Travay 10
1 Nan lavil Sezare te gen yon nonm ki te rele Kònèy. Li te kaptenn yon batayon sòlda moun peyi Itali nan lame women an.
Now there was a certain man in Caesarea, Cornelius by name, a centurion of what was called the Italian Regiment,
2 Kònèy te yon nonm ki t'ap sèvi Bondye jwif yo. Li menm ak tout fanmi l', yo te gen krentif pou Bondye. Li te fè anpil pou pòv yo pami pèp jwif la. Epi se tout tan li t'ap lapriyè Bondye.
a devout man, and one who feared God with all his house, who gave gifts for the needy generously to the people, and always prayed to God.
3 Yon jou apremidi, vè twazè, li fè yon vizyon: aklè konsa, li wè yon zanj Bondye antre lakay li. Zanj lan rele li: Kònèy!
At about the ninth hour of the day, he clearly saw in a vision an angel of God coming to him and saying to him, “Cornelius!”
4 Li gade zanj lan, li te pè, li di l' konsa: Sak genyen, Mèt? Zanj lan reponn li: Bondye asepte lapriyè ou yo ansanm ak tout byen ou te fè pou pòv yo. Epi li chonje ou.
He, fastening his eyes on him and being frightened, said, “What is it, Lord?” He said to him, “Your prayers and your gifts to the needy have gone up for a memorial before God.
5 Koulye a, voye moun lavil Jope, fè y' al chache yon nonm yo rele Simon (li gen yon ti non Pyè).
Now send men to Joppa, and get Simon, who is also called Peter.
6 Li fè ladesant lakay Simon, bòs tanè a, ki gen kay li bò lanmè a.
He is staying with a tanner named Simon, whose house is by the seaside.
7 Fini zanj Bondye a fin pale, li ale. Kònèy rele de domestik ansanm ak yonn nan gad kò l' ki t'ap sèvi Bondye jwif yo tou.
When the angel who spoke to him had departed, Cornelius called two of his household servants and a devout soldier of those who waited on him continually.
8 Li rakonte yo tou sak te pase. Lèfini, li voye yo Jope.
Having explained everything to them, he sent them to Joppa.
9 Nan denmen, vè midi konsa, yo te nan wout toujou, men yo te prèt pou rive Jope. Menm lè sa a, Pyè moute anwo sou tèt kay la pou li al lapriyè.
Now on the next day as they were on their journey and got close to the city, Peter went up on the housetop to pray at about noon.
10 Grangou bare l', li te anvi manje. Pandan yo t'ap pare manje pou li, li fè yon vizyon:
He became hungry and desired to eat, but while they were preparing, he fell into a trance.
11 Li wè syèl la louvri epi yon bagay t'ap desann soti ladan li. Bagay la te tankou yon gwo dra mare nan kat bout li ki t'ap file desann sou latè.
He saw heaven opened and a certain container descending to him, like a great sheet let down by four corners on the earth,
12 Te gen tout kalite bèt kat pat, tout kalite bèt ki trennen sou vant ak tout kalite zwezo ladan li.
in which were all kinds of four-footed animals of the earth, wild animals, reptiles, and birds of the sky.
13 Li tande yon vwa ki di l' konsa: Leve non, Pyè. Touye, lè ou fini, manje.
A voice came to him, “Rise, Peter, kill and eat!”
14 Men, Pyè di: Non, Mèt. Mwen pa janm manje move manje ni manje ki pa bon pou moun k'ap sèvi Bondye.
But Peter said, “Not so, Lord; for I have never eaten anything that is common or unclean.”
15 Menm vwa a pale ankò, li di li: Bagay Bondye di ki bon pou moun k'ap sèvi l', ou menm, pa di l' pa bon.
A voice came to him again the second time, “What God has cleansed, you must not call unclean.”
16 An twa fwa sa repete. Apre sa, lamenm bagay la moute tounen nan syèl la.
This was done three times, and immediately the thing was received up into heaven.
17 Pyè menm pa t' konn ki sans pou l' te bay vizyon li te fè a. Men, tout tan sa a, moun Kònèy te voye yo t'ap mande ki bò kay Simon an te ye. Yo te rive devan pòt la.
