Travay 7
1 Granprèt la mande Etyèn: Eske se vre?
Then sayd the chiefe Priest, Are these things so?
2 Etyèn reponn: Frè m' yo, grandèt mwen yo, koute. Bondye, ki gen bèl pouvwa a, te parèt devan Abraram, zansèt nou. Lè sa a, li te rete nan peyi Mezopotami, li pa t' ankò vin rete Karan.
And he sayd, Ye men, brethren and Fathers, hearken. That God of glory appeared vnto our father Abraham, while he was in Mesopotamia, before he dwelt in Charran,
3 Bondye di l' konsa: Kite peyi ou la, kite tout fanmi ou yo ladan l'. Ale nan peyi m'a moutre ou la.
And said vnto him, Come out of thy countrey, and from thy kindred, and come into the land, which I shall shewe thee.
4 Se konsa, Abraram kite peyi kaldeyen yo, li al rete Karan. Lè papa Abraram mouri, Bondye fè l' kite Karan vin nan peyi kote n'ap viv koulye a.
Then came he out of the land of the Chaldeans, and dwelt in Charran. And after that his father was dead, God brought him from thence into this land, wherein ye now dwell,
5 Lè sa a, Bondye pa t' bay Abraram okenn bitasyon nan peyi a, pa menm yon ti pous tè. Men, Bondye te pwomèt li t'ap ba l' peyi a ki t'ap rete nèt pou li ak pou pitit pitit li yo. Men, lè sa a Abraram pa t' gen pitit.
And hee gaue him none inheritance in it, no, not the bredth of a foote: yet he promised that he would giue it to him for a possession, and to his seede after him, when as yet hee had no childe.
6 Men sa Bondye te di l': Pitit pitit ou yo gen pou y' al viv nan yon peyi etranje, kote y'ap fè yo tounen esklav, kote y'ap maltrete yo pandan katsanzan (400 an).
But God spake thus, that his seede should be a soiourner in a strange land: and that they should keepe it in bondage, and entreate it euill foure hundreth yeeres.
7 Men, Bondye di l' ankò: Se mwen menm k'ap peni nasyon ki va pran yo fè esklav la. Apre sa, y'a soti kite peyi etranje sa a, y'a vin sèvi m' isit la.
But the nation to whome they shall be in bondage, will I iudge, sayth God: and after that, they shall come forth and serue me in this place.
8 Apre sa, Bondye pase yon kontra ak Abraram, li ba li sikonsizyon an pou sèvi mak kontra a. Se konsa Abraram te sikonsi Izarak, pitit gason l' lan, wit jou apre l' te fèt. Menm jan an tou, Izarak te sikonsi Jakòb, pitit li a. Jakòb menm sikonsi douz pitit li yo, zansèt douz branch fanmi pèp Izrayèl la.
Hee gaue him also the couenant of circumcision: and so Abraham begate Isaac, and circumcised him the eight day: and Isaac begate Iacob, and Iacob the twelue Patriarkes.
9 Pitit Jakòb yo, zansèt nou yo, fè jalouzi pou Jozèf. Yo vann li tankou yon esklav nan peyi Lejip. Men, Bondye te kanpe la avèk Jozèf.
And the Patriarkes moued with enuie, solde Ioseph into Egypt: but God was with him,
10 Li delivre l' nan tout malè li. Lè Jozèf parèt devan farawon an, wa peyi Lejip la, Bondye ba l' bon konprann, li fè l' aji yon jan ki fè wa a plezi. Farawon an mete Jozèf chèf pou l' gouvènen tout peyi Lejip la ansanm ak kay wa a tou.
And deliuered him out of all his afflictions, and gaue him fauour and wisdome in the sight of Pharao King of Egypt, who made him gouernour ouer Egypt, and ouer his whole house.
11 Apre sa, vin gen yon grangou nan tout peyi Lejip ak nan peyi Kanaran. Moun t'ap soufri anpil. Zansèt nou yo pa t' jwenn anyen pou yo te manje.
Then came there a famine ouer all the land of Egypt and Chanaan, and great affliction, that our fathers found no sustenance.
12 Lè Jakòb tande te gen manje nan peyi Lejip, li voye zansèt nou yo la yon premye fwa.
But when Iacob heard that there was corne in Egypt, he sent our fathers first:
13 Dezyèm fwa y' ale a, Jozèf fè frè l' yo rekonèt li. Se konsa farawon an vin fè konesans ak fanmi Jozèf yo.
And at the second time, Ioseph was knowen of his brethren, and Iosephs kindred was made knowen vnto Pharao.
14 Jozèf voye chache Jakòb, papa l', ansanm ak tout fanmi li. Lè sa a, yo te swasannkenz moun antou.
Then sent Ioseph and caused his father to be brought, and all his kindred, euen threescore and fifteene soules.
