< Travay 14 >

1 Nan Ikoniòm, Pòl ak Banabas antre nan sinagòg jwif yo tou. Yo pale sitèlman byen, anpil jwif ak anpil moun lòt nasyon te kwè.
Now in Iconium they went together to the Synagogue of the Jews and gave such teaching that a great number of Jews and Greeks had faith.
2 Men jwif ki pa t' kwè yo moute tèt moun lòt nasyon yo, yo fè yo vire sou do Pòl ak Banabas.
But those Jews who had not the faith, made the minds of the Gentiles bitter against the brothers.
3 Pòl ak Banabas rete nan lavil la lontan ankò, yo t'ap fè konnen favè Bondye a avèk anpil konviksyon, paske yo te gen konfyans nan Seyè a. Seyè a menm te bay disip yo pouvwa fè anpil bèl bagay ak anpil mirak pou l' te moutre sa yo t'ap di a te vre.
So they kept there for a long time, taking heart in the Lord, who gave witness to the word of his grace by causing signs and wonders to be done by their hands.
4 Nan lavil la moun te fè de kan: yon bò te gen patizan jwif yo, lòt bò a te gen patizan apòt yo.
But there was a division among the people of the town; some were on the side of the Jews and some on the side of the Apostles.
5 Jwif yo, moun lòt nasyon yo ansanm ak chèf yo t'ap pare pou maltrete Pòl ak Banabas, pou touye yo ak kout wòch.
And when a violent attempt was made by the Gentiles and the Jews, with their rulers, to make an attack on them and have them stoned,
6 Lè Pòl ak Banabas wè sa, yo kouri met deyò, y' al nan peyi Likaoni, yo rete lavil List ak lavil Dèb ak nan vwazinaj yo.
Having got news of it, they went in flight to the towns of Lycaonia, Lystra, and Derbe, and the country round about:
7 Yo t'ap anonse bon nouvèl la la tou.
And went on preaching the good news there.
8 Nan List te gen yon nonm enfim ki te toujou rete chita, paske de pye l' yo te paralize. Li te fèt tou konsa, li pa t' janm mache menm.
And at Lystra there was a certain man, who from birth had been without the use of his feet, never having had the power of walking.
9 Li t'ap koute sa Pòl t'ap di. Pòl fikse je l' sou li, li wè nonm lan te gen kont konfyans nan Bondye pou l' te geri.
This man was giving ear to the preaching of Paul, who, looking at him, and seeing that he had faith to be made well,
10 Pòl pale byen fò, li di: Leve, kanpe dwat sou de pye ou yo! Nonm lan vole kanpe, epi li pran mache.
Said in a loud voice, Get up on your feet. And, jumping up, he went walking about.
11 Lè foul moun yo wè sa Pòl te fè a, yo pran rele an likaonyen, lang peyi a: Men bondye yo pran fòm moun, yo desann vin jwenn nou.
And when the people saw what Paul had done, they said in a loud voice, in the language of Lycaonia, The gods have come down to us in the form of men.
12 Yo rele Banabas Zeyis, yo rele Pòl Emès paske se li menm ki t'ap pale.
And they gave the name of Jupiter to Barnabas, and to Paul that of Mercury, because he was the chief talker.
13 Prèt ki sèvi nan tanp Zeyis ki te bò pòtay lavil la mennen kèk towo bèf ak kolye flè devan pòtay la. Ansanm ak pèp la, yo t'ap pare pou yo te fè ofrann bèt pou yo touye bay Pòl ak Banabas.
And the priest of the image of Jupiter, which was before the town, took oxen and flowers to the doors of the town, and was about to make an offering with the people.
14 Lè apòt yo tande sa, yo chire rad sou yo, yo kouri nan mitan foul la, yo pale byen fò, yo t'ap di:
But when this came to the ears of the Apostles, Paul and Barnabas, they went running out among the people, parting their clothing, and crying out,
15 Mezanmi, sa n'ap fè konsa? Nou se moun tankou nou tou: nou vin isit la anonse nou yon bon nouvèl: Se pou nou kite tout zidòl sa yo ki pa vo anyen pou n' vire bò kot Bondye ki vivan an. Se li menm ki fè syèl la, tè a, lanmè a ansanm ak tout sa ki ladan yo.
