Travay 7
1 Granprèt la mande Etyèn: Eske se vre?
Then sayde ye chefe prest: is it even 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 sayde: ye men brethren and fathers harken to. The God of glory appered vnto oure father Abraha whyll he was yet 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 sayd vnto him: come out of thy contre and from thy kynred and come into the londe which I shall shewe the.
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 londe of Chaldey and dwelt in Charran. And after that assone as his father was deed he brought him into this lande in which 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 he gave him none inheritaunce in it no not the bredeth of a fote: but promised yt he wolde geve it to him to possesse and to his seed after him when as yet he had no chylde.
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).
God verely spake on this wyse that his seade shulde be a dweller in a straunge londe and that they shulde kepe them in bondage and entreate them evyll. iiii. C. yeares.
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 nacion to whom they shalbe in bondage will I iudge sayde God. And after that shall they come forthe and serve 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.
And he gave him the covenaunt of circumcision. And he begat Isaac and circumcised him the viii. daye and Isaac begat Iacob and Iacob the twelve 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 havinge indignacio solde Ioseph into Egipte. And 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 delivered him out of all his adversities. And gave him faveour and wisdome in the sight of Pharao kynge of Egipte which made him governer over Egipte and over all his housholde.
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 ther a derth over all the londe of Egipt and Canaan and great affliccion that our fathers founde no sustenauce.
12 Lè Jakòb tande te gen manje nan peyi Lejip, li voye zansèt nou yo la yon premye fwa.
But when Iacob hearde that ther was corne in Egipte he sent oure fathers fyrst
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 seconde tyme Ioseph was knowen of his brethren and Iosephs kynred was made knowne 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 kynne thre score and xv. soules.
15 Jakòb desann nan peyi Lejip. Se la li mouri, li menm ak tout zansèt nou yo.
And Iacob descended into Egipte and dyed bothe he and oure 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 translated into Sichem ond were put in ye sepulcre that Abraham bought for money of the sonnes of Emor at Sichem.
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.
When ye tyme of ye promes drue nye (which God had sworme to Abraham) the people grewe and multiplied in Egipte
18 Yon lòt wa ki pa t' konnen anyen sou Jozèf te pran kòmandman peyi a.
till another kynge arose which knewe not of 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 dealte suttelly with oure kynred and evyll intreated oure fathers and made them to cast oute their younge chyldren that they shuld not remayne alyve.
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 tyme was Moses borne and was a proper childe in ye sight of God which was norisshed vp in his fathers housse thre monethes.
21 Men, lè yo te lage l' deyò a, pitit fi farawon an te ranmase l': li elve l' tankou pitit pa li.
When he was cast out Pharoes doughter toke him vp and norisshed him vp for her awne 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 maner wisdome of the Egipcians and was mighty in dedes and in wordes.
23 Lè Moyiz vin gen karantan, li fè lide al vizite frè l' yo, moun pèp Izrayèl yo.
And when he was full forty yeare olde it came into his hert to visit his brethren the chyldren of Israhel.
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 when he sawe one of them suffre wronge he defended him and avenged his quarell that had the harme done to him and smote the Egypcian.
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 he supposed hys brethren wolde have vnderstonde how yt God by his hondes shuld save them But they vnderstode 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 daye he shewed him selfe vnto the as they strove and wolde have set the at one agayne sayinge: Syrs ye are brethren why hurte ye one 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 dyd his neghbour wronge thrust him awaye sayinge: who made ye a rular and a iudge amonge vs?
28 Gen lè ou vle touye m' menm jan ou te touye moun peyi Lejip ayè a?
What wilt thou kyll me as thou dyddest the Egyptian yester daye?
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 fleed Moses at that sayenge and was a stranger in the londe of Madian where he begat 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. xl. yeares were expired ther appered to him in the wyldernes of mounte Syna an angell of the Lorde in a flamme of fyre in a busshe.
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:
When Moses sawe it he wondred at the syght. And as he drue neare to beholde the voyce of the Lorde came vnto him:
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 ye God of thy fathers the God of Abraham the God of Isaac and the God of Iacob. Moses trembled and durst not beholde.
