Travay 13
1 Nan legliz Antiòch la te gen kèk pwofèt ak moun ki t'ap bay enstriksyon: se te Banabas, Simeon (yo te rele Ti Nwa), Lisiyis, moun Sirèn, Manayèn (ki te grandi ansanm ak Ewòd, gouvènè a), epi Sòl.
Now in the congregation that was in Antioch there were certain prophets and teachers: Barnabas, Simeon (the one called Niger), Lucius the Cyrenian, Manaen (who had been brought up with Herod the tetrarch), and Saul.
2 Yon jou, yo t'ap fè sèvis pou Bondye, yo t'ap fè jèn, lè Sentespri di yo: Mete Banabas ak Sòl apa pou mwen, pou yo fè travay mwen chwazi pou yo fè a.
As they were ministering to the Lord and fasting, the Holy Spirit said, “Set apart to me Barnabas and Saul for the work to which I have called them!”
3 Lè sa a, yo fè jèn, yo lapriyè, yo mete men sou tèt Banabas ak Sòl, epi yo kite yo ale.
Then, having fasted and prayed and laid their hands on them, they sent them off.
4 Se konsa Sentespri te voye Banabas ak Sòl an misyon. Y' al nan peyi Selesi. Antan yo la, yo pran yon batiman pou lil Chip.
So, having been sent out by the Holy Spirit, they went down to Seleucia; and from there they sailed to Cyprus.
5 Lè yo rive Salamin yo tanmen anonse pawòl Bondye a nan sinagòg jwif yo. Yo te gen Jan Mak avèk yo pou ede yo.
And upon arriving in Salamis, they started proclaiming the Word of God in the synagogues of the Jews (also they had John as assistant).
6 Yo travèse tout lil la nèt jouk Pafòs. Rive la, yo jwenn yon majisyen ki te rele Bajezi. Se te yon jwif ki te pran pòz pwofèt li.
Now when they had gone through the island to Paphos, they found a certain sorcerer, a false prophet, a Jew named Bar-Jesus,
7 Li te bon zanmi ak Sèjiyis Polis, chèf lil la. Sèjiyis Polis la te yon nonm lespri. Li fè rele Banabas ak Sòl paske li te vle tande pawòl Bondye a.
who was with the proconsul, Sergius Paulus, an intelligent man. This man summoned Barnabas and Saul, really wanting to hear the Word of God.
8 Men, Elimas (se te non majisyen an nan lang grèk) t'ap kenbe tèt ak yo. Li t'ap chache detounen gouvènè a pou l' pa t' kwè.
But the sorcerer Elymas (for so his name is translated) opposed them, seeking to turn the proconsul away from the faith.
9 Men, Sòl (yo te rele Pòl tou), anba pouvwa Sentespri, fikse je l' sou majisyen an,
Then Saul, also called Paul, filled with Holy Spirit and looking intently at him,
10 li di li: Ou menm, ou se pitit Satan. Ou plen riz ak mechanste nan kè ou, ou pa vle wè anyen ki bon. Eske ou p'ap sispann vire travay Bondye a lanvè?
said: “O full of all deceit and all trickery, son of a devil, enemy of all righteousness! Will you not stop perverting the straight ways of the Lord?
11 Koulye a, koute: Bondye pral mete men sou ou: ou pral vin avèg, ou p'ap wè limyè solèy pou kèk tan. Menm lè a, je Elimas vin bouche, li wè tou nwa. Li t'ap vire adwat agoch, li t'ap chache yon moun pou pran men l' pou kondi li.
Well now, the Lord's hand is against you and you will be blind, not seeing the sun until next season!” Immediately mist and darkness engulfed him, and he started going around looking for someone to lead him by the hand.
12 Lè gouvènè a wè sak te rive a, li kwè. Sa te frape l' anpil lè l' tande tou sa yo t'ap moutre li sou Seyè a.
Then the proconsul believed, when he saw what had happened, being astonished at the teaching of the Lord.
