Travay 10
1 Alò, te gen yon sèten nonm nan Césarée ke yo te rele Corneille, yon santenye nan kowòt Italyen an.
Now there was a certain man in Caesarea, Cornelius by name, a centurion of what was called the Italian Regiment,
2 Li te yon mesye fidèl ki te gen lakrent Bondye avèk tout lakay li, ki te bay anpil charite a pèp Jwif la, e li te priye Bondye kontinyèlman.
a devout man, and one who feared God with all his house, who gave gifts for the needy generously to the people, and always prayed to God.
3 Anviwon nevyèm è nan jounen an, li te wè byen klè nan yon vizyon, yon zanj Bondye ki te vin kote li e te di l: “Corneille!”
At about three in the afternoon, he clearly saw in a vision an angel of God coming to him, and saying to him, "Cornelius."
4 Ak zye l fikse sou li, e gwo laperèz, e te di: “Kisa li ye, Senyè?” Zanj la te di li: “Priyè ou avèk charite ou kon yon rekèt, gen tan monte devan Bondye.
He, fastening his eyes on him, and being frightened, said, "What is it, Lord?" He said to him, "Your prayers and your gifts to the needy have gone up for a memorial before God.
5 Koulye a, voye kèk moun Joppé e mande pou yon mesye yo rele Simon, ki rele osi Pierre.
Now send men to Joppa, and bring one Simon who is surnamed Peter.
6 Li rete lakay a yon bòs tanè yo rele Simon ki rete bò lanmè a.”
He lodges with one Simon, a tanner, whose house is by the seaside."
7 Lè zanj ki t ap pale avè l la te ale, li te rele de nan sèvitè li yo, avèk yon sòlda fidèl nan lafwa ki te sèvi li tout tan.
When the angel who spoke to him had departed, he called two of his household servants and a devout soldier of those who waited on him continually.
8 Lè l te fin eksplike yo tout bagay, li te voye yo Joppé.
Having explained everything to them, he sent them to Joppa.
9 Nan jou apre a, pandan yo te nan chemen yo, ap pwoche vil la Pierre te ale sou do kay la nan anviwon sizyèm è pou priye.
Now on the next day as they were on their journey, and got close to the city, Peter went up on the housetop to pray at about noon.
10 Men li te vin grangou, e li te vle manje. Men pandan yo t ap fè preparasyon an, li te tonbe nan yon rèv.
He became hungry and desired to eat, but while they were preparing, he fell into a trance.
11 Konsa, li te wè syèl la louvri, epi yon bagay tankou yon gwo dra te lonje desann bò kat kwen li yo jiska atè.
He saw heaven opened and a certain container descending to him, like a great sheet let down by four corners on the earth,
12 Ladann l te gen tout kalite bèt kat pye ak kreyati ki rale atè ak zwazo syèl yo.
in which were all kinds of four-footed animals of the earth, crawling creatures and birds of the sky.
13 Yon vwa te vini sou li: “Leve, Pierre, touye e manje!”
A voice came to him, "Rise, Peter, kill and eat."
14 Men Pierre te di: “Sa p ap janm fèt, Senyè, paske Mwen pa janm manje anyen ki pa sen e pwòp.”
But Peter said, "Not so, Lord; for I have never eaten anything that is common or unclean."
15 Ankò yon vwa te vini a li menm, pou dezyèm fwa: “Sa ke Bondye gen tan fè pwòp, pa konsidere l ankò pa sen.”
A voice came to him again the second time, "What God has cleansed, you must not call unclean."
16 Sa te rive twa fwa; epi imedyatman, bagay la te vin remonte nan syèl la.
This was done three times, and immediately the vessel was received up into heaven.
17 Alò, Pierre te byen twouble nan lespri li sou sa vizyon li te wè te siyifi a. Epi konsa mesye ki te voye pa Corneille yo, lè yo te fin mande tout direksyon pou kay Simon, te parèt nan pòtay la.
Now while Peter was very perplexed within himself what the vision which he had seen might mean, look, the men who were sent by Cornelius, having made inquiry for Simon's house, stood before the gate,
18 Yo te rele anlè, pou mande si Simon, ke yo rele osi Pierre a te rete la.
and called and asked whether Simon, who was surnamed Peter, was lodging there.