Now while Peter was very perplexed in himself what the vision which he had seen might mean, behold, the men who were sent by Cornelius, having made inquiry for Simon’s house, stood before the gate,
18 Yo rele moun, epi yo mande: Eske se isit Simon yo rele Pyè a fè ladesant li?
and called and asked whether Simon, who was also called Peter, was lodging there.
19 Pyè t'ap kalkile toujou sou sans pou l' te bay vizyon an, lè Sentespri di li: Koute. Gen twa moun anba a k'ap mande pou ou.
While Peter was pondering the vision, the Spirit said to him, “Behold, three men seek you.
20 Leve non, desann. Pati ak yo touswit, se mwen menm ki voye yo.
But arise, get down, and go with them, doubting nothing; for I have sent them.”
21 Pyè desann, li al jwenn mesye yo, epi l' di yo: Se mwen menm n'ap chache a. Kisak mennen nou isit la?
Peter went down to the men, and said, “Behold, I am he whom you seek. Why have you come?”
22 Yo reponn: Se kaptenn Kònèy ki voye nou. Nonm sa a, se yon bon gason ki gen krentif pou Bondye. Tout pèp jwif la konsidere l' anpil. Enben, yon zanj Bondye te di l' pou l' te voye chache ou pou ou vin lakay li. Li bezwen tande sa ou gen pou di l' la.
They said, “Cornelius, a centurion, a righteous man and one who fears God, and well spoken of by all the nation of the Jews, was directed by a holy angel to invite you to his house, and to listen to what you say.”
23 Pyè fè yo antre. Li fè yo pase nwit lan avè li. Nan denmen, li leve, li pati ak yo. Kèk frè lavil Jope ale avè l' tou.
So he called them in and provided a place to stay. On the next day Peter arose and went out with them, and some of the brothers from Joppa accompanied him.
24 Yo rive Sezare yon jou apre. Kònèy t'ap tann yo ak tout fanmi l' ansanm ak kèk bon zanmi l' li te envite lakay li.
On the next day they entered into Caesarea. Cornelius was waiting for them, having called together his relatives and his near friends.
25 Pyè fè sa pou l' antre, Kònèy kouri vin devan l', li lage kò l' nan pye l', li bese tèt li byen ba devan li.
When Peter entered, Cornelius met him, fell down at his feet, and worshiped him.
26 Men, Pyè fè l' leve, li di l' konsa: Kanpe non, monchè. Se yon moun mwen ye tou.
But Peter raised him up, saying, “Stand up! I myself am also a man.”
27 Pyè kontinye pale avèk li. Yo antre nan kay la epi Pyè jwenn yon bann moun ki te sanble.
As he talked with him, he went in and found many gathered together.
28 Li di yo: Nou konnen sa pa fèt: jwif pa gen dwa mele ak moun lòt nasyon ni mete pye lakay yo. Relijyon l' pa penmèt sa. Men, Bondye fè m' konnen, mwen pa gen dwa gade pesonn pou move moun ni pou moun ki pa nan kondisyon pou sèvi Bondye.
He said to them, “You yourselves know how it is an unlawful thing for a man who is a Jew to join himself or come to one of another nation, but God has shown me that I should not call any man unholy or unclean.
29 Se poutèt sa, voye ou voye rele m' lan, mwen pa fè ni yonn ni de, mwen vini. Koulye a, mwen ta renmen konnen poukisa ou voye chache m' lan.
Therefore I also came without complaint when I was sent for. I ask therefore, why did you send for me?”
30 Kònèy di li: Jòdi a fè kat jou, mwen te lakay mwen, mwen t'ap lapriyè vè twazè konsa nan apremidi. Mwen rete konsa, mwen wè yon nonm ki te gen yon bèl rad byen klere sou li kanpe devan mwen.
Cornelius said, “Four days ago, I was fasting until this hour; and at the ninth hour, I prayed in my house, and behold, a man stood before me in bright clothing
31 Epi l' di mwen: Kònèy, Bondye tande lapriyè ou, li chonje tout byen ou fè pou pòv yo.
and said, ‘Cornelius, your prayer is heard, and your gifts to the needy are remembered in the sight of God.
32 Voye yon moun lavil Jope al rele Simon ki gen ti non Pyè a. Se lakay Simon, bòs tanè ki bò lanmè a, li ye.
Send therefore to Joppa and summon Simon, who is also called Peter. He is staying in the house of a tanner named Simon, by the seaside. When he comes, he will speak to you.’