15 Jakòb desann nan peyi Lejip. Se la li mouri, li menm ak tout zansèt nou yo.
So Iacob went downe into Egypt, and he dyed, and our fathers,
16 Yo pote kò yo Sichèm, yo antere yo la, nan twou wòch Abraram te achte nan men eritye Emò yo, lavil Sichèm.
And were remoued into Sychem, and were put in the sepulchre, that Abraham had bought for money of the sonnes of Emor, sonne of Sychem.
17 Lè a t'ap pwoche pou Bondye te kenbe pwomès li te fè Abraram lan. Pèp nou an te vin anpil, chak jou li t'ap vin pi plis toujou nan peyi Lejip la.
But when the time of the promise drewe neere, which God had sworne to Abraham, the people grewe and multiplied in Egypt,
18 Yon lòt wa ki pa t' konnen anyen sou Jozèf te pran kòmandman peyi a.
Till another King arose, which knewe not Ioseph.
19 Wa sa a twonpe pèp nou an, li maltrete zansèt nou yo: li fòse yo kite tibebe ki fenk fèt yo deyò pou yo mouri.
The same dealt subtilly with our kindred, and euill entreated our fathers, and made them to cast out their yong children, that they should not remaine aliue.
20 Se lè sa a Moyiz te fèt: se te yon bèl pitit devan Bondye. Yo te kenbe l' pandan twa mwa lakay papa li pou ba l' tete.
The same time was Moses borne, and was acceptable vnto God, which was nourished vp in his fathers house three moneths.
21 Men, lè yo te lage l' deyò a, pitit fi farawon an te ranmase l': li elve l' tankou pitit pa li.
And when he was cast out, Pharaohs daughter tooke him vp, and nourished him for her owne sonne.
22 Se konsa Moyiz te vin gen tout konesans moun peyi Lejip yo. Sou jan l' te pale ak sa l' t'ap fè, yo te wè msye te fò anpil.
And Moses was learned in all the wisdome of the Egyptians, and was mightie in wordes and in deedes.
23 Lè Moyiz vin gen karantan, li fè lide al vizite frè l' yo, moun pèp Izrayèl yo.
Nowe when he was full fourtie yeere olde, it came into his heart to visite his brethren, the children of Israel.
24 Lè l' rive, li wè yon moun peyi Lejip ki t'ap maltrete yonn nan frè l' yo, li pran defans nonm yo t'ap maltrete a. Li pran revanj li sou moun peyi Lejip la, li touye li.
And whe he saw one of them suffer wrong, he defended him, and auenged his quarell that had the harme done to him, and smote the Egyptian.
25 Li te kwè frè l' yo ta konprann travay Bondye ki te chwazi l' pou delivre yo a. Men, yo pa t' konprann sa.
For hee supposed his brethren would haue vnderstand, that God by his hande should giue them deliuerance: but they vnderstoode it not.
26 Nan denmen, Moyiz wè de nan moun pèp Izrayèl yo ki t'ap goumen. Li te vle fè yo byen ankò, li di yo: Mezanmi, se frè nou ye. Poukisa yonn ap maltrete lòt konsa?
And the next day, he shewed himselfe vnto them as they stroue, and woulde haue set them at one againe, saying, Syrs, ye are brethren: why doe ye wrong one to another?
27 Men, sa ki t'ap maltrete moun pèp Izrayèl parèy li a bay Moyiz yon zòp, li di l' konsa: Kilès ki mete ou la pou ban nou lòd, osinon pou jije nou?
But he that did his neighbour wrong, thrust him away, saying, Who made thee a prince, and a iudge ouer vs?
28 Gen lè ou vle touye m' menm jan ou te touye moun peyi Lejip ayè a?
Wilt thou kill mee, as thou diddest the Egyptian yesterday?
29 Lè Moyiz tande pawòl sa yo, li kouri kite peyi a, li al viv nan peyi Madyan. Antan l' te la, li fè de pitit gason.
Then fled Moses at that saying, and was a stranger in the land of Madian, where he begate two sonnes.
30 Karantan apre sa, yon zanj Bondye parèt devan Moyiz nan yon flanm dife ki t'ap boule yon ti touf bwa nan mitan dezè ki bò Mòn Sinayi a.
And when fourtie yeres were expired, there appeared to him in the wildernes of mout Sina, an Angel of the Lord in a flame of fire, in a bush.
31 Moyiz te sezi lè l' wè aparisyon sa a. Antan l' t'ap pwoche pou gade l' pi pre, li tande vwa Bondye ki t'ap di:
And when Moses sawe it, hee wondred at the sight: and as he drew neere to consider it, the voyce of the Lord came vnto him, saying,
32 Se mwen menm ki Bondye zansèt ou yo, Bondye Abraram, Bondye Izarak ak Bondye Jakòb. Moyiz pran tranble sitèlman li te pè. Li pa menm louvri je l' pou l' gade.
