Acts 28
1 And having been saved, then they knew that the island is called Melita,
Lè yo tout te fin rive sof nou te vin twouve ke lil la te rele Malte.
2 and the foreigners were shewing us no ordinary kindness, for having kindled a fire, they received us all, because of the pressing rain, and because of the cold;
Natif peyi yo te byen resevwa nou ak yon dousè ekstrawòdinè. Akoz lapli a ki te vin fèmen sou nou, avèk anpil fredi, yo te limen yon dife e te resevwa nou tout.
3 but Paul having gathered together a quantity of sticks, and having laid [them] upon the fire, a viper — out of the heat having come — did fasten on his hand.
Men lè Paul te ranmase yon pakèt bwa e te mete yo sou dife a, yon vipè te sòti akoz chalè a e te tache nan men l.
4 And when the foreigners saw the beast hanging from his hand, they said unto one another, 'Certainly this man is a murderer, whom, having been saved out of the sea, the justice did not suffer to live;'
Lè natif yo te wè bèt la k ap pann soti nan men li, yo te kòmanse di youn ak lòt: “San dout mesye sa a se yon asasen, epi malgre li sove soti nan lanmè a, jistis p ap kite li viv.”
5 he then, indeed, having shaken off the beast into the fire, suffered no evil,
Konsa, li te souke retire bèt la jete nan dife a, men l pa t gen anyen.
6 and they were expecting him to be about to be inflamed, or to fall down suddenly dead, and they, expecting [it] a long time, and seeing nothing uncommon happening to him, changing [their] minds, said he was a god.
Men yo t ap atann ke li vin anfle e sibitman tonbe mouri. Men apre yo te tann pandan anpil tan e pa t wè anyen rive li, yo te reflechi yon lòt jan e te kòmanse di ke li te yon dye.
7 And in the neighbourhood of that place were lands of the principal man of the island, by name Publius, who, having received us, three days did courteously lodge [us];
Alò, toupre kote sila a, te gen tè ki te pou mesye pi enpòtan nan lil la, ke yo te rele Publius, ki te bannou byenveni. Li te byen emab e li te bay nou lojman pandan twa jou.
8 and it came to pass, the father of Publius with feverish heats and dysentery pressed, was laid, unto whom Paul having entered, and having prayed, having laid [his] hands on him, healed him;
Li te vin rive ke papa a Publius te kouche byen malad avèk lafyèv ak dyare. Paul te ale wè li e lè li te fin priye pou li, li te poze men l sou li e te geri li.
9 this, therefore, being done, the others also in the island having infirmities were coming and were healed;
Aprè sa te fin fèt, tout lòt moun sou lil la ki te gen maladi t ap vin kote li e t ap geri.
10 who also with many honours did honour us, and we setting sail — they were lading [us] with the things that were necessary.
Anplis, yo te onore nou avèk anpil mak respè, e lè nou t ap pran vwal, yo te founi nou tout sa nou te bezwen.
11 And after three months, we set sail in a ship (that had wintered in the isle) of Alexandria, with the sign Dioscuri,
Nan fen twa mwa yo nou te pran vwal sou yon bato Alexandryen ki osi te pase sezon livè a nan lil la. Li te gen Frè Jimo yo kon òneman devan an kòm tèt bato a.
12 and having landed at Syracuse, we remained three days,
Apre nou te antre o pò nan Syracuse, nou te rete la pandan twa jou.
13 thence having gone round, we came to Rhegium, and after one day, a south wind having sprung up, the second [day] we came to Puteoli;
Soti la, nou te pran vwal pou antoure rive nan Reggio. Yon jou pita, yon van sid te parèt, e nan dezyèm jou a nou te rive Pouzzles.
14 where, having found brethren, we were called upon to remain with them seven days, and thus to Rome we came;
La nou te twouve kèk frè ki te envite nou rete avèk yo pandan sèt jou, e konsa nou te rive Rome.
15 and thence, the brethren having heard the things concerning us, came forth to meet us, unto Appii Forum, and Three Taverns — whom Paul having seen, having given thanks to God, took courage.
Epi frè fidèl yo, lè yo te tande de nou, te vini la soti nan distans pou rive nan Mache Appuis la avèk Twa Tavernes pou rankontre nou. Lè Paul te wè yo, li te remèsye Bondye e te pran kouraj.
16 And when we came to Rome, the centurion delivered up the prisoners to the captain of the barrack, but Paul was suffered to remain by himself, with the soldier guarding him.
Lè nou te antre Rome, Paul te jwenn pèmisyon pou rete pou kont li, avèk sòlda ki t ap veye l la.
