Acts 23
1 And Paul having earnestly beheld the sanhedrim, said, 'Men, brethren, I in all good conscience have lived to God unto this day;'
Paul te gade konsèy la avèk atansyon, e te di: “Frè yo mwen viv lavi m avèk yon trè bon konsyans devan Bondye jiska jodi a.”
2 and the chief priest Ananias commanded those standing by him to smite him on the mouth,
Wo prèt la, Ananias te kòmande sila ki te kanpe akote l yo pou frape l sou bouch li.
3 then Paul said unto him, 'God is about to smite thee, thou whitewashed wall, and thou — thou dost sit judging me according to the law, and, violating law, dost order me to be smitten!'
Konsa, Paul te di li: “Bondye pral frape ou, ou menm miray ki blanchi avèk lacho! Èske ou chita pou jije m selon Lalwa a, e nan vyolasyon Lalwa a, ou pase lòd pou yo frape m?”
4 And those who stood by said, 'The chief priest of God dost thou revile?'
Men sila ki te akote yo te di: “Èske se ensilte w ap ensilte wo prèt Bondye a?”
5 and Paul said, 'I did not know, brethren, that he is chief priest: for it hath been written, Of the ruler of thy people thou shalt not speak evil;'
Paul te reponn: “Mwen pa t okouran, frè m yo, ke li te wo prèt la. Paske sa ekri: ‘Nou pa pou pale mal a yon chèf a pèp nou an’”.
6 and Paul having known that the one part are Sadducees, and the other Pharisees, cried out in the sanhedrim, 'Men, brethren, I am a Pharisee — son of a Pharisee — concerning hope and rising again of dead men I am judged.'
Men byen konprann ke yon pati se te Sadiseyen yo, e lòt la, Farizyen yo, Paul te kòmanse kriye fò nan konsèy la: “Frè m yo, mwen menm se yon Fariziyen, yon fis a Farizyen. Mwen ap jije devan tribinal a pou esperans nan rezirèksyon a mò yo!”
7 And he having spoken this, there came a dissension of the Pharisees and of the Sadducees, and the crowd was divided,
Pandan li te di sa, te vin rive gen yon gran dezakò antre Farizyen yo ak Sadiseyen yo, epi asanble a te divize.
8 for Sadducees, indeed, say there is no rising again, nor messenger, nor spirit, but Pharisees confess both.
Paske Sadiseyen yo di ke nanpwen rezirèksyon, ni zanj, ni lespri, men Farizyen yo rekonèt yo tout.
9 And there came a great cry, and the scribes of the Pharisees' part having arisen, were striving, saying, 'No evil do we find in this man; and if a spirit spake to him, or a messenger, we may not fight against God;'
Konsa, te vin rive gen yon gwo tapaj. Kèk nan skrib pati Farizyen yo te kanpe e te kòmanse diskite byen cho. Yo t ap di: “Nou pa twouve okenn fot avèk nonm sila a. Si se yon lespri oswa yon zanj te pale ak li, annou pa goumen kont Bondye!”
10 and a great dissension having come, the chief captain having been afraid lest Paul may be pulled to pieces by them, commanded the soldiery, having gone down, to take him by force out of the midst of them, and to bring [him] to the castle.
Pandan konfli a t ap devlope, kòmandan an te pè pou yo pa ta chire Paul an mòso. Konsa, li te kòmande sòlda yo pou desann, retire li pami yo ak lafòs, e mennen l nan kazèn nan.
11 And on the following night, the Lord having stood by him, said, 'Take courage, Paul, for as thou didst fully testify the things concerning me at Jerusalem, so it behoveth thee also at Rome to testify.'
Men nan nwit swivan an, Senyè a te kanpe akote l e te di: “Pran kouraj, paske menm jan ke ou temwaye seryezman e konplètman pou kòz mwen Jérusalem nan, menm jan an ou oblije temwaye nan Rome osi.”
12 And day having come, certain of the Jews having made a concourse, did anathematize themselves, saying neither to eat nor to drink till they may kill Paul;
Lè jounen an te rive Jwif yo te fòme yon konplo. Yo te vin mare ansanm anba yon sèman, pou yo pa ta ni manje, ni bwè jiskaske yo te touye Paul.
13 and they were more than forty who made this conspiracy by oath,
Te gen plis ke karant moun ki te fòme konplo sila a.
14 who having come near to the chief priests and to the elders said, 'With an anathema we did anathematize ourselves — to taste nothing till we have killed Paul;
Yo te vini a chèf prèt ak ansyen yo, e te di: “Nou vin mare ansanm anba yon sèman serye e konplè pou pa goute anyen jiskaske nou touye Paul.
15 now, therefore, ye, signify ye to the chief captain, with the sanhedrim, that to-morrow he may bring him down unto you, as being about to know more exactly the things concerning him; and we, before his coming nigh, are ready to put him to death.'
Alò, konsa, ou menm avèk konsèy la avèti kòmandan an pou l mennen l desann kote nou, kòmsi nou t ap pral detèmine ka li a pi pre. E pou pati pa nou, nou prè pou touye l avan li rive pre kote a.”
16 And the son of Paul's sister having heard of the lying in wait, having gone and entered into the castle, told Paul,
Men fis a sè Paul la te tande afè konplo sila a, e li te vin antre kazèn nan pou te enfòme Paul.
