Travay 16
1 Apre sa, Pòl ale lavil Dèb epi l' rive lavil List. Nan List te gen yon disip yo rele Timote. Manman l' te yon jwif ki te kwè nan Jezi tou, men papa l' te yon moun peyi Lagrès.
Then he came to Derbe and Lystra: and behold there was a certain disciple there, named Timothy, the son of a believing Jewess, but of a Grecian father.
2 Frè ki t'ap viv nan List ak Ikoniòm yo te bay bon rapò pou Timote.
Who was well spoken of by the brethren at Lystra and Iconium:
3 Pòl te vle mennen l' avèk li. Li pran l', li sikonsi l' paske tout jwif ki te nan peyi a te konnen papa Timote te grèk.
wherefore Paul was desirous that he should go forth with him, and took and circumcised him because of the Jews that were in those parts; for they all knew that his father was a Greek.
4 Nan tout lavil kote yo pase yo te mete disip yo an konesans desizyon apòt yo ak ansyen yo te pran lavil Jerizalèm, yo t'ap mande yo pou yo te soumèt devan desizyon an.
And as they passed through the cities, they delivered to them the decrees that had been made by the apostles and elders at Jerusalem.
5 Tout legliz yo t'ap vin pi fèm nan lafwa, chak jou yo t'ap gen plis moun toujou.
And so the churches were established in the faith, and increased in number daily.
6 Sentespri pa t' kite Pòl ak Timote al anonse pawòl Bondye a nan pwovens Lazi a. Se sak fè yo te pase nan zòn Friji ak zòn Galasi san rete.
And when they had passed through Phrygia and Galatia, being forbidden by the holy Spirit to preach the word in Asia, they came to Mysia, and endeavoured to go to Bithynia:
7 Lè yo rive toupre lavil Mizi, yo te vle ale Bitini, men Lespri Jezi a pa t' pèmèt yo fè sa.
but the Spirit suffered them not.
8 Yo pase nan Mizi san rete, yo desann lavil Twoas.
So they passed by Mysia, and came down to Troas.
9 Nan mitan lannwit, Pòl fè yon vizyon: li wè yon nonm ki te soti peyi Masedwan kanpe devan l' ki t'ap di li: Tanpri, vin nan peyi Masedwan, vin pote nou sekou.
And Paul saw a vision in the night, There stood a certain man of Macedonia, intreating him and saying, Come over into Macedonia and help us.
10 Apre Pòl te fè vizyon sa a, lamenm nou chache pou n' ale peyi Masedwan. Nou te sèten se Bondye menm ki te rele nou pou n' te al pote bon nouvèl la bay moun ki nan peyi sa a.
And as soon as he had seen the vision, immediately we endeavoured to depart into Macedonia, concluding that the Lord called us to preach the gospel to them.
11 Nou pran batiman lavil Twoas, nou fè vwal tou dwat pou lil Samotras. Apre yon jou, nou rive lavil Neapolis.
Therefore we set sail from Troas, and came in a direct course to Samothracia, and the day following to Neapolis;
12 Antan nou la, n' al lavil Filip, premye lavil nan distrik Masedwan lan: Se te yonn nan koloni sou zòd lavil Wòm yo. Nou pase plizyè jou nan lavil sa a.
and from thence to Philippi, which is the chief city of that part of Macedonia, and a Roman colony. And we staid some time in this city.
13 Jou repo a, nou soti, n' al lòt bò pòtay lavil la bò larivyè a. Nou t'ap chache kote jwif yo te konn lapriyè a. Nou chita, nou t'ap pale ak fanm ki te sanble la yo.
And on the sabbath-day we went out of the city to a river-side, where there used to be prayer: and we sat down and preached to the women that resorted thither.
14 Yonn ladan yo te rele Lidi. Se te moun lavil Tiyati, yon machann bèl twal koulè wouj yo vann byen chè a. Li te konvèti nan relijyon jwif yo. Li t'ap koute nou. Seyè a louvri lespri l' pou l' te swiv tou sa Pòl t'ap di.
