Travay 11
1 Apòt yo ansanm ak frè yo ki te nan Jide te tande ki jan moun ki pa jwif yo te resevwa pawòl Bondye a tou.
Now the apostles and the brothers who were in Judea heard that the Gentiles had also received the word of God.
2 Lè Pyè tounen moute Jerizalèm, jwif ki te kwè yo tanmen kritike li.
When Peter had come up to Jerusalem, those who were of the circumcision contended with him,
3 Yo di l' konsa: Apa ou antre lakay moun ki pa sikonsi, ou manje ak yo?
saying, “You went in to uncircumcised men and ate with them!”
4 Lè sa a, Pyè rakonte yo sak te pase nan tout ti detay. Li di yo:
But Peter began, and explained to them in order, saying,
5 Mwen te lavil Jope, mwen t'ap lapriyè, lè m' fè yon vizyon. Mwen wè yon bagay ki t'ap desann vin jwenn mwen, tankou yon gwo dra mare nan kat bout, ki t'ap desann sot nan syèl la. Li rive toupre mwen.
“I was in the city of Joppa praying, and in a trance I saw a vision: a certain container descending, like it was a great sheet let down from heaven by four corners. It came as far as me.
6 Lè m' gade byen gade, mwen wè tout kalite bèt andedan li: bèt kat pat, bèt nan bwa, bèt ki trennen sou vant ak zwezo.
When I had looked intently at it, I considered, and saw the four-footed animals of the earth, wild animals, creeping things, and birds of the sky.
7 Epi m' tande yon vwa ki di m' konsa: Leve non, Pyè, touye, manje.
I also heard a voice saying to me, ‘Rise, Peter, kill and eat!’
8 Men mwen di: Non, Mèt. Mwen pa janm mete move manje osinon manje ki pa bon pou moun k'ap sèvi Bondye nan bouch mwen.
But I said, ‘Not so, Lord, for nothing unholy or unclean has ever entered into my mouth.’
9 Menm vwa a pale ankò nan syèl la, li di mwen konsa: Bagay Bondye di ki bon pou moun k'ap sèvi l', pa di l' pa bon pou yo.
But a voice answered me the second time out of heaven, ‘What God has cleansed, do not you call unclean.’
10 An twa fwa sa repete. Epi bagay la moute tounen nan syèl la.
This was done three times, and all were drawn up again into heaven.
11 Menm lè a, twa moun ki te soti Sezare vin rive nan kay kote m' te ye a. Yo te voye yo chache mwen.
Behold, immediately three men stood before the house where I was, having been sent from Caesarea to me.
12 Lespri a di m' pati ak yo san rete ap kalkile. Sis frè sa yo te al ansanm avè m' tou Sezare. Nou tout nou antre lakay Kònèy.
The Spirit told me to go with them without discriminating. These six brothers also accompanied me, and we entered into the man’s house.
13 Kònèy rakonte nou ki jan l' te wè yon zanj Bondye kanpe nan mitan lakay li. Zanj lan di li: Voye yon moun lavil Jope al rele Simon (ki gen yon ti non Pyè).
He told us how he had seen the angel standing in his house and saying to him, ‘Send to Joppa and get Simon, who is called Peter,
14 Simon sa a va di ou pawòl ki pou sove ou ansanm ak tout fanmi ou.
who will speak to you words by which you will be saved, you and all your house.’
15 Mwen te kòmanse pale lè Sentespri a desann sou yo menm jan li te desann sou nou premye jou a.
As I began to speak, the Holy Spirit fell on them, even as on us at the beginning.
16 Lè sa a, mwen vin chonje sa Seyè a te di: Jan te batize nan dlo, men nou menm nou gen pou n' resevwa batèm nan Sentespri a.
I remembered the word of the Lord, how he said, ‘John indeed baptized in water, but you will be baptized in the Holy Spirit.’
17 Konsa, Bondye te bay moun sa yo menm kado li te ban nou an lè n' te mete konfyans nou nan Seyè Jezikri. Kisa m' te ye menm pou m' te fè tèt ak Bondye?