19 Pandan Pierre t ap reflechi sou vizyon an Lespri a te di l: “Gade, gen twa mesye k ap chache ou.
While Peter was pondering the vision, the Spirit said to him, "Look, three men seek you.
20 Alò, leve desann eskalye a pou akonpanye yo san doute anyen. Paske se Mwen menm ki voye yo.”
But arise, get down, and go with them, doubting nothing; for I have sent them."
21 Pierre te desann vè moun yo. Li te di yo: “Se mwen menm nou ap chache a. Se pou ki rezon nou vini an?”
And Peter went down to the men, and said, "Look, I am the one whom you seek. Why have you come?"
22 Yo te di: “Corneille, yon sòlda santenye, yon nonm dwat e ki krent Bondye, e ki byen pale pa tout nasyon Jwif la, te dirije pa yon zanj pou voye kote ou pou vini lakay li pou tande yon mesaj de ou menm.”
They said, "Cornelius, a centurion, a righteous man and one who fears God, and well spoken of by all the Jewish nation, was directed by a holy angel to invite you to his house, and to listen to what you say."
23 Konsa, li te envite yo antre, e li te bay yo lojman. Nan jou swivan a, li te leve. Li te sòti avèk yo, e kèk nan frè Joppé yo te akonpanye li.
So he called them in and lodged them. On the next day he arose and went out with them, and some of the brothers from Joppa accompanied him.
24 Nan youn jou pi tà, li te antre Césarée. Alò, Corneille t ap tann yo. Li te rele ansanm fanmi ak zanmi ki pwòch li yo.
On the next day he entered into Caesarea. Cornelius was waiting for them, having called together his relatives and his near friends.
25 Lè Pierre te antre, Corneille te rankontre li, e te tonbe nan pye li pou adore li.
When it happened that Peter entered, Cornelius met him, fell down at his feet, and worshiped him.
26 Men Pierre te leve l e te di: “Kanpe non, mwen menm se sèlman yon moun.”
But Peter raised him up, saying, "Stand up. I myself am also a man."
27 Pandan li t ap pale avèk li, li te antre, e te twouve anpil moun deja reyini.
And as he talked with him, he went in and found many gathered together.
28 Pierre te di yo: “Nou menm nou konnen kijan sa kont lalwa pou yon nonm ki se yon Jwif vin asosye avèk yon etranje, ni pou vizitè li. Men Bondye te deja montre m ke mwen pa dwe rele pèsòn pa sen oubyen pa pwòp.
He said to them, "You yourselves know how it is an unlawful thing for a man who is a Jew to join himself or come to one of another nation, but God has shown me that I should not call any man unholy or unclean.
29 Se pou rezon sa ke m te vini menm san okenn objeksyon lè yo te fè mwen vini an. Konsa, mwen mande pou ki sa nou fè mwen vini an?”
Therefore also I came without complaint when I was sent for. I ask therefore, why did you send for me?"
30 Corneille te di: “Kat jou pase jis nan menm lè sa a, mwen t ap fè jèn e priye lakay mwen nan nevyèm è a; epi vwala yon nonm te kanpe devan mwen avèk vètman ki t ap briye.
Cornelius said, "Four days ago until this hour, at three in the afternoon, I was praying in my house, and look, a man stood before me in bright clothing,
31 Li te di: ‘Corneille, priyè ou gen tan tande e ofrann ou yo gen tan sonje devan Bondye.
and said, 'Cornelius, your prayer is heard, and your gifts to the needy are remembered in the sight of God.
32 Pou sa, voye Joppé pou envite Simon, ke yo rele osi Pierre, pou vin kote nou. Li rete lakay Simon, ki se bòs tanè bò lanmè a.’
Send therefore to Joppa, and summon Simon, who is surnamed Peter. He lodges in the house of Simon, a tanner, by the seaside.'
