Travay 18
1 Apre sa, Pòl pati, li kite lavil Atèn, li ale lavil Korent.
After these things Paul departed from Athens, and came to Corinth.
2 Rive la, li kontre yon jwif yo te rele Akilas, moun peyi Pon, ki te fèk rive soti Itali ansanm ak madanm li yo te rele Prisil, apre Seza Klòd te bay lòd pou tout jwif te kite lavil Wòm. Pòl al wè yo,
He found a certain Jew named Aquila, a man of Pontus by race, who had recently come from Italy, with his wife Priscilla, because Claudius had commanded all the Jews to depart from Rome. He came to them,
3 epi l' rete lakay yo. Li t'ap travay ansanm ak yo paske li te gen menm metye ak yo: li te konn fè tant an twal.
and because he practiced the same trade, he lived with them and worked, for by trade they were tent makers.
4 Chak jou repo, Pòl te pran lapawòl nan sinagòg la, li t'ap chache pran tèt anpil jwif ak anpil moun peyi Lagrès.
He reasoned in the synagogue every Sabbath, and persuaded Jews and Greeks.
5 Men, lè Silas ak Timote rive soti Masedwan, Pòl te bay tout tan l' pou travay predikasyon an sèlman: li t'ap bay jwif yo tout kalite prèv pou moutre yo Jezi se Kris yo t'ap tann lan.
But when Silas and Timothy came down from Macedonia, Paul was compelled by the word, testifying to the Jews that Jesus was the Christ.
6 Men, jwif yo pran kenbe tèt avèk li, yo t'ap joure l'. Lè l' wè sa, li souke pousyè ki te sou rad li, epi l' di yo: Si nou peri, se nou ki chache sa. Se p'ap fòt mwen. Depi koulye a m'ap vire kò m' bò kot moun ki pa jwif yo.
When they opposed him and blasphemed, he shook out his clothing and said to them, "Your blood be on your own heads. I am clean. From now on, I will go to the non-Jewish people."
7 Konsa li soti, li ale lakay Titris Jistis. Se te yon nonm ki pa t' jwif men ki te konvèti nan relijyon jwif yo. Kay li te tou kole ak sinagòg la.
He departed there, and went into the house of a certain man named Titius Justus, one who worshiped God, whose house was next door to the synagogue.
8 Krispis, chèf sinagòg la, te mete konfyans li nan Seyè a ansanm ak tout fanmi li. Anpil lòt moun Korent te kwè tou lè yo te tande sa Pòl t'ap di yo, epi yo te resevwa batèm.
Crispus, the ruler of the synagogue, believed in the Lord with all his house. Many of the Corinthians, when they heard, believed and were baptized.
9 Yon jou lannwit, Pòl fè yon vizyon. Li wè Seyè a ki di li: Ou pa bezwen pè, se pou ou kontinye pale. Pa fèmen bouch ou.
The Lord said to Paul in the night by a vision, "Do not be afraid, but speak and do not be silent;
10 Mwen la avèk ou. Pesonn p'ap ka mete men sou ou pou fè ou anyen. Gen anpil moun ki pou mwen nan lavil la.
for I am with you, and no one will attack you to harm you, for I have many people in this city."
11 Konsa, Pòl pase dizwit mwa lavil Korent, li t'ap moutre moun yo pawòl Bondye a.
He lived there a year and six months, teaching the word of God among them.
12 Pandan Galyon te gouvènè nan peyi Lakayi, jwif yo mete tèt ansanm, yo leve dèyè Pòl. Yo mennen l' devan tribinal la,
But when Gallio was proconsul of Achaia, the Jews with one accord rose up against Paul and brought him before the judgment seat,
13 epi yo di: Nonm sa a ap chache pran tèt moun pou fè yo sèvi Bondye yon jan ki kont lalwa.
saying, "This one persuades people to worship God contrary to the law."
14 Pòl tapral pale, lè Galyon di jwif yo konsa: Nou menm jwif, koute: si se te yon krim osinon yon movezak li te fè, mwen ta pèdi tan m' koute nou.
