Travay 1
1 Premye istwa ke m te ekri a, chè Théophile, sou tout bagay ke Jésus te kòmanse fè ak enstwi yo,
THE former writing, O Theophilus, I wrote concerning all those (things) which our Lord Jeshu Meshiha began to do and to teach,
2 jis rive jou lè Li te monte nan syèl la apre Li te fin bay lòd selon Lespri Sen an, a apòt ke Li te chwazi yo.
until that day in which he was taken up, after that he had instructed those apostles whom he had chosen by the Holy Spirit:
3 A sila yo osi Li te prezante tèt li vivan apre soufrans Li, e avèk anpil prèv konvenkan, Li te parèt a yo menm pandan karant jou, e te pale avèk yo de bagay ki te konsène wayòm syèl la.
to whom also he showed himself alive, after he had suffered, with many signs, for forty days, appearing to them, and discoursing on the kingdom of Aloha.
4 Li te rasanble yo ansanm e te kòmande yo: “Pa kite Jérusalem, men tann sa ke Papa a te pwomèt la; sa ke nou te tande de Mwen menm nan.
And when he had eaten bread with them, he directed them that from Urishlem they should not remove; but await the promise of the Father, which, you have heard from me.
5 Paske Jean te batize avèk dlo, men nou va batize avèk Lespri Sen an pa a anpil jou de kounye a.”
For Juhanon baptized with waters, but you shall be baptized with the Spirit of Holiness after days not many.
6 Donk, lè yo te reyini ansanm, yo t ap poze Li kesyon, e t ap di: “Senyè èske se nan lè sa a ke W ap restore Wayòm lan an Israël?”
But they when assembled asked him, and said to him, Our Lord, at this time wilt thou restore the kingdom to Israel?
7 Li te di yo: “Se pa nou menm ki pou konnen ni lè ni tan ke Papa a gen tan fikse pa otorite pa L.
He saith to them, This is not yours to know the time or the times which the Father hath reposed in his own authority:
8 Men Nou va resevwa pouvwa lè Lespri Sen an vini sou nou. Nou va temwen Mwen ni nan Jérusalem, ni nan Juda ak Samarie, e jis rive nan dènye ekstremite latè.”
but when the Spirit of Holiness hath come upon you, you shall receive power to be made unto me the witnesses, in Urishlem and in all Jehud, and also among the Shomroyee, and unto the confines of the earth.
9 Lè Li te fin di bagay sa yo Li te vin leve anlè pandan yo t ap gade, e yon nyaj te resevwa L. Li te vin disparèt jiskaske yo pa t wè Li.
And as these he said, while they beheld him, he was taken up, and the cloud received him, and he was covered from their eyes.
10 Pandan yo t ap toujou gade byen fikse nan syèl la, pandan Li t ap prale, epi vwala de mesye ak vètman blan te kanpe akote L;
And while they looked to the heavens as he went, two men were found standing with them in white vestments;
11 E yo menm osi te di: “Moun Galilée yo, poukisa nou kanpe ap gade nan syèl la? Jésus sila a, ki leve kite nou, pou ale nan syèl la, va vini menm jan ke nou wè L ale nan syèl la”.
and they said to them, Men, Galiloyee, why stand you looking to the heavens 3? this Jeshu who is taken up from you into the heavens will so come as you have seen him ascend into the heavens.
12 Alò, yo te retounen Jérusalem sòti nan mòn yo rele Olivier a, ki toupre Jérusalem, a distans mache yon jou Saba.
And afterward they returned to Urishlem from the mount which is called the place of Olives, which is over against Urishlem, and distant from her as seven stadias.
13 Lè yo te antre nan vil la, yo te ale nan chanm anlè kote yo t ap rete a; sa vle di, Pierre Jean, Jacques André, Philippe, Thomas, Barthélemy, Matthieu, Jacques, ki te fis Alphée a, Simon, Zelòt la, ak Judas, fis a Jacques la.