33 Lè sa a Bondye di l' ankò: Wete sapat ou, paske kote ou ye a se yon tè ki apa pou Bondye.
Then sayde ye Lorde to him: Put of thy showes from thy fete for the place where thou stondest is holy grounde.
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 have perfectly sene the affliccion of my people which is in Egypte and I have hearde their gronynge and am come doune to delyver them. And now come and I will sende the into Egypte.
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 whom they forsoke sayinge: who made the a ruelar and a iudge: the same God sent bothe a ruler and delyverer by ye hondes of the angell which appered to him in the busshe.
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.
And the same brought them out shewynge wonders and signes in Egypte and in the reed see and in the wyldernes. xl. yeares.
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 sayde vnto the chyldre of Israel: A Prophet shall the Lorde youre God rayse vp vnto you of youre brethren lyke 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 ye congregacion in the wyldernes with the angell which spake to him in ye moute Syna and with oure fathers. This man receaved the worde of lyfe to geve vnto vs
39 Men, zansèt nou yo pa t' vle obeyi l'; yo mete l' sou kote, epi yo te anvi tounen Lejip.
to who oure fathers wolde not obeye but cast it from them and in their hertes turned backe agayne into Egypte
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.
sayinge vnto Aaron: Make vs goddes to goo before vs. For this Moses that brought vs out of the londe of Egypte we wote not what is become of him.
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 ymage and reioysed in the workes of their awne hondes.
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 him selfe and gave them vp that they shuld worship the starres of the skye as it is written in the boke of the prophetes. O ye of ye housse of Israel gave ye to me sacrefices and meate offerynges by the space of xl. yeares 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 toke vnto you the tabernacle of Moloch and the starre of youre god Remphan figures which ye made to worshippe them. And I will translate you beyonde 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.
Oure fathers had the tabernacle of witnes in ye wyldernes as he had apoynted the speakynge vnto Moses that he shuld make it acordynge to the fassion that he had sene.
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 oure fathers receaved and brought it in with Iosue into the possession of the gentyls which God drave out before the face of oure fathers vnto the tyme of David
46 David te jwenn favè Bondye, li te mande l' pèmisyon pou l' te fè yon kay pou Bondye Jakòb la.
which founde favour before God and desyred that he myght fynde a tabernacle for the God of Iacob.
47 Men se Salomon ki te bati kay la pou li.
But Salomon bylt him an housse.
48 Men, Bondye ki anwo nan syèl la pa rete nan kay moun bati ak men yo. Men sa pwofèt la di:
How be it he that is hyest of all dwelleth not in teple made with hondes as saith the Prophete:
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'?
Heven is my seate and erth is my fote stole what housse will ye bylde for me sayth the Lorde? or what place is it that I shuld rest in?
50 Eske se pa mwen ki fè tout bagay sa yo?
hath not my honde made all these thinges?
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 hertes and eares: ye have all wayes resisted the holy goost: as youre fathers dyd so do ye.
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 prophetes have not youre fathers persecuted? And they have slayne them which shewed before of the commynge of that iust whom ye have now betrayed and mordred.
53 Se nou menm ki te resevwa lalwa Moyiz nan men zanj Bondye yo, epi se nou menm ankò ki pa obeyi li.
And ye also have receaved a lawe by the ordinaunce of angels and have 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.
When they hearde these thinges their hertes clave a sunder and they gnasshed on him with their tethe.
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 beynge full of the holy goost loked vp stedfastlye with his eyes into heven and sawe the glorie of God and Iesus stondynge on the ryght honde 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 sayde: beholde I se the hevens open and the sonne of man stondynge on the ryght honde of god.
57 Moun yo pran rele byen fò, yo bouche zòrèy yo. Epi yo tout tonbe sou li ansanm.
Then they gave a shute with a loude voyce and stopped their eares and ranne apon him 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 caste him out of the cite and stoned him. And the witnesses layde doune their clothes at a yonge mannes fete 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 Steven callynge on and sayinge: Lorde Iesu receave my sprete.
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 kneled doune and cryed with a loude voyce: Lorde laye not this synne to their charge. And when he had thus spoken he fell a slepe.