13 Pòl ak kanmarad li yo pran batiman nan lavil Pafòs, y' al lavil Pèj nan peyi Panfili. Antan yo la, Jan Mak kite yo, li tounen Jerizalèm.
Then Paul and his party set sail from Paphos and came to Perga in Pamphilia (here John left them and returned to Jerusalem).
14 Yo kite Pèj, yo pousib wout yo jouk yo rive lavil Antiòch nan peyi Pisidi. Jou repo a, yo antre nan sinagòg la, yo chita.
Going on from Perga they arrived in Antioch of Pisidia; and entering the synagogue on the Sabbath day, they sat down.
15 Apre moun yo te fin li nan liv lalwa a ak nan liv pwofèt yo, chèf sinagòg la voye di yo: Frè m' yo, si nou gen kèk pawòl pou ankouraje asanble a, nou mèt pale koulye a.
After the reading of the Law and the Prophets, the synagogue leaders sent to them, saying, “Men, brothers, if you have a word of encouragement for the people, do speak.”
16 Pòl leve kanpe, li fè yon siy ak men l', epi li di: Nou menm moun ras Izrayèl, ak nou menm moun lòt nasyon ki gen krentif pou Bondye, koute mwen.
So standing up and motioning with his hand, Paul said: “Men of Israel and you who fear God, listen.
17 Bondye pèp Izrayèl la te chwazi zansèt nou yo. Antan yo t'ap viv tankou etranje nan peyi Lejip, li fè pèp la vin yon kantite. Apre sa, ak fòs ponyèt li, li fè yo soti kite peyi a.
The God of this people chose our fathers, and prospered the people during their sojourn in the land of Egypt, and brought them out of it with an uplifted arm.
18 Pandan karantan, li pran pasyans ak yo nan dezè a.
For a period of about forty years He put up with them in the wilderness.
19 Li detwi sèt nasyon nan peyi Kanaran, li pran tout tè yo, li bay pèp li a pou pwopryete pa yo,
And when He had destroyed seven nations in the land of Canaan, He gave them possession of their land.
20 pou katsansenkant (450) lanne. Apre sa, li mete jij pou kòmande yo jouk pou rive nan tan pwofèt Samyèl.
After these things, He gave judges for about four hundred and fifty years, until Samuel the prophet.
21 Lè sa a, yo mande pou yon wa. Bondye ba yo Sayil, pitit gason Kis la, moun branch fanmi Benjamen, pou wa pandan karantan.
And then they asked for a king, and God gave them Saul, a son of Kish, a man of the tribe of Benjamin, for forty years.
22 Lè li wete Sayil, li ba yo David pou wa. Men sa Bondye te di sou David: Mwen jwenn David, pitit gason Izayi a. Se yon nonm ki fè m' plezi. Li va fè tou sa m' vle l' fè.
And removing him He raised up for them David as king, about whom He gave witness and said, ‘I have found David son of Jesse a man after my heart, who will do all my will.’
23 Se Jezi, yonn nan pitit pitit David yo, Bondye mete pou delivre pèp Izrayèl la, jan l' te pwomèt la.
God, from this man's seed, according to promise, has brought Salvation to Israel,
24 Men, anvan Jezi te vini, Jan t'ap mache bay mesaj sa a, li t'ap rele tout pèp Izrayèl la pou yo te tounen vin jwenn Bondye, pou yo te resevwa batèm.
John having heralded beforehand, in advance of His coming, a baptism of repentance to Israel.
25 Lè Jan te prèt pou fini ak misyon l' lan, li di pèp la: Ki moun nou kwè mwen ye? Moun n'ap tann lan, se pa mwen. Men, koute, moun sa a ap vini apre mwen. Mwen menm, mwen pa bon ase pou m' ta demare kòd sapat ki nan pye li.
Well, as John was fulfilling his course, he said: ‘Whom do you suppose me to be? No I am not—but indeed He comes after me, the sandals of whose feet I am not worthy to untie.’
