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.
And there was a certain man in Caesarea, named Cornelius, a centurion of that which is called the Italian band;
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 religious man, and fearing God with all his house, giving much alms to the people, and always praying 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!
This man saw in a vision manifestly, about the ninth hour of the day, an angel of God coming in unto 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.
And he, beholding him, being seized with fear, said: What is it, Lord? And he said to him: Thy prayers and thy alms are ascended for a memorial in the sight of God.
5 Koulye a, voye moun lavil Jope, fè y' al chache yon nonm yo rele Simon (li gen yon ti non Pyè).
And now send men to Joppe, and call hither one Simon, who is surnamed Peter:
6 Li fè ladesant lakay Simon, bòs tanè a, ki gen kay li bò lanmè a.
He lodgeth with one Simon a tanner, whose house is by the sea side. He will tell thee what thou must do.
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.
And when the angel who spoke to him was departed, he called two of his household servants, and a soldier who feared the Lord, of them that were under him.
8 Li rakonte yo tou sak te pase. Lèfini, li voye yo Jope.
To whom when he had related all, he sent them to Joppe.
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.
And on the next day, whilst they were going on their journey, and drawing nigh to the city, Peter went up to the higher parts of the house to pray, about the sixth hour.
10 Grangou bare l', li te anvi manje. Pandan yo t'ap pare manje pou li, li fè yon vizyon:
And being hungry, he was desirous to taste somewhat. And as they were preparing, there came upon him an ecstasy of mind.
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.
And he saw the heaven opened, and a certain vessel descending, as it were a great linen sheet let down by the four corners from heaven to the earth:
12 Te gen tout kalite bèt kat pat, tout kalite bèt ki trennen sou vant ak tout kalite zwezo ladan li.
Wherein were all manner of fourfooted beasts, and creeping things of the earth, and fowls of the air.
13 Li tande yon vwa ki di l' konsa: Leve non, Pyè. Touye, lè ou fini, manje.
And there came a voice to him: Arise, 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: Far be it from me; for I never did eat any thing that is common and 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.
And the voice spoke to him again the second time: That which God hath cleansed, do not thou call common.
16 An twa fwa sa repete. Apre sa, lamenm bagay la moute tounen nan syèl la.
And this was done thrice; and presently the vessel was taken 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, whilst Peter was doubting within himself, what the vision that he had seen should mean, behold the men who were sent from Cornelius, inquiring for Simon’s house, stood at the gate.
18 Yo rele moun, epi yo mande: Eske se isit Simon yo rele Pyè a fè ladesant li?
And when they had called, they asked, if Simon, who is surnamed Peter, were lodged 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.
And as Peter was thinking of the vision, the Spirit said to him: Behold three men seek thee.
20 Leve non, desann. Pati ak yo touswit, se mwen menm ki voye yo.
Arise, therefore, get thee 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?
Then Peter, going down to the men, said: Behold, I am he whom you seek; what is the cause for which you are 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.
Who said: Cornelius, a centurion, a just man, and one that feareth God, and having good testimony from all the nation of the Jews, received an answer of an holy angel, to send for thee into his house, and to hear words of thee.
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.
Then bringing them in, he lodged them. And the day following he arose, and went with them: and some of the brethren from Joppe 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.
And the morrow after, he entered into Caesarea. And Cornelius waited for them, having called together his kinsmen and special 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.
And it came to pass, that when Peter was come in, Cornelius came to meet him, Cornelius came to meet him, and falling at his feet adored.
26 Men, Pyè fè l' leve, li di l' konsa: Kanpe non, monchè. Se yon moun mwen ye tou.
But Peter lifted him up, saying: Arise, I myself also am a man.
27 Pyè kontinye pale avèk li. Yo antre nan kay la epi Pyè jwenn yon bann moun ki te sanble.
And talking with him, he went in, and found many that were come 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.
And he said to them: You know how abominable it is for a man that is a Jew, to keep company or to come unto one of another nation: but God hath shewed to me, to call no man common 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.
For which cause, making no doubt, I came when I was sent for. I ask, therefore, for what cause you have sent 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.
And Cornelius said: Four days ago, unto this hour, I was praying in my house, at the ninth hour, and behold a man stood before me in white apparel, and said:
31 Epi l' di mwen: Kònèy, Bondye tande lapriyè ou, li chonje tout byen ou fè pou pòv yo.
Cornelius, thy prayer is heard, and thy alms are had in remembrance 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 Joppe, and call hither Simon, who is surnamed Peter: he lodgeth in the house of Simon a tanner, by the sea side.
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.
Immediately therefore I sent to thee: and thou hast done well in coming. Now therefore all we are present in thy sight, to hear all things whatsoever are commanded thee by the Lord.
34 Pyè pran lapawòl, li di: Wi, koulye a, mwen konprann sa se vre: Bondye pa gade sou figi moun.
And Peter opening his mouth, said: In very deed I perceive, that God is not a respecter of persons.
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 that feareth him, and worketh justice, 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.
God sent the word to the children of Israel, preaching 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 know the word which hath been published through all Judea: for it began 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.
Jesus of Nazareth: how God anointed him with the Holy Ghost, and with power, who went about doing good, and healing all that 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.
And we are witnesses of all things that he did in the land of the Jews and in Jerusalem, whom they killed, hanging him upon a tree.
40 Men sou twa jou, Bondye fè l' leve soti vivan nan lanmò. Apre sa, li fè moun wè li vivan.
Him God raised up the third day, and gave him to be made manifest,
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 preordained by God, even to us, who did eat and drink with him after he arose again 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.
And he commanded us to preach to the people, and to testify that it is he who was appointed by God, to be judge of the living and of 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.
To him all the prophets give testimony, that by his name all receive remission of sins, who believe in him.
44 Pyè t'ap pale toujou lè Sentespri a desann sou tout moun ki t'ap koute mesaj la.
While Peter was yet speaking these words, the Holy Ghost fell on all them that 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.
And the faithful of the circumcision, who came with Peter, were astonished, for that the grace of the Holy Ghost was poured out upon the Gentiles also.
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 with tongues, and magnifying God.
47 Moun sa yo resevwa Sentespri menm jan avèk nou. Koulye a, ki moun ki ka anpeche nou batize yo nan dlo tou?
Then Peter answered: Can any man forbid water, that these should not be baptized, who have received the Holy Ghost, as well as we?
48 Epi li bay lòd batize yo nan non Jezikri. Apre sa, yo mande Pyè pou l' rete pase kèk jou avèk yo.
And he commanded them to be baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ. Then they desired him to tarry with them some days.
