Travay 21
1 Apre nou fin kite yo, nou pati sou batiman an. Nou fè k'ap tou dwat sou Kòs. Yon jou apre, nou te rive Wòd. Soti la, n' ale Patara.
When we had departed from them and had set sail, we came with a straight course to Cos, and the next day to Rhodes, and from there to Patara.
2 La, nou jwenn yon batiman ki tapral peyi Finisi, nou moute abò l' epi nou pati.
Having found a ship crossing over to Phoenicia, we went aboard and set sail.
3 Nou rive toupre lil Chip. Antan nou nan batiman an, nou te ka wè l' toupre konsa. Men, nou pase anba l' sou bò dwat li, nou fè k'ap pou peyi Siri. Nou fè tè lavil Tir. Batiman an te gen yon pakèt chay pou l' te debake la.
When we had come in sight of Cyprus, leaving it on the left hand, we sailed to Syria and landed at Tyre, for the ship was there to unload her cargo.
4 Nou jwenn kèk disip, nou pase sèt jou avèk yo. Lespri Bondye a te avèti yo pou yo te di Pòl pa moute Jerizalèm.
Having found disciples, we stayed there seven days. These said to Paul through the Spirit that he should not go up to Jerusalem.
5 Lè sèt jou yo te pase, nou pati pou n' al fè wout nou. Tout disip yo, madanm yo ak tout pitit yo te kondi nou jouk andeyò lavil la. Nou tout nou mete ajenou sou rivaj la, nou lapriyè.
When those days were over, we departed and went on our journey. They all, with wives and children, brought us on our way until we were out of the city. Kneeling down on the beach, we prayed.
6 Apre sa, nou yonn di lòt orevwa. Nou moute abò, yo menm yo tounen lakay yo.
After saying goodbye to each other, we went on board the ship, and they returned home again.
7 Nou soti lavil Tir nou rive lavil Tolemayis, se la nou fini vwayaj sou lanmè a. N' al di frè ki te la yo bonjou, nou pase yon jou avèk yo.
When we had finished the voyage from Tyre, we arrived at Ptolemais. We greeted the brothers and stayed with them one day.
8 Nan denmen, nou pati ankò, nou rive lavil Sezare. Nou antre lakay Filip, evanjelis la, nou fè ladesant la. Se te yonn nan sèt mesye yo te chwazi Jerizalèm yo.
On the next day, we who were Paul’s companions departed and came to Caesarea. We entered into the house of Philip the evangelist, who was one of the seven, and stayed with him.
9 Li te gen kat pitit fi ki pa t' marye, yo t'ap bay mesaj yo te resevwa nan men Bondye.
Now this man had four virgin daughters who prophesied.
10 Te gen kèk jou depi nou te la lè yon pwofèt yo rele Agabis desann soti nan Jide.
As we stayed there some days, a certain prophet named Agabus came down from Judea.
11 Li vin jwenn nou. Li pran sentiwon ki te nan ren Pòl la, li mare de pye pa l' ak de men pa l' yo, epi li di: Men sa Sentespri deklare: Se konsa jwif Jerizalèm yo pral mare mèt sentiwon sa a; apre sa, y'ap lage l' nan men moun lòt nasyon yo.
Coming to us and taking Paul’s belt, he bound his own feet and hands, and said, “The Holy Spirit says: ‘So the Judeans at Jerusalem will bind the man who owns this belt, and will deliver him into the hands of the Gentiles.’”
12 Lè nou tande sa, nou menm ansanm ak tout moun Sezare yo t'ap di Pòl konsa: Tanpri souple, pa moute Jerizalèm.
When we heard these things, both we and the people of that place begged him not to go up to Jerusalem.
13 Men, li reponn nou: Poukisa pou n'ap kriye konsa, pou n'ap chache kraze kouraj mwen konsa? Mwen menm, se pa pare sèlman mwen pare pou m' kite yo mare mwen. Menm si mouri vini, m'ap mouri pou Seyè Jezi nan Jerizalèm.
Then Paul answered, “What are you doing, weeping and breaking my heart? For I am ready not only to be bound, but also to die at Jerusalem for the name of the Lord Yeshua.”
14 Lè nou wè nou pa t' kapab chanje lide l', nou pa pèsiste sou sa anko. Nou di: Sa Bondye vle a, se sa k'ap fèt.
When he would not be persuaded, we ceased, saying, “The Lord’s will be done.”