Good people, why are you doing these things? We are men with the same feelings as you, and we give you the good news so that you may be turned away from these foolish things to the living God, who made the heaven and the earth and the sea and all things in them:
16 Nan tan lontan, li te kite tout nasyon swiv chemen pa yo.
Who in the past let all nations go in the ways which seemed good to them.
17 Men, li te toujou ap fè yo konnen ki moun li ye, li te fè anpil byen pou yo: li ban nou lapli ki soti nan syèl la ak sezon rekòt. Li ban nou manje an kantite, epi li fè kè nou kontan anpil.
But he was not without witness, because he did good, and gave you rain from heaven and times of fruit, making your hearts full of food and joy.
18 Menm avèk tout pawòl sa yo, se pa t' ti traka anvan apòt yo te resi rive anpeche moun yo fè ofrann bèt yo.
And even with these words, it was hard for them to keep the people from making an offering to them.
19 Kèk jwif soti Antiòch (ki nan peyi Pisidi) ak Ikoniòm. Yo pran tèt foul la, yo kalonnen Pòl kout wòch pou yo touye li. Apre sa, yo trennen l' mete andeyò lavil la, yo te kwè l' te mouri.
But some Jews came to that place from Antioch and Iconium, and got control over the people; and after stoning Paul, they had him pulled out of the town, taking him for dead.
20 Men, lè disip yo vin sanble bò kote l', li leve kanpe, epi l' tounen antre nan lavil la. Nan denmen, li pati avèk Banabas, y' al lavil Dèb.
But when the disciples came round him, he got up and went into the town: and the day after he went away with Barnabas to Derbe.
21 Pòl ak Banabas anonse bon nouvèl la nan lavil Dèb. Yo te fè anpil disip la. Apre sa, yo tounen, yo pase List, Ikoniòm, Antiòch (ki nan peyi Pisidi).
And having made a number of disciples through the preaching of the good news in that town, they went back to Lystra and Iconium and Antioch,
22 Yo t'ap bay disip yo fòs, yo t'ap ankouraje yo pou yo rete fèm nan konfyans yo. Yo t'ap di yo: Nou gen pou nou soufri anpil anvan pou n' antre nan peyi kote Bondye wa a.
Making strong the souls of the disciples, saying to them that they were to keep the faith, and that we have to go through troubles of all sorts to come into the kingdom of God.
23 Nan chak legliz, yo chwazi kèk chèf fanmi. Yo fè jèn, yo lapriyè. Apre sa, yo renmèt yo nan men Bondye, Seyè ki te gen tout konfyans yo a.
And when they had made selection of some to be rulers in every church, and had given themselves to prayer and kept themselves from food, they put them into the care of the Lord in whom they had faith.
24 Yo travèse peyi Pisidi, yo rive nan Panfili.
And they went through Pisidia and came to Pamphylia.
25 Yo anonse pawòl Bondye a lavil Pèj. Apre sa, yo desann Atali.
And, after preaching the word in Perga, they went down to Attalia;
26 Antan yo la, yo pran batiman pou Antiòch. Se la nan menm Antiòch sa a yo te renmèt yo nan men Bondye ki te ba yo favè l' pou yo te al fè tout travay yo sot fè a.
And from there they went by ship to Antioch, where they had been handed over to the grace of God for the work which they had not done.
27 Lè yo rive Antiòch, yo reyini legliz la, yo rakonte tou sa Bondye te ba yo pouvwa fè pou li, ki jan li te louvri pòt pou moun ki pa jwif yo kapab kwè tou.
And when they came there, and had got the church together, they gave them an account of all the things which God had done through them, and how he had made open a door of faith to the Gentiles.
28 Apre sa, yo rete lontan avèk disip Antiòch yo.
And they were with the disciples there for a long time.