26 Frè m' yo, nou menm moun ras Abraram lan ak nou menm moun lòt nasyon isit la ki gen krentif pou Bondye, Bondye voye di nou li vin delivre nou.
“Men, brothers, sons of the stock of Abraham, and those among you who fear God: to you the word of this salvation has been sent.
27 Paske, moun lavil Jerizalèm ansanm ak chèf yo pa t' konnen ki moun Jezi te ye. Yo pa t' konprann sans pawòl pwofèt yo, pawòl ki li nan zòrèy yo chak jou repo. Men, se yo menm ankò ki fè tout pawòl sa yo rive vre lè yo te kondannen Jezi.
The Jerusalem dwellers and their rulers, understanding neither Him nor the voices of the prophets that are read every Sabbath, fulfilled them by condemning Him.
28 Atout yo pa t' jwenn anyen nan sa Jezi te fè ki pou ta fè l' merite lanmò, yo te mande Pilat fè touye li.
Though they found no cause for death, they asked Pilate to have Him executed.
29 Lè yo fin fè tout bagay ki te ekri sou li nan liv yo rive vre, yo desann li sou kwa a, yo mete l' nan yon kavo.
When they had fulfilled all things that were written about Him, they took Him down from the cross and placed Him in a tomb.
30 Men, Bondye fè l' leve soti vivan nan lanmò.
But God raised Him from the dead;
31 Apre sa, pandan plizyè jou, moun ki te moute Jerizalèm soti peyi Galile ansanm avèk li yo, yo te wè l' ak je yo. Se yo menm k'ap sèvi l' temwen koulye a devan pèp Izrayèl la.
and for many days He was seen by those who came up with Him from Galilee to Jerusalem, who are His witnesses to the people.
32 Nou menm, nou vin fè nou konnen bon nouvèl sa a isit la. Bagay Bondye te pwomèt zansèt nou yo,
“Yes we proclaim to you the good news: the promise that was made to the fathers,
33 li fè l' pou nou ki pitit pitit yo: li fè Jezi leve soti vivan nan lanmò, dapre sa ki ekri nan Sòm de a: Ou se pitit mwen. Depi jòdi a se mwen ki papa ou.
God has fulfilled the same to us, their children, when He raised up Jesus; as also it stands written in the second Psalm: ‘You are my Son, today I have begotten you.’
34 Bondye te fè konnen li t'ap fè l' soti vivan nan lanmò pou l' pa t' janm tounen pouriti ankò. Se sa l' te fè konnen, lè l' te di: M'a ba ou tout benediksyon mwen te pwomèt David yo, ou mèt konte sou yo.
And that He raised Him from the dead, no longer to return to corruption, He has spoken thus, ‘I will give you the holy things guaranteed to David.’
35 Se poutèt sa, yon lòt kote li di konsa: Ou pa penmèt moun k'ap sèvi ou la pouri anba tè.
Further, it is stated elsewhere, ‘You will not allow your Holy One to see decay.’
36 Men, apre David te fin sèvi plan Bondye nan mitan moun ki t'ap viv menm lè avè l' yo, li mouri. Yo antere l' menm kote ak zansèt li yo, epi li pouri anba tè.
Now David, after he had served his own generation by the will of God, fell asleep, was buried with his fathers, and saw decay;
37 Men, moun Bondye te leve soti vivan nan lanmò a, li pa janm pouri anba tè.
but the One whom God raised up did not see decay.
38 -(we vèsè pwochen)
Therefore, let it be known to you, men, brothers, that through this One forgiveness of sins is proclaimed to you;
39 Frè m' yo, nou fèt pou nou konn sa byen: Bondye voye Jezi fè nou konnen l'ap padonnen tout peche nou yo: tout moun ki mete konfyans yo nan Jezi, y'ap delivre anba tout peche lalwa Moyiz pa t' ka wete pou yo.
and by Him everyone who believes is justified from everything you could not be justified from by the Law of Moses.