15 Apre nou fin pase kèk jou la, nou ranje zafè nou, nou pati pou Jerizalèm.
After these days we took up our baggage and went up to Jerusalem.
16 Te gen kèk nan disip lavil Sezare yo ki te al ansanm avèk nou tou. Yo mennen nou lakay Nazon, moun lil Chip, ki te yon disip depi lontan. Se la nou fè ladesant.
Some of the disciples from Caesarea also went with us, bringing one Mnason of Cyprus, an early disciple, with whom we would stay.
17 Lè nou rive Jerizalèm, frè yo resevwa nou ak kè kontan.
When we had come to Jerusalem, the brothers received us gladly.
18 Nan denmen, Pòl ale lakay Jak ansanm ak nou. Tout chèf reskonsab legliz yo te reyini la.
The day following, Paul went in with us to Jacob; and all the elders were present.
19 Pòl di yo bonjou, apre sa li tanmen rakonte yo an detay tou sa Bondye te fè ak travay li nan mitan moun ki pa jwif yo.
When he had greeted them, he reported one by one the things which God had worked amongst the Gentiles through his ministry.
20 Lè yo fin tande l', yo tout pran fè lwanj Bondye. Apre sa yo di Pòl: Frè nou, ou wè tout kantite jwif ki kwè nan Jezi. Malgre sa, yo tout byen zele pou lalwa a toujou.
They, when they heard it, glorified God. They said to him, “You see, brother, how many thousands there are amongst the Judeans of those who have believed, and they are all zealous for the Torah.
21 Yo vin di yo ki jan ou menm Pòl, w'ap moutre tout jwif k'ap viv nan mitan lòt nasyon yo pou yo kite Lalwa Moyiz la tonbe. W'ap di yo pa sikonsi pitit yo, ni yo pa bezwen swiv koutim jwif yo.
They have been informed about you, that you teach all the Jews who are amongst the Gentiles to forsake Moses, telling them not to circumcise their children and not to walk after the customs.
22 Sa pou n' fè la a menm? Paske, talè konsa yo pral konnen ou rive isit la.
What then? The assembly must certainly meet, for they will hear that you have come.
23 Ou pral fè sa nou pral di ou la a: Gen kat moun ki te fè yon ve.
Therefore do what we tell you. We have four men who have taken a vow.
24 Ou pral avèk yo, wa patisipe ansanm ak yo nan tout sèvis y'ap fè pou mete tèt yo nan kondisyon pou sèvi Bondye ankò. Wa fè tout depans pou yo, pou yo kapab fè kale tèt yo. Konsa, tout moun va konnen tou sa yo t'ap di sou ou a pa t' vre. Okontrè, ou menm pou tèt pa ou, ou toujou ap obeyi Lalwa Moyiz la.
Take them and purify yourself with them, and pay their expenses for them, that they may shave their heads. Then all will know that there is no truth in the things that they have been informed about you, but that you yourself also walk keeping the Torah.
25 Men, pou moun ki pa jwif yo epi ki kwè nan Jezi koulye a, nou deja ekri yo, nou voye di yo sa n' te deside: piga yo manje vyann bèt ki te ofri pou touye bay zidòl, piga yo manje san, ni vyann bèt ki mouri toufe. Egzante tout dezòd lachè.
But concerning the Gentiles who believe, we have written our decision that they should observe no such thing, except that they should keep themselves from food offered to idols, from blood, from strangled things, and from sexual immorality.”
26 Lè sa a, Pòl pran kat mesye yo, epi nan denmen li patisipe avèk yo nan sèvis pou mete yo nan kondisyon pou sèvi Bondye ankò. Apre sa, li al nan tanp lan, li fè konnen ki jou sèvis la va fini, kilè pou yo ofri bèt pou yo touye pou yo chak la.
Then Paul took the men, and the next day purified himself and went with them into the temple, declaring the fulfilment of the days of purification, until the offering was offered for every one of them.
27 Sèt jou yo te prèt pou fini lè jwif ki soti nan pwovens Lazi yo wè Pòl nan tanp lan. Yo moute tèt foul moun yo, yo mete men sou li.