33 Menm lè a, mwen voye chache ou, epi ou asepte vini. Koulye a, men nou tout la devan Bondye, n'ap koute tou sa Bondye ba ou lòd di nou.
Therefore I sent to you at once, and it was good of you to come. Now therefore we are all here present in the sight of God to hear all things that have been commanded you by God.”
34 Pyè pran lapawòl, li di: Wi, koulye a, mwen konprann sa se vre: Bondye pa gade sou figi moun.
Peter opened his mouth and said, “Truly I perceive that God does not show favoritism;
35 Li kontan ak tout moun nan tout nasyon ki gen krentif pou li epi ki fè sa ki dwat devan li.
but in every nation he who fears him and works righteousness is acceptable to him.
36 Nou konnen mesaj Bondye te voye bay pèp Izrayèl la: li fè yo konnen bon nouvèl la ki di: Bondye voye Jezi ki Mèt tout moun pou bay tout moun kè poze.
The word which he sent to the children of Israel, preaching good news of peace by Jesus Christ—he is Lord of all—
37 Nou konnen sak te rive nan tout peyi Jide a. Bagay sa yo kòmanse nan peyi Galile, apre batèm Jan t'ap anonse a.
you yourselves know what happened, which was proclaimed throughout all Judea, beginning from Galilee, after the baptism which John preached;
38 Nou konnen tou ki jan Bondye te vide pouvwa Sentespri l' sou Jezi, moun Nazarèt la. Jezi mache nan tout peyi a, li t'ap fè byen, li t'ap geri tout moun ki te anba pouvwa Satan paske Bondye te kanpe avèk li.
how God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Spirit and with power, who went about doing good and healing all who were oppressed by the devil, for God was with him.
39 Nou menm k'ap pale la a, nou temwen tou sa li te fè nan peyi jwif yo ak nan Jerizalèm. Yo te touye l', yo te kloure l' sou kwa a.
We are witnesses of everything he did both in the country of the Jews and in Jerusalem; whom they also killed, hanging him on a tree.
40 Men sou twa jou, Bondye fè l' leve soti vivan nan lanmò. Apre sa, li fè moun wè li vivan.
God raised him up the third day and gave him to be revealed,
41 Se pa tout moun non ki te wè li. Se nou menm ase ki te wè li. Bondye te chwazi nou davans pou sèvi l' temwen. Wi, nou manje avè l', nou bwè avè l' apre Bondye te fè l' tounen vivan soti nan lanmò.
not to all the people, but to witnesses who were chosen before by God, to us, who ate and drank with him after he rose from the dead.
42 Li ban nou lòd mache fè konnen bon nouvèl la bay pèp la, pou n' fè konnen se Jezi menm Bondye mete pou jije tout moun san wete yonn, kit yo vivan kit yo mouri deja.
He commanded us to preach to the people and to testify that this is he who is appointed by God as the Judge of the living and the dead.
43 Tout pwofèt yo te di sa sou li: Nenpòt moun ki met konfyans yo nan Jezi va resevwa padon pou tout peche yo gremesi non sa a.
All the prophets testify about him, that through his name everyone who believes in him will receive remission of sins.”
44 Pyè t'ap pale toujou lè Sentespri a desann sou tout moun ki t'ap koute mesaj la.
While Peter was still speaking these words, the Holy Spirit fell on all those who heard the word.
45 Frè ki te soti lavil Jope ansanm ak Pyè yo se jwif yo te ye. Yo te sezi wè ki jan Bondye te bay moun ki pa jwif yo Sentespri l' an kantite.
They of the circumcision who believed were amazed, as many as came with Peter, because the gift of the Holy Spirit was also poured out on the Gentiles.
46 Yo te tande moun lòt nasyon yo ap pale nan lòt lang. Yo t'ap fè lwanj Bondye, yo t'ap di jan li gen pouvwa. Lè sa a Pyè di:
For they heard them speaking in other languages and magnifying God. Then Peter answered,
47 Moun sa yo resevwa Sentespri menm jan avèk nou. Koulye a, ki moun ki ka anpeche nou batize yo nan dlo tou?
“Can anyone forbid these people from being baptized with water? They have received the Holy Spirit just like us.”
48 Epi li bay lòd batize yo nan non Jezikri. Apre sa, yo mande Pyè pou l' rete pase kèk jou avèk yo.
He commanded them to be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ. Then they asked him to stay some days.
