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.
And the apostles and the brethren who are in Judea heard that also the nations did receive the word of God,
2 Lè Pyè tounen moute Jerizalèm, jwif ki te kwè yo tanmen kritike li.
and when Peter came up to Jerusalem, those of the circumcision were contending with him,
3 Yo di l' konsa: Apa ou antre lakay moun ki pa sikonsi, ou manje ak yo?
saying — 'Unto men uncircumcised thou didst go in, and didst eat with them!'
4 Lè sa a, Pyè rakonte yo sak te pase nan tout ti detay. Li di yo:
And Peter having begun, did expound 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 I saw in a trance a vision, a certain vessel coming down, as a great sheet by four corners being let down out of the heaven, and it came unto 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.
at which having looked stedfastly, I was considering, and I saw the four-footed beasts of the earth, and the wild beasts, and the creeping things, and the fowls of heaven;
7 Epi m' tande yon vwa ki di m' konsa: Leve non, Pyè, touye, manje.
and I heard a voice saying to me, Having risen, Peter, slay 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.
and I said, Not so, Lord; because anything common or unclean hath at no time 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.
and a voice did answer me a second time out of the heaven, What God did cleanse, thou — declare not thou common.
10 An twa fwa sa repete. Epi bagay la moute tounen nan syèl la.
'And this happened thrice, and again was all drawn up to the 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.
and, lo, immediately, three men stood at the house in which I was, having been sent from Caesarea unto 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.
and the Spirit said to me to go with them, nothing doubting, and these six brethren also went with me, and we did enter into the house of the man,
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 declared also to us how he saw the messenger in his house standing, and saying to him, Send men to Joppa, and call for Simon, who is surnamed Peter,
14 Simon sa a va di ou pawòl ki pou sove ou ansanm ak tout fanmi ou.
who shall speak sayings by which thou shalt be saved, thou and all thy house.
15 Mwen te kòmanse pale lè Sentespri a desann sou yo menm jan li te desann sou nou premye jou a.
'And in my beginning to speak, the Holy Spirit did fall upon them, even as also upon us in 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.
and I remembered the saying of the Lord, how he said, John indeed did baptize with water, and ye shall be baptized with 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 the equal gift God did give to them as also to us, having believed upon the Lord Jesus Christ, I — how was I able to 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.
And they, having heard these things, were silent, and were glorifying God, saying, 'Then, indeed, also to the nations did God give the reformation 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.
Those, indeed, therefore, having been scattered abroad, from the tribulation that came after Stephen, went through unto Phenice, and Cyprus, and Antioch, speaking the word to none 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.
and there were certain of them men of Cyprus and Cyrene, who having entered into Antioch, were speaking unto the Hellenists, proclaiming good news — the Lord Jesus,
21 Pouvwa Bondye te avèk yo; anpil nan moun Lagrès yo rive kwè, yo te tounen vin jwenn Bondye.
and the hand of the Lord was with them, a great number also, having believed, did turn unto the Lord.
22 Legliz Jerizalèm lan vin aprann nouvèl la. Li voye Banabas lavil Antiòch.
And the account was heard in the ears of the assembly that [is] in Jerusalem concerning them, and they sent forth Barnabas to go through unto 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, having come, and having seen the grace of God, was glad, and was exhorting all with purpose of heart to cleave 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.
because he was a good man, and full of the Holy Spirit, and of faith, and a great multitude was added to the Lord.
25 Apre sa, Banabas ale lavil Tas, li al chache Sòl.
And Barnabas went forth to Tarsus, to seek 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.
and having found him, he brought him to Antioch, and it came to pass that they a whole year did assemble together in the assembly, and taught a great multitude, the disciples also were divinely called first in Antioch Christians.
27 Lè sa a, kèk pwofèt soti Jerizalèm rive Antiòch.
And in those days there came from Jerusalem prophets 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.)
and one of them, by name Agabus, having stood up, did signify through the Spirit a great dearth is about to be throughout all the world — which also came to pass in the time of Claudius Caesar —
29 Disip yo deside pou chak moun bay sa yo kapab pou yo voye ede frè yo ki te nan peyi Jide.
and the disciples, according as any one was prospering, determined each of them to send for ministration to the brethren dwelling 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 also they did, having sent unto the elders by the hand of Barnabas and Saul.