33 Pou sa, mwen te fè ou vin touswit, e ou tèlman emab, ke ou vini. Alò, koulye a, nou tout isit la, prezan devan Bondye pou tande tout sa ke ou kòmande pa Senyè a.”
Therefore I sent to you at once, and it was good of you to come. Now therefore we are all here present in the sight of God to hear all things that have been commanded you by the Lord."
34 Lè l louvri bouch li, Pierre te di: “Vrèman, mwen konprann koulye a, ke Bondye se pa youn ki fè patipri pou pèsòn,
And Peter opened his mouth and said, "Truly I perceive that God does not show favoritism;
35 men nan tout nasyon yo, sila a ki gen lakrent Li, e ki fè sa ki bon, byen resevwa devan Li menm.
but in every nation he who fears him and works righteousness is acceptable to him.
36 Pawòl ke Li te voye a fis Israël yo, pou preche lapè atravè Jésus Kri a—Ke Li se Senyè a tout moun.
The word which he sent to the children of Israel, preaching good news of peace through Jesus Christ—he is Lord of all—
37 “Nou menm nou konnen bagay ki te pase nan tout Judée a, ki te kòmanse nan Galilée, apre batèm ke Jean te pwoklame a;
that spoken word you yourselves know, which was proclaimed throughout all Judea, beginning from Galilee, after the baptism which John preached;
38 sou Jésus de Nazareth la, jan Bondye te bay li onksyon avèk Lespri Sen an, e avèk pwisans, Li te ale toupatou e t ap fè byen, jan Li te geri tout moun ki te oprime pa dyab la, paske Bondye te avè L.
even Jesus of Nazareth, how God anointed him with the Holy Spirit and with power, who went about doing good and healing all who were oppressed by the devil, for God was with him.
39 “Nou se temwen a tout bagay ke Li te fè nan peyi Jwif yo, ak nan Jérusalem. Anplis yo te mete Li a lanmò lè yo te pann Li sou yon kwa.
We are witnesses of everything he did both in the land of the Jews and in Jerusalem, whom they also killed by hanging on a tree.
40 Bondye te fè l leve nan twazyèm jou a, e te pèmèt ke Li te vin vizib
God raised him up the third day, and gave him to be revealed,
41 pa a tout pèp la, men a temwen ki te chwazi oparavan pa Bondye yo; a nou menm ki te manje e bwè avèk Li apre Li te leve soti nan lanmò a.
not to all the people, but to witnesses who were chosen before by God, to us, who ate and drank with him after he rose from the dead.
42 Konsa, Li te kòmande nou pou preche a pèp la, epi solanèlman, temwaye ke Li se Sila a ki te nome pa Bondye, kòm Jij a vivan e a mò yo.
He commanded us to preach to the people and to testify that this is the one who is appointed by God as the judge of the living and the dead.
43 “A Li menm, tout pwofèt yo pote temwayaj, ke selon non Li tout moun ki kwè nan Li resevwa padon pou peche yo.”
All the prophets testify about him, that through his name everyone who believes in him receives forgiveness of sins."
44 Pandan Pierre te toujou ap pale pawòl sa yo, Lespri Sen an te tonbe sou tout sila yo ki t ap koute mesaj la.
While Peter was still speaking these words, the Holy Spirit fell on all those who heard the word.
45 Tout kwayan sikonsi ki te vini avèk Pierre yo te etone paske don Lespri Sen an te vèse sou etranje yo tou.
They of the circumcision who believed were amazed, as many as came with Peter, because the gift of the Holy Spirit was also poured out on the non-Jewish people.
46 Paske yo te tande yo pale an lang, e egzalte Bondye. Alò, Pierre te reponn:
For they heard them speaking in other tongues and magnifying God. Then Peter answered,
47 “Èske pèsòn kapab refize dlo pou sa yo ta kapab batize, sila ki te resevwa Lespri Sen an, menm jan ak nou?”
"Can anyone withhold the water, that these who have received the Holy Spirit as well as we should not be baptized?"
48 Epi li te kòmande yo pou batize nan non Jésus Kri. Alò, yo te mande li pou rete la avèk yo pandan kèk jou.
He commanded them to be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ. Then they asked him to stay some days.