And a certain woman named Lydia, a purple-seller of the city of Thyatira, who worshipped God, heard us: whose heart the Lord opened to attend to the things that were spoken by Paul.
15 Li resevwa batèm, li menm ansanm ak tout fanmi li. Apre sa, li envite nou vin lakay li. Li di nou: Se pou n' vini, se pou n' fè ladesant lakay mwen, si nou kwè mwen mete konfyans mwen tout bon nan Seyè a. Se konsa li fòse nou rete lakay li.
And when she was baptized and her family, she requested us, saying, If ye have judged me to be faithful to the Lord, come into my house, and lodge there. And she constrained us.
16 Yon jou nou tapral kote yo konn lapriyè a, nou kontre ak yon tifi. Se te yon sèvant, li te gen yon move lespri sou li ki te fè l' konn pase kat pou moun. Lè konsa tifi a te fè mèt li yo fè anpil lajan.
Now as we were going to the place of prayer, there met us a young woman that had a spirit of divination, who brought her masters much gain by soothsaying.
17 Li tanmen swiv Pòl ak nou, li t'ap rele byen fò: Mesye sa yo se sèvitè Bondye ki anwo nan syèl la. Y'ap fè nou konnen chemen pou n' pran pou n' ka jwenn delivrans.
She following Paul and us, cried out, saying, These men are the servants of the most high God, who shew us the way of salvation.
18 Li t'ap fè sa pandan plizyè jou. Pòl menm te bouke ak fi a. Li vire, li di lespri a: Nan non Jezikri, mwen ba ou lòd, soti sou fi a. Menm lè a, lespri a soti sou li.
And this she did for many days. But Paul being grieved, turned and said to the spirit, I command thee in the name of Jesus Christ to come out of her.
19 Lè mèt sèvant lan wè yo te pèdi tout espwa fè lajan ak tifi a, yo mete men sou Pòl ak Silas, yo trennen yo sou plas piblik la devan otorite yo.
And he came out that instant. And when her masters saw, that the hope of their gain was gone, they seized on Paul and Silas, and dragged them into the court to the magistrates.
20 Yo mennen yo devan chèf lavil Wòm yo, epi yo di: Mesye sa yo ap fè dezòd nan lavil nou an. Se jwif yo ye.
And when they brought them to the governors, they said, These men cause great disturbance in our city, for they are Jews, and teach customs,
21 Y'ap plede moutre moun yo yon bann bagay lalwa nou an pa pèmèt. Nou menm, se moun lavil Wòm nou ye, nou pa ka asepte fè bagay sa yo.
which it is not lawful for us to receive, nor practise, who are Romans.
22 Foul moun yo te moute kont yo tou. Chèf women yo fè rache rad ki te sou Pòl ak Silas, epi yo bay lòd pou bat yo ak fwèt.
And the populace rose up together against them: and the officers stripped off their clothes, and ordered them to be scourged.
23 Apre yo fin bat yo byen bat, yo mete yo nan prizon. Yo bay chèf prizon an lòd pou veye mesye yo byen.
And when they had given them many stripes, they cast them into prison, charging the jailor to keep them safely.
24 Lè l' resevwa lòd sa a, chèf prizon an mete yo nan kacho ki jouk nan fon prizon an. Epi l' mete pye yo nan sèp.
Who having received such a charge, thrust them into the inner prison and fastened their feet in the stocks.
25 Vè menwi konsa, Pòl ak Silas t'ap lapriyè, yo t'ap chante fè lwanj pou Bondye. Lòt prizonye yo menm t'ap koute.
Now in the middle of the night Paul and Silas were praying and singing praises to God, and the prisoners heard them.
26 Epi, yo rete konsa, tè a pran tranble byen fò, li souke prizon an jouk nan fondasyon li. Menm lè a, tout pòt prizon yo louvri, chenn tout prizonye yo kase.