I am the God of thy fathers, the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Iacob. Then Moses trembled, and durst not behold it.
33 Lè sa a Bondye di l' ankò: Wete sapat ou, paske kote ou ye a se yon tè ki apa pou Bondye.
Then the Lord said to him, Put off thy shoes from thy feete: for the place where thou standest, is holy ground.
34 Mwen wè tray pèp mwen an ap pase nan peyi Lejip, mwen tande jan li ap plenn, mwen desann vin delivre yo. Koulye a, ale non. Se mwen menm k'ap voye ou nan peyi Lejip.
I haue seene, I haue seene the affliction of my people, which is in Egypt, and I haue heard their groning, and am come downe to deliuer them: and nowe come, and I will sende thee into Egypt.
35 Moun pèp Izrayèl yo te voye Moyiz jete lè yo te di: Kilès ki mete ou la pou ban nou lòd osinon pou jije nou? Se menm Moyiz sa a Bondye te voye pou kòmande yo, pou delivre yo avèk konkou zanj ki te parèt nan ti touf bwa a.
This Moses whome they forsooke, saying, Who made thee a prince and a iudge? the same God sent for a prince, and a deliuerer by the hand of the Angel, which appeared to him in the bush.
36 Se Moyiz ki fè pèp Izrayèl la soti kite peyi Lejip, avèk tout mirak ak tout bèl bagay li te fè nan peyi a bò lanmè Wouj la ak nan dezè a pandan karantan.
Hee brought them out, doing wonders, and miracles in the land of Egypt, and in the red sea, and in the wildernes fourtie yeeres.
37 Se menm Moyiz sa a ki te di pèp Izrayèl la: Bondye gen pou l' voye yon pwofèt ban nou tankou l' te voye m' lan: se va yonn nan frè nou yo.
This is that Moses, which saide vnto the children of Israel, A Prophet shall the Lord your God raise vp vnto you, euen of your brethren, like vnto me: him shall ye heare.
38 Se li menm ki te la ak pèp Izrayèl la lè yo te sanble nan gwo dezè a; li te la avèk zansèt nou yo ansanm ak zanj Bondye a ki t'ap pale avè l' sou gwo mòn Sinayi a. Se li menm ki te resevwa pawòl ki bay lavi a nan men Bondye epi ki pase yo ban nou.
This is he that was in the Congregation, in the wildernes with the Angell, which spake to him in mount Sina, and with our fathers, who receiued the liuely oracles to giue vnto vs.
39 Men, zansèt nou yo pa t' vle obeyi l'; yo mete l' sou kote, epi yo te anvi tounen Lejip.
To whom our fathers would not obey, but refused, and in their hearts turned backe againe into Egypt:
40 Yo di Arawon: Fè lòt bondye ki pou mache devan nou, paske nou pa konnen sa ki rive nonm yo rele Moyiz la ki te fè nou soti kite peyi Lejip la.
Saying vnto Aaron, Make vs gods that may goe before vs: for we knowe not what is become of this Moses that brought vs out of the land of Egypt.
41 Lè sa a, yo fè yon estati an fòm yon ti towo bèf, epi yo touye bèt ofri bay zidòl la. Yo te kontan pou sa yo te fè ak men yo a.
And they made a calfe in those dayes, and offered sacrifice vnto the idole, and reioyced in the workes of their owne handes.
42 Men, Bondye vire do l' ba yo, li kite yo adore zetwal ki nan syèl la, jan sa te ekri nan Liv pwofèt yo: Nou menm pèp Izrayèl, èske se pou mwen nou te fè ofrann bèt ak lòt sakrifis, pandan karantan nou pase nan gwo dezè a?
Then God turned himselfe away, and gaue them vp to serue the host of heauen, as it is written in the booke of the Prophets, O house of Israel, haue ye offred to me slaine beasts and sacrifices by the space of fourtie yeres in the wildernes?
43 Non, se pa t' pou mwen. Men, nou redi pote wogatwa zidòl Molòk la, ansanm ak pòtre zetwal Refan, bondye nou an, bann zidòl nou te fè ak men nou pou n' adore! Se poutèt sa, m'ap voye nou jouk lòt bò Babilòn.
And ye tooke vp the tabernacle of Moloch, and the starre of your god Remphan, figures, which ye made to worship them: therefore I will carie you away beyond Babylon.
44 Nan gwo dezè a, zansèt nou yo te gen yon tant kote yo te fèmen de wòch plat lalwa yo. Yo te fè l' jan Bondye te mande Moyiz pou l' fè l' la, dapre modèl li te moutre Moyiz la.
