk tan, Paul te di Barnabas: “Annou retounen pou vizite chak vil kote nou te pwoklame pawòl Senyè a pou nou wè kijan yo ye.”
37 Barnabas planned to take John, who was called Mark, with them also.
Barnabas te vle pran Jean Marc pou ale avèk yo tou.
38 But Paul didn’t think that it was a good idea to take with them someone who had withdrawn from them in Pamphylia, and didn’t go with them to do the work.
Men Paul te ensiste ke yo pa ta dwe pran li ki te abandone yo nan Pamphylie, e pa t akonpanye yo nan travay la.
39 Then the contention grew so sharp that they separated from each other. Barnabas took Mark with him and sailed away to Cyprus,
Yo te vin tèlman pa dakò ke yo te separe youn de lòt. Barnabas te pran Marc avè l e te pran bato a vwal pou Chypre.
40 but Paul chose Silas and went out, being commended by the brothers to the grace of God.
Men Paul te chwazi Silas e te pati. Frè yo te remèt li nan gras Senyè a.
41 He went through Syria and Cilicia, strengthening the assemblies.
Li te vwayaje travèse Syrie ak Cilicie, pou ranfòse legliz yo.