But when Paul was about to open his mouth, Gallio said to the Jews, "If indeed it were a matter of wrong or of wicked crime, you Jews, it would be reasonable that I should bear with you;
15 Men, si se yon bann diskisyon sou mo, sou non, sou lalwa jwif yo, sa se zafè ki gade nou. Mwen p'ap antre nan bagay konsa pou m' mete rezon.
but if they are questions about words and names and your own law, look to it yourselves. For I do not want to be a judge of these matters."
16 Epi li mete tout moun deyò nan tribinal la.
He drove them from the judgment seat.
17 Lè sa a, jwif yo mete men sou Sostèn, chèf sinagòg la, yo bat li byen bat devan tribinal la. Men, Galyon pa okipe yo menm.
Then they all took hold of Sosthenes, the ruler of the synagogue, and beat him before the judgment seat. But none of these things were of concern to Gallio.
18 Pòl rete kèk tan ankò lavil Korent. Apre sa, li kite frè yo, li anbake sou yon batiman pou peyi Siri ansanm ak Prisil ak Akilas. Anvan sa, li fè kale tèt li nan Sankre paske li te fè yon ve.
Paul, having stayed after this many more days, took his leave of the brothers, and sailed from there for Syria, together with Priscilla and Aquila. He shaved his head in Cenchreae, for he had a vow.
19 Rive yo rive lavil Efèz, Pòl kite Prisil ak Akilas, li al nan sinagòg la, li pran diskite ak jwif yo.
They came to Ephesus, and he left them there; but he himself entered into the synagogue, and reasoned with the Jews.
20 Yo mande l' pou l' rete pi lontan ak yo, men li pa t' vle.
When they asked him to stay a longer time, he declined;
21 Anvan l' kite yo, li di yo: M'a tounen vin wè nou, si Bondye vle. Epi li moute yon batiman, li kite Efèz.
but taking his leave of them, and saying, "I will return again to you if God wills," he set sail from Ephesus.
22 Lè l' debake lavil Sezare, li moute Jerizalèm, li pase di legliz la bonjou. Apre sa, li al Antiòch.
When he had landed at Caesarea, he went up and greeted the church, and went down to Antioch.
23 Li pase kèk tan la, epi li pati ankò. Li pase nan tout peyi Galasi ak peyi Friji, li t'ap fòtifye tout disip yo nan konfyans yo nan Bondye.
Having spent some time there, he departed, and went through the region of Galatia, and Phrygia, in order, strengthening all the disciples.
24 Yon jwif yo te rele Apolòs rive lavil Efèz. Se te moun lavil Aleksandri. Nonm sa a te konn pale byen, li te konn tou sa ki te ekri nan Liv yo.
Now a certain Jew named Apollos, an Alexandrian by race, an eloquent man, came to Ephesus. He was mighty in the Scriptures.
25 Yo te moutre l' chemen Bondye a. Depi lè sa a, li te cho pou l' te anonse pawòl la. San dezanpare li t'ap moutre moun yo tou sa li te konnen sou Jezi yon jan ki konfòm ak verite a. Men, se batèm Jan an ase li te konnen.
This man had been instructed in the way of the Lord; and being fervent in spirit, he spoke and taught accurately the things concerning Jesus, although he knew only the baptism of John.
26 Li t'ap pale avèk fòs konviksyon nan sinagòg la. Lè Prisil ak Akilas tande l', yo pran l' avèk yo epi yo fin moutre li chemen Bondye a yon jan ki pi korèk.
He began to speak boldly in the synagogue. But when Priscilla and Aquila heard him, they took him aside, and explained to him the way of God more accurately.
27 Apre sa, Apolòs fè lide ale Lakayi. Frè yo te ankouraje li. Yo ekri yon lèt voye bay disip yo ki nan peyi sa a pou yo te byen resevwa Apolòs. Lè li rive Lakayi, li bay moun Bondye te fè favè kwè yo yon gwo konkou.
When he had determined to pass over into Achaia, the brothers encouraged him, and wrote to the disciples to receive him. When he had come, he greatly helped those who had believed through grace;
28 Se avèk gwo konviksyon devan tout moun li t'ap moutre jwif yo ki jan yo te nan lerè: li pran sa ki ekri nan Liv yo a, li t'ap ba yo prèv se Jezi ki Kris la.
for he powerfully refuted the Jews, publicly showing by the Scriptures that Jesus was the Christ.