Our fathers had the tabernacle of witnes, in the wildernes, as hee had appointed, speaking vnto Moses, that he should make it according to the fashion that he had seene.
45 Yo pase tant sa a bay grandèt nou yo ki te vin apre. Grandèt nou yo menm te pote l' avèk yo lè Jozye t'ap mennen yo pou yo pran peyi a nan men pèp Bondye t'ap chase met deyò devan yo. Tant la rete la jouk sou tan David.
Which tabernacle also our fathers receiued, and brought in with Iesus into the possession of the Gentiles, which God draue out before our fathers, vnto the dayes of Dauid:
46 David te jwenn favè Bondye, li te mande l' pèmisyon pou l' te fè yon kay pou Bondye Jakòb la.
Who found fauour before God, and desired that hee might finde a tabernacle for the God of Iacob.
47 Men se Salomon ki te bati kay la pou li.
But Salomon built him an house.
48 Men, Bondye ki anwo nan syèl la pa rete nan kay moun bati ak men yo. Men sa pwofèt la di:
Howbeit the most High dwelleth not in temples made with handes, as saith the Prophet,
49 Syèl la se fòtèy kote m' chita a. Se Bondye ki di sa. Tè a se yon ti ban pou m' lonje pye mwen. Ki kalite kay nou ta ka bati pou mwen? Ki kote nou ta ka ban mwen pou m' poze kò m'?
Heauen is my throne, and earth is my footestoole: what house wil ye build for me, saith the Lord? or what place is it that I should rest in?
50 Eske se pa mwen ki fè tout bagay sa yo?
Hath not mine hand made all these things?
51 Ala moun gen tèt di! Tankou moun lòt nasyon yo, nou fèmen kè nou, nou fèmen zòrèy nou bay Bondye, n'ap kenbe tèt ak Sentespri toujou. Nou tankou zansèt nou yo.
Ye stiffenecked and of vncircumcised heartes and eares, ye haue alwayes resisted the holy Ghost: as your fathers did, so do you.
52 Kilès nan pwofèt yo zansèt nou yo pa t' pèsekite? Yo te touye tout pwofèt ki te fè konnen davans ki jan Sèvitè Bondye a te gen pou vini. Koulye a, se Sèvitè Bondye a menm nou trayi, se li menm nou touye.
Which of the Prophets haue not your fathers persecuted? and they haue slaine them, which shewed before of the comming of that Iust, of whome ye are now the betrayers and murtherers,
53 Se nou menm ki te resevwa lalwa Moyiz nan men zanj Bondye yo, epi se nou menm ankò ki pa obeyi li.
Which haue receiued the Lawe by the ordinance of Angels, and haue not kept it.
54 Lè manm Gran Konsèy yo tande pawòl sa yo, yo fin pran chenn, yo manje dan yo sou Etyèn sitèlman yo te an kolè.
But when they heard these thinges, their heartes brast for anger, and they gnashed at him with their teeth.
55 Men Etyèn, anba pouvwa Sentespri, leve je l' anlè, li gade syèl la. Li wè tout bèl pouvwa Bondye a ansanm ak Jezi kanpe sou bò dwat Bondye.
But he being full of the holy Ghost, looked stedfastly into heauen, and sawe the glory of God, and Iesus standing at the right hand of God,
56 Li di: Gade, men mwen wè syèl la louvri, ak Moun Bondye voye nan lachè a kanpe sou bò dwat Bondye.
And said, Beholde, I see the heauens open, and the Sonne of man standing at the right hand of God.
57 Moun yo pran rele byen fò, yo bouche zòrèy yo. Epi yo tout tonbe sou li ansanm.
Then they gaue a shoute with a loude voyce, and stopped their eares, and ranne vpon him violently all at once,
58 Yo trennen l' deyò lavil la. Yo touye l' ak kout wòch. Moun ki t'ap akize Etyèn yo te mete rad yo nan pye yon jenn gason yo te rele Sòl.
And cast him out of the citie, and stoned him: and the witnesses layd downe their clothes at a yong mans feete, named Saul.
59 Pandan yo t'ap voye wòch sou Etyèn, Etyèn menm t'ap lapriyè, li t'ap di: Seyè Jezi, resevwa lespri mwen.
And they stoned Steuen, who called on God, and said, Lord Iesus, receiue my spirit.
60 Apre sa, li tonbe ajenou, li rele byen fò: Seyè, pa mete peche sa a sou kont yo. Lè l' fin di sa, li mouri.
And he kneeled downe, and cried with a loude voyce, Lord, laye not this sinne to their charge. And when he had thus spoken, he slept.