40 Atansyon pou bagay pwofèt yo te di a pa rive nou:
So take care, lest there come upon you that which has been spoken in the prophets:
41 Gade non, nou menm k'ap meprize moun, sezisman pral touye nou. Paske mwen pral fè yon travay koulye a nan mitan nou, bagay nou pa ta kwè, menm si moun ta rakonte nou li.
‘Look you despisers, marvel and perish! For I am working a work in your days to which you will not give credence, even if someone were to explain it in detail to you.’”
42 Antan Banabas ak Pòl t'ap soti nan sinagòg la, moun yo mande yo pou yo tounen jou repo k'ap vini an pou pale sou tout bagay sa yo ankò.
Now as the Jews were going out of the synagogue, the Gentiles implored repeatedly that these words might be spoken to them the next Sabbath.
43 Apre reyinyon an, anpil jwif ak anpil moun lòt nasyon ki te konvèti nan relijyon jwif yo te swiv Pòl ak Banabas. Apòt yo menm te pale ak yo, yo te ankouraje yo pou yo rete fèm nan favè Bondye.
The synagogue service having been dismissed, many of the Jews and the devout proselytes followed Paul and Barnabas, who started addressing them, urging them to continue in the grace of God.
44 Jou repo ki vin apre a, prèske tout moun nan lavil la te sanble pou tande pawòl Seyè a.
Well the next Sabbath almost the whole city was gathered to hear the Word of God.
45 Lè jwif yo wè foul moun yo, yo pran fè jalouzi: yo t'ap demanti tou sa Pòl t'ap di a, yo t'ap joure li.
But when the Jews saw the crowds, they were filled with envy and started speaking against the things said by Paul, contradicting and blaspheming.
46 Men, Pòl ak Banabas di yo kareman: Se nou menm premye moun ki pou te resevwa Pawòl Bondye a. Men, n'ap repouse l', nou pa konsidere tèt nou bon ase pou n' antre nan lavi ki p'ap janm fini an. Enben, koulye a nou pral vire bò kote moun lòt nasyon yo. (aiōnios g166)
But Paul and Barnabas speaking boldly said: “It was necessary that God's Word should be spoken to you first. But since you reject it, and judge yourselves unworthy of eternal life, now we are being turned to the Gentiles. (aiōnios g166)
47 Men lòd Bondye te ban nou: Mwen mete ou pou sèvi yon limyè pou lòt nasyon yo, pou ou kapab ale toupatou sou latè, moutre ki jan tout moun ka jwenn delivrans.
Because that is just how the Lord has commanded us: ‘I have set you to be a light for ethnic nations, that you should be for salvation up to the last place on earth.’”
48 Lè moun lòt nasyon yo tande sa, yo pa t' manke kontan: yo pran fè lwanj pawòl Bondye a. Tout moun Bondye te chwazi davans pou resevwa lavi ki p'ap janm fini an te kwè. (aiōnios g166)
Now upon hearing this, the Gentiles rejoiced and glorified the Word of the Lord; and as many as had been appointed to eternal live believed. (aiōnios g166)
49 Pawòl Bondye a t'ap gaye toupatou nan peyi a.
Well the Word of the Lord was being spread throughout all the region.
50 Men, jwif yo moute tèt medam lasosyete ki te konvèti nan relijyon jwif yo, ansanm ak grannèg lavil yo. Yo tout yo pran pèsekite Pòl ak Banabas: yo mete yo deyò nan peyi a.
But the Jews stirred up the devout and prominent women and the chief men of the city, and raised up a persecution against Paul and Barnabas, and expelled them from their borders.
51 Pòl ak Banabas souke pousyè pye yo sou yo, y' ale lavil Ikoniòm.
So they shook off the dust from their feet against them, and went to Iconium.
52 Nan Antiòch menm, disip yo te kontan anpil, Sentespri te plen kè yo.
But the disciples were filled with joy and with Holy Spirit.