And on a sudden there was a great earthquake, so that the foundations of the prison were shaken; and immediately all the doors were opened, and every one's bonds were loosed.
27 Chèf prizon an leve. Lè l' wè tout pòt prizon yo louvri, li rale nepe l', li tapral touye tèt li paske li te kwè prizonye yo te sove.
The jailor waking, and seeing the prison-doors open, drew his sword and was going to kill himself, thinking that the prisoners were fled.
28 Men, Pòl kriye byen fò: Pa fè tèt ou mal. Nou tout la.
But Paul cried with a loud voice, saying, Do thyself no harm: for we are all here.
29 Lè chèf prizon tande sa, li mande yon chandèl, li kouri nan kacho a. Li lage kò l' atè nan pye Pòl ak Silas. Li t'ap tranble kou yon fèy bwa tèlman li te pè.
Then he called for lights, and sprang in, and being in a tremor fell down before Paul and Silas:
30 Apre sa, li fè yo soti, li mande yo: Mesye, kisa m' dwe fè pou m' delivre?
and bringing them out, he said, Sirs, what must I do to be saved?
31 Yo reponn li: Mete konfyans ou nan Seyè Jezi, epi wava delivre, ou menm ansanm ak tout fanmi ou.
And they said, Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved, and thine house.
32 Epi yo fè l' konnen pawòl Seyè a, limenm ansanm ak tout moun ki te lakay li.
And they spake unto him the word of the Lord, and to all in his family.
33 Menm lè a, nan mitan lannwit lan, li pran yo, li mete renmèd sou tout kote yo te blese. Lèfini, Pòl ak Silas batize l' ansanm ak tout fanmi li.
And he took them at that very time of the night, and bathed their stripes: and was baptized, he and all his immediately after.
34 Chèf prizon an fè yo moute lakay li, li ba yo manje. Nonm lan te kontan anpil ansanm ak tout fanmi l' paske koulye a yo te kwè nan Bondye.
And he brought them into his house, and spread a table for them, and rejoiced, believing in God with all his household.
35 Lè solèy fin leve, chèf moun lavil Wòm yo voye gad di chèf prizon an: Lage mesye yo.
And when it was the day the governors sent the serjeants, saying, Let those men go.
36 Chèf prizon an ale di Pòl: Chèf yo voye di pou yo lage nou. Nou mèt soti koulye a. Ale ak kè poze.
And the jailor told these words to Paul, saying, the governors have sent orders, that you should be discharged; now therefore depart, and go in peace.
37 Men, Pòl di gad yo konsa: Gade non! Se sitwayen lavil Wòm nou ye wi. Yo bat nou devan tout moun san yo pa jije nou jan yo te dwe fè l' la. Apre sa, yo mete nou nan prizon. Koulye a yo vle lage nou an kachèt. Non, nou pa nan sa. Se chèf moun lavil Wòm yo menm ki pou vin mete nou deyò.
But Paul said unto them, They have publicly beaten us, uncondemned, and Romans, and cast us into prison, and do they now turn us out privately? No verily, let them come themselves and fetch us out.
38 Gad yo al rapòte pawòl sa yo bay chèf yo. Lè chèf yo tande se sitwayen lavil Wòm mesye yo te ye, yo soti pè.
And the serjeants reported these words to the governors: and they were afraid when they heard that they were Romans.
39 Yo vin eskize yo bò kote apòt yo, yo lage yo. Lèfini yo mande yo pou kite lavil la.
And they came and intreated them, and when they had brought them out, they desired them to leave the city.
40 Lè apòt yo soti nan prizon an, yo antre lakay Lidi. Yo wè frè yo, yo ba yo kèk pawòl ankourajman, epi yo pati, y' ale.
And when they were come out of the prison, they went into the house of Lydia: and seeing the brethren, they comforted them, and departed.