17 And it came to pass after three days, Paul called together those who are the principal men of the Jews, and they having come together, he said unto them: 'Men, brethren, I — having done nothing contrary to the people, or to the customs of the fathers — a prisoner from Jerusalem, was delivered up to the hands of the Romans;
Apre twa jou Paul te rele ansanm moun ki te pi enpòtan pami mesye Jwif yo. Lè yo te vin ansanm, li te kòmanse ap di yo: “Frè yo malgre mwen pa t fè anyen kont pèp nou an, oubyen koutim zansèt nou yo, konsa, mwen te livre kòm prizonye soti Jérusalem nan men Women yo.
18 who, having examined me, were wishing to release [me], because of their being no cause of death in me,
Epi lè yo menm te egzamine mwen, yo te dakò pou lage m paske yo pa t twouve baz pou mete m a lanmò.
19 and the Jews having spoken against [it], I was constrained to appeal unto Caesar — not as having anything to accuse my nation of;
Men lè Jwif yo te vin pa dakò, mwen te oblije fè apèl a César, pa akoz ke m te gen okenn akizasyon kont nasyon mwen an.
20 for this cause, therefore, I called for you to see and to speak with [you], for because of the hope of Israel with this chain I am bound.'
Pou rezon sa a, donk mwen te mande wè nou pou pale avèk nou, paske mwen ap pote chenn sa a pou lespwa Israël la.”
21 And they said unto him, 'We did neither receive letters concerning thee from Judea, nor did any one who came of the brethren declare or speak any evil concerning thee,
Yo te di li: “Nou pa t ni resevwa lèt sòti Judée konsènan ou, ni pa t gen okenn nan frè yo ki te vin isit la pou rapòte oswa pale anyen mal de ou menm.
22 and we think it good from thee to hear what thou dost think, for, indeed, concerning this sect it is known to us that everywhere it is spoken against;'
Men nou dezire tande de ou menm sa ke ou panse. Paske konsènan sèkt sa a, se byen koni pami nou menm ke yo pale kont li toupatou.”
23 and having appointed him a day, they came, more of them unto him, to the lodging, to whom he was expounding, testifying fully the reign of God, persuading them also of the things concerning Jesus, both from the law of Moses, and the prophets, from morning till evening,
Lè yo te fikse yon jou pou Paul, yo te vini kote lojman li an an gran nonb. Li t ap eksplike yo nan temwayaj klè e konplè de wayòm Bondye a ak nan eseye fè yo kwè konsènan Jésus, soti nan Lalwa Moïse la ak nan pwofèt yo depi granmmaten jis rive nan aswè.
24 and, some, indeed, were believing the things spoken, and some were not believing.
Kèk te vin kwè akoz bagay ki te pale yo, men lòt yo te refize kwè.
25 And not being agreed with one another, they were going away, Paul having spoken one word — 'Well did the Holy Spirit speak through Isaiah the prophet unto our fathers,
Lè yo pa t dakò youn avèk lòt, yo te kòmanse pati lè Paul te fin pale dènye pawòl sila a: “Lespri Sen an te gen rezon lè l te pale atravè Ésaïe, pwofèt a zansèt nou yo,
26 saying, Go on unto this people and say, With hearing ye shall hear, and ye shall not understand, and seeing ye shall see, and ye shall not perceive,
Lè l te di: ‘Ale nan pèp sa epi di: “Nou va toujou tande, men nou p ap konprann. Nou va toujou gade, men nou p ap wè anyen.
27 for made gross was the heart of this people, and with the ears they heard heavily, and their eyes they did close, lest they may see with the eyes, and with the heart may understand, and be turned back, and I may heal them.
Paske kè a moun sa yo vin di. Zòrèy pa yo, yo manke tande. E yo fèmen zye yo; otreman pou yo ta wè avèk zye yo, tande avèk zòrèy yo, konprann avèk kè yo, e retounen, pou Mwen ta geri yo.’
28 'Be it known, therefore, to you, that to the nations was sent the salvation of God, these also will hear it;'
“Konsa, Kite l byen konnen a nou menm, ke delivrans sila gen tan voye osi a pèp etranje yo. Yo menm va koute.”
29 and he having said these things, the Jews went away, having much disputation among themselves;
Lè li te fin pale pawòl sa yo, Jwif yo te pati, e yo t ap diskite pami yo menm.
30 and Paul remained an entire two years in his own hired [house], and was receiving all those coming in unto him,
Konsa, Paul te rete la pandan dezan nan pwòp chanm li ke li te lwe a. Li te trè kontan resevwa tout sila ki te vin wè li yo.
31 preaching the reign of God, and teaching the things concerning the Lord Jesus Christ with all boldness — unforbidden.
Li t ap preche wayòm Bondye a, e t ap enstwi konsènan Senyè a Jésus Kri, avèk tout libète, san anpèchman.