17 and Paul having called near one of the centurions, said, 'This young man lead unto the chief captain, for he hath something to tell him.'
Konsa, Paul te rele youn nan santenye kote l yo e te di li: “Mennen jennonm sila a kote kòmandan an paske li gen yon rapò pou bay li.”
18 He indeed, then, having taken him, brought him unto the chief captain, and saith, 'The prisoner Paul, having called me near, asked [me] this young man to bring unto thee, having something to say to thee.'
Alò li te pran li, e te mennen li bay kòmandan an e te di l: “Paul prizonye a te rele mwen vè jennonm sila a pou vin kote w akoz li gen yon bagay pou di w.”
19 And the chief captain having taken him by the hand, and having withdrawn by themselves, inquired, 'What is that which thou hast to tell me?'
Kòmandan an te pran l pa lamen, e te rale l akote pou mande l an prive: “Kisa ou gen kòm rapò pou ban mwen an?”
20 and he said — 'The Jews agreed to request thee, that to-morrow to the sanhedrim thou mayest bring down Paul, as being about to enquire something more exactly concerning him;
Li te di: “Jwif yo gen tan fin dakò pou mande ou mennen Paul devan konsèy la demen, kòmsi yo t ap pral mande plis enfòmasyon sou li menm.
21 thou, therefore, mayest thou not yield to them, for there lie in wait for him of them more than forty men, who did anathematize themselves — not to eat nor to drink till they kill him, and now they are ready, waiting for the promise from thee.'
Pa kwè yo, paske plis ke karant nan yo ap tann pou atake l. Yo gen tan mare yo menm anba yon sèman pou yo pa ni manje ni bwè jiskaske yo touye l; koulye a y ap tann ou vin bay pèmisyon.”
22 The chief captain, then, indeed, let the young man go, having charged [him] to tell no one, 'that these things thou didst shew unto me;'
Kòmandan an te kite jennonm nan ale. Li te di l: “Pa di pèsòn ke ou pale bagay sa yo avè m.”
23 and having called near a certain two of the centurions, he said, 'Make ready soldiers two hundred, that they may go on unto Caesarea, and horsemen seventy, and spearmen two hundred, from the third hour of the night;
Konsa, li te rele de nan santenye yo. Li te di yo: “Ale fè de-san sòlda prè pou twazyèm lè nwit lan, pou pati pou Césarée, avèk swasann-dis chevalye, ak de-san sòlda ak lans.”
24 beasts also provide, that, having set Paul on, they may bring him safe unto Felix the governor;'
Yo te gen osi pou prepare cheval pou mete Paul, pou fè l rive sof kote Félix gouvènè a.
25 he having written a letter after this description:
Epi li te ekri yon lèt nan fòm sila a:
26 'Claudius Lysias, to the most noble governor Felix, hail:
Claude Lysias, a trè ekselan Gouvènè Félix; Salitasyon.
27 This man having been taken by the Jews, and being about to be killed by them — having come with the soldiery, I rescued him, having learned that he is a Roman;
“Lè mesye sa a te arete pa Jwif yo, e te prèt pou l te touye pa yo, mwen te vini sou yo avèk sòlda yo pou sekouri l, akoz ke m te vin konprann ke li te yon sitwayen Women.
28 and, intending to know the cause for which they were accusing him, I brought him down to their sanhedrim,
Epi akoz ke mwen te vle konprann chaj ke yo te pote kont li an, mwen te fè l rive devan Konsèy pa yo a.
29 whom I found accused concerning questions of their law, and having no accusation worthy of death or bonds;
Konsa, mwen te vin twouve ke li te akize sou kesyon konsènan pwòp lwa pa yo, men pa anba okenn akizasyon ki te merite lanmò oubyen prizon.
30 and a plot having been intimated to me against this man — about to be of the Jews — at once I sent unto thee, having given command also to the accusers to say the things against him before thee; be strong.'
“Lè m te enfòme ke ta gen yon konplo kont li, mwen te voye li kote ou sibitman, e osi te enstwi akizatè li yo pou mennen chaj kont li yo devan ou.”
31 Then, indeed, the soldiers according to that directed them, having taken up Paul, brought him through the night to Antipatris,
Konsa, sòlda yo selon lòd pa yo, te pran Paul pou mennen l nan nwit lan devan Antipatris.
32 and on the morrow, having suffered the horsemen to go on with him, they returned to the castle;
Men nan pwochen jou a yo te kite chevalye yo ale avè l, e yo te retounen nan Kazèn nan.
33 those having entered into Caesarea, and delivered the letter to the governor, did present also Paul to him.
Lè sa yo te rive Césarée e te livre lèt la bay Gouvènè a, yo te prezante Paul devan l.
34 And the governor having read [it], and inquired of what province he is, and understood that [he is] from Cilicia;
Lè li te fin li l, li te mande nan ki pwovens li te sòti, e lè li te vin aprann ke se te Cilicie,
35 'I will hear thee — said he — when thine accusers also may have come;' he also commanded him to be kept in the praetorium of Herod.
li te di: “Mwen va bay ou yon odyans apre akizatè ou yo vin rive tou.” Konsa, li te bay lòd pou yo ta kenbe l nan Pretwa Hérode la.