If then God gave to them the same gift as us when we believed in the Lord Jesus Christ, who was I, that I could withstand God?”
18 Lè yo fin tande pawòl sa yo, yo sispann kritike l', yo pran fè lwanj Bondye. Yo t'ap di: Se vre wi. Bondye bay moun ki pa jwif yo chans pou yo chanje, pou yo ka resevwa lavi tou.
When they heard these things, they held their peace and glorified God, saying, “Then God has also granted to the Gentiles repentance to life!”
19 Avèk pèsekisyon ki te tonbe sou yo apre lanmò Etyèn lan, disip yo te gaye. Genyen ki te al jouk nan peyi Finisi, nan lil Chip, ak lavil Antiòch. Men, yo t'ap anonse pawòl la bay jwif yo sèlman.
They therefore who were scattered abroad by the oppression that arose about Stephen traveled as far as Phoenicia, Cyprus, and Antioch, speaking the word to no one except to Jews only.
20 Lè sa a, kèk disip ki te moun Chip ak moun Sirèn al lavil Antiòch. Antan yo la a, yo pale ak moun Lagrès yo; yo fè yo konnen bon nouvèl ki pale sou Jezi Seyè a.
But there were some of them, men of Cyprus and Cyrene, who, when they had come to Antioch, spoke to the Hellenists, preaching the Lord Jesus.
21 Pouvwa Bondye te avèk yo; anpil nan moun Lagrès yo rive kwè, yo te tounen vin jwenn Bondye.
The hand of the Lord was with them, and a great number believed and turned to the Lord.
22 Legliz Jerizalèm lan vin aprann nouvèl la. Li voye Banabas lavil Antiòch.
The report concerning them came to the ears of the assembly which was in Jerusalem. They sent out Barnabas to go as far as Antioch,
23 Lè Banabas rive, li wè ki jan Bondye t'ap beni disip yo. Li pa t' manke kontan, li t'ap ankouraje yo pou yo tout te kenbe fèm ak tout kè yo nan sèvis Seyè a san dekouraje.
who, when he had come, and had seen the grace of God, was glad. He exhorted them all, that with purpose of heart they should remain near to the Lord.
24 Banabas sa a te yon bon gason. Li te gen anpil konfyans nan Bondye, epi Sentespri te kenbe l' anba pouvwa l' tout tan. Anpil moun te vin kwè nan Seyè a.
For he was a good man, and full of the Holy Spirit and of faith, and many people were added to the Lord.
25 Apre sa, Banabas ale lavil Tas, li al chache Sòl.
Barnabas went out to Tarsus to look for Saul.
26 Lè l' jwenn li, li mennen l' lavil Antiòch. Yo pase yon lanne ansanm ap fè reyinyon ak legliz la. Yo t'ap moutre anpil moun sa pou yo fè. Se nan lavil Antiòch sa a premyè fwa yo te rele disip yo kretyen.
When he had found him, he brought him to Antioch. For a whole year they were gathered together with the assembly, and taught many people. The disciples were first called Christians in Antioch.
27 Lè sa a, kèk pwofèt soti Jerizalèm rive Antiòch.
Now in these days, prophets came down from Jerusalem to Antioch.
28 Yonn ladan yo, ki te rele Agabis, leve epi avèk pouvwa Sentespri, li fè konnen tapral gen yon gwo grangou sou tout latè. (Grangou sa a te rive vre sou reny wa Klòd.)
One of them named Agabus stood up and indicated by the Spirit that there should be a great famine all over the world, which also happened in the days of Claudius.
29 Disip yo deside pou chak moun bay sa yo kapab pou yo voye ede frè yo ki te nan peyi Jide.
As any of the disciples had plenty, each determined to send relief to the brothers who lived in Judea;
30 Se sa menm yo te fè. Apre sa, yo voye Banabas ak Sòl pote sa yo te ranmase a bay chèf fanmi yo ki te nan Jide.
which they also did, sending it to the elders by the hands of Barnabas and Saul.