When the seven days were almost completed, the Jews from Asia, when they saw him in the temple, stirred up all the multitude and laid hands on him,
28 Yo t'ap rele: Moun ras Izrayèl yo, pote nou konkou! Men nonm k'ap plede mache toupatou pale mal ak tout moun sou do pèp Izrayèl la, sou do Lalwa Moyiz la, sou do tanp sa a. Koulye a, li penmèt li fè moun ki pa jwif antre nan tanp lan, l'ap lakòz kote nou mete apa pou Bondye a pa nan kondisyon pou fè sèvis Bondye.
crying out, “Men of Israel, help! This is the man who teaches all men everywhere against the people, and the Torah, and this place. Moreover, he also brought Greeks into the temple and has defiled this holy place!”
29 (Yo t'ap di sa, paske yo te wè Twofim, moun lavil Efèz, ansanm ak Pòl nan lavil la. Yo te konprann Pòl te fè l' antre nan tanp lan tou.)
For they had seen Trophimus the Ephesian, with him in the city, and they supposed that Paul had brought him into the temple.
30 Tout lavil la te tèt anba, moun kouri soti toupatou. Yo mete men sou Pòl. Yo trennen l' deyò, epi lamenm yo fèmen tout pòt tanp lan.
All the city was moved and the people ran together. They seized Paul and dragged him out of the temple. Immediately the doors were shut.
31 Yo t'ap chache yon jan pou touye Pòl, lè nouvèl la rive nan zòrèy kòmandan batayon women an. Yo te vin di l' ki jan tout lavil la te tèt anba.
As they were trying to kill him, news came up to the commanding officer of the regiment that all Jerusalem was in an uproar.
32 Lamenm li pran kèk ofisye ak kèk sòlda avèk li, li kouri desann bò kote foul moun yo. Yo menm menm, lè yo wè kòmandan an ak sòlda yo yo sispann bat Pòl.
Immediately he took soldiers and centurions and ran down to them. They, when they saw the chief captain and the soldiers, stopped beating Paul.
33 Kòmandan an pwoche bò kot Pòl, li fè yo arete l', li bay lòd pou yo mare l' ak de chenn. Lèfini, li mande ki moun li te ye, kisa l' te fè.
Then the commanding officer came near, arrested him, commanded him to be bound with two chains, and enquired who he was and what he had done.
34 Men, nan foul moun yo, yon pati t'ap rele yon bagay, yon lòt pati t'ap rele yon lòt bagay. Sitèlman yo t'ap fè dezòd, kòmandan an pa t' kapab fin konprann sa yo t'ap di a. Lè l' wè sa, li bay lòd pou yo mennen Pòl nan kazèn lan.
Some shouted one thing and some another, amongst the crowd. When he couldn’t find out the truth because of the noise, he commanded him to be brought into the barracks.
35 Lè sòlda yo rive bò eskalye a avèk Pòl, yo te blije leve l' anlè pou yo te sa pase avè l', sitèlman moun yo te ankòlè.
When he came to the stairs, he was carried by the soldiers because of the violence of the crowd;
36 Yo tout yo t'ap swiv li, yo t'ap rele: Touye li.
for the multitude of the people followed after, crying out, “Away with him!”
37 Yo tapral fè Pòl antre nan kazèn lan, lè Pòl di kòmandan an: Eske mwen ka di ou kichòy? Kòmandan an mande li: Kouman? Apa ou pale grèk?
As Paul was about to be brought into the barracks, he asked the commanding officer, “May I speak to you?” He said, “Do you know Greek?
38 Si se sa, se pa ou menm ki ejipsyen an, nonm ki te kòmanse yon revolisyon tou lòt jou a epi ki te mennen katmil (4.000) bandi avè l' nan dezè a?
Aren’t you then the Egyptian who before these days stirred up to sedition and led out into the wilderness the four thousand men of the Assassins?”
39 Pòl reponn li: Se jwif mwen ye. Mwen fèt lavil Tas nan peyi Silisi. Ou wè se sitwayen yon gwo lavil mwen ye. Tanpri, kite m' pale ak pèp la.
But Paul said, “I am a Jew from Tarsus in Cilicia, a citizen of no insignificant city. I beg you, allow me to speak to the people.”
40 Kòmandan an ba l' pèmisyon. Lè sa a, Pòl kanpe sou eskalye a, li fè pèp la yon siy avèk men li. Lè yo sispann fè bri, Pòl pale ak yo nan lang ebre. Li di yo konsa:
When he had given him permission, Paul, standing on the stairs, beckoned with his hand to the people. When there was a great silence, he spoke to them in the Hebrew language, saying,