And after they had entered, they ascended to that upper room in which were Petros, and Juhanon, and Jakub, and Andros, and Philipos, and Thoma, and Mathai, and Bar Tolmai, and Jakub bar Halphai, and Shemun the Zealous, and Jihuda bar Jakub.
14 Sa yo avèk yon sèl panse yo t ap toujou pèsevere nan lapriyè, ansanm avèk fanm yo, ak Marie, manman a Jésus, ak frè Li yo.
These altogether persevered in prayer with one soul, with the women, and with Mariam the mother of Jeshu, and with his brethren.
15 Nan lè sa a, Pierre te kanpe nan mitan frè yo (yon asanble de anviwon san ven moun ki te la ansanm) e te di:
AND in those days arose Shemun Kipha in the midst of the disciples; -now there was there an assembly of men as an hundred and twenty; -and said,
16 “Frè m yo, Ekriti a te oblije vin akonpli, jan Lespri Sen an te anonse oparavan pa bouch David konsènan Judas ki te vin yon gid a sila ki te arete Jésus yo.
Men, brethren, it was right for that scripture to be fulfilled which the Spirit of Holiness had before spoken, by the mouth of David, concerning Jihuda, who was the leader of them who took Jeshu.
17 Paske li te konte pami nou, e te resevwa pati pa li, nan èv sila a.
For he had numbered with us, and had part in this ministry.
18 “Alò mesye sila te vin achte yon chan avèk pri mechanste li a; e te tonbe tèt devan; vant li te fann e zantray li te vide sòti.
This is he who obtained the field with the wages of sin, and fell upon his face on the ground, and was severed in his middle, and all his bowels were shed forth.
19 Epi sa te vin byen koni pa tout sila ki te rete Jérusalem yo; pou ke nan pwòp lang pa yo, yo te rele chan sa a Hakeldama, ki vle di chan san an.
And this hath been known of all who dwell in Urishlem; and so is called that field in the language of the country Hakel-damo, the interpretation of which is, A field of blood.
20 “Paske sa ekri nan liv Sòm Yo: ‘Kite kote li rete a vin devaste; e pa kite pèsòn rete ladan l’; ‘Kite yon lòt moun vin pran pozisyon pa li a’.
For it is written in the book of Psalms: Let his habitation be desert, And no inhabitant be therein, And his ministry let another take.
21 “Donk, li nesesè ke pami moun ki akonpanye nou tout tan ke Senyè Jésus te antre sòti pami nou yo,
There needeth therefore one from these men who have been with us in all this time in which our Lord Jeshu hath come in and gone out among us,
22 kòmanse nan batèm Jean, jis rive jou ke Li te anlève soti nan mitan nou an, youn nan sila yo ta dwe devni yon temwen avèk nou de rezirèksyon Li.”
which went forth from the baptism of Juhanon until the day that he was taken up from (being) with us, to be with us a witness of his resurrection.
23 Konsa yo te mete devan de mesye, Joseph ke yo te rele Barsabbas, ki te anplis rele Justus, ak Matthias.
And they set up two: Jauseph, who is called Barshaba, who is surnamed Justus, and Mathia.
24 Yo te priye, e te di: “Ou menm, Senyè ki konnen kè tout moun, montre nou kilès nan de zòm sa yo Ou chwazi a,
And praying, they said, Thou, Lord, (who) knowest the hearts of all, show the one whom thou choosest of these two,
25 pou okipe èv apòt sila a ke Judas te vire kite pou ale nan pwòp plas li a.”
that he may receive the part in the ministry and the apostleship from which Jihuda separated, to go unto his place.
26 Yo te fè tiraj osò pou yo, e osò a te tonbe pou Matthias. Konsa, li te ajoute pami onz apòt yo.
And they cast the lots, and it came up unto Mathia; and he was numbered with the eleven apostles.
