Travay 6

1 Lè sa a, te vin gen anpil anpil disip. Ladan yo, jwif ki te fèt nan peyi etranje epi ki te pale lang grèk la vin gen kont ak jwif peyi a. Yo t'ap plenyen dèske vèv yo pa t' jwenn anyen nan separe manje yo t'ap fè chak jou a.

And in those dayes, as the nomber of ye disciples grewe, there arose a murmuring of the Grecians towards ye Hebrewes, because their widowes were neglected in the dayly ministring.

2 Douz apòt yo sanble tout disip yo, yo di: Li pa ta bon pou n' neglije predikasyon pawòl Bondye a pou n' al okipe sèvis manje a.

Then the twelue called the multitude of the disciples together, and sayd, It is not meete that we should leaue the worde of God to serue the tables.

3 Se pou sa, frè m' yo, chwazi sèt gason pami nou ki gen bon repitasyon, ki anba pouvwa Sentespri, ki gen kont bon konprann sou yo. N'a ba yo fè sèvis sa a.

Wherefore brethren, looke ye out among you seuen men of honest report, and full of the holy Ghost, and of wisedome, which we may appoint to this busines.

4 Konsa nou menm, n'a toujou bay tout tan nou pou lapriyè, ak pou fè moun konnen pawòl Bondye a.

And we will giue our selues continually to prayer, and to the ministration of the worde.

5 Tout gwoup la te dakò avèk lide sa a. Yo chwazi Etyèn, yon nonm ki te gen anpil konfyans nan Bondye epi ki te anba pouvwa Sentespri, Filip, Pwokò, Nikanò, Timon, Pamenas ak Nikola, yon nonm lavil Antiòch ki te konvèti nan relijyon jwif yo.

And the saying pleased the whole multitude: and they chose Steuen a man full of fayth and of the holy Ghost, and Philippe, and Prochorus, and Nicanor, and Timon, and Parmenas, and Nicolas a Proselyte of Antiochia,

6 Yo mennen yo bay apòt yo. Apòt yo lapriyè epi yo mete men sou tèt yo.

Which they set before the Apostles: and they prayed, and layed their hands on them.

7 Pawòl Bondye a t'ap gaye. Disip yo t'ap vin pi plis toujou nan Jerizalèm. Menm pami prèt yo, te gen anpil ki te asepte kwè pawòl la.

And the worde of God increased, and the nomber of the disciples was multipled in Hierusalem greatly, and a great company of the Priests were obedient to the faith.

8 Etyèn te yon nonm Bondye te beni anpil, li te gen anpil pouvwa. Li t'ap fè gwo bèl bagay ak mirak nan mitan pèp la.

Now Steuen full of faith and power, did great wonders and miracles among the people.

9 Se konsa kèk moun leve dèyè li. Pami yo te gen manm sinagòg yo rele sinagòg Ansyen Esklav yo. (Se jwif lavil Sirèn ak lavil Aleksandri ki te ladan l'.) Yo menm ansanm ak lòt jwif ki soti Silisi ak Lazi yo pran diskite ak Etyèn.

Then there arose certaine of the Synagogue, which are called Libertines, and Cyrenians, and of Alexandria, and of them of Cilicia, and of Asia, and disputed with Steuen.

10 Men, yo pa t' kapab kenbe tèt avèk li: Etyèn t'ap pale avèk bon konprann Sentespri te ba li.

But they were not able to resist the wisdome, and the Spirit by the which he spake.

11 Lè yo wè sa, yo peye kèk moun pou di: Nou tande l' ap pale mal sou Moyiz ak sou Bondye.

Then they suborned men, which saide, We haue heard him speake blasphemous wordes against Moses, and God.

12 Se konsa, yo moute tèt pèp la ansanm ak chèf fanmi yo ak dirèktè lalwa yo. Y' al kot Etyèn, yo mete men sou li, yo trennen l' devan Gran Konsèy la.

Thus they mooued the people and the Elders, and the Scribes: and running vpon him, caught him, and brought him to the Councill,

13 Yo mennen lòt moun tou pou fè manti sou li, yo t'ap di: Nonm sa a pa sispann pale mal sou tanp Bondye a ak sou lalwa Moyiz la.

And set forth false witnesses, which sayd, This man ceasseth not to speake blasphemous wordes against this holy place, and the Law.

14 Nou tande l' di konsa: Jezi, moun Nazarèt la, gen pou kraze tanp lan, l'ap chanje tout koutim Moyiz te kite pou nou yo.

For we haue heard him say, that this Iesus of Nazareth shall destroy this place, and shall change the ordinances, which Moses gaue vs.

15 Tout moun ki te chita nan sal reyinyon Gran Konsèy la te gen je yo fikse sou Etyèn. Yo te wè figi l' te sanble ak figi yon zanj Bondye.

And as all that sate in the Councill, looked stedfastly on him, they saw his face as it had bene the face of an Angel.
