Travay 11
1 Alò, apòt yo ak frè fidèl yo ki te nan tout Judée te tande ke pèp etranje yo osi te resevwa pawòl Bondye a.
And the apostles and brethren that were in Judea, heard that the Gentiles also had received the word of God.
2 Men lè Pierre te vin monte Jérusalem, sila ki te sikonsi yo te vin pa dakò avèk li.
And when Peter went up to Jerusalem, those who were of the circumcision contended with him,
3 Yo t ap di: “Ou te ale kote moun ensikonsi yo, e te manje avèk yo.”
saying: You went in to uncircumcised men, and ate with them.
4 Konsa, Pierre te kòmanse eksplike yo istwa a nan lòd ke tout bagay te rive yo. Li te di:
And Peter began, and laid the matter before them in order, saying:
5 “Mwen te nan vil Joppé, e mwen te nan lapriyè. Nan yon pwofon somèy mwen te fè yon vizyon; yon sèten objè ki te vin desann kon yon gwo dra ki kenbe nan kat kwen soti nan syèl la, e li te vini tou dwat devan mwen.
I was in the city of Joppa, praying; and, while in a trance, I saw a vision, some vessel like a great sheet, descending, let down from heaven by the four corners; and it came even to me.
6 Lè m te fikse zye m sou li, e t ap gade l, mwen te wè bèt latè a kat pye, bèt sovaj, reptil, ak zwazo syèl yo.
When I had looked attentively into it, I observed and saw four-footed beasts of the earth, and wild beasts and creeping things and birds of the air.
7 Konsa, mwen te tande yon vwa ki te di m: ‘Leve Pierre; touye e manje.’
And I heard a voice saying to me, Rise, Peter, kill and eat.
8 “Men mwen te di: ‘Non Senyè, paske anyen ki pa sen, oswa ki pa pwòp pa janm antre nan bouch mwen.’
But I said, By no means, Lord; for nothing common or unclean has ever entered my mouth.
9 “Men yon vwa ki soti nan syèl la te reponn yon dezyèm fwa: ‘Sa ke Bondye fè pwòp, pa konsidere l ankò pa sen.’
But the voice answered me a second time from heaven, What God has cleansed, you must not call common.
10 Sa te fèt twa fwa, epi tout bagay yo te rale monte ankò nan syèl la.
This was done the third time, and all was drawn up again into heaven.
11 “Epi gade byen, nan moman sa a, twa mesye ki te voye kote mwen sòti Césarée, te parèt devan kay la kote nou te rete a.
And behold, three men who had been sent to me from Cæsarea, immediately came to the house where I was.
12 “Lespri a te di m ale avèk yo san krent. Sis frè sila yo osi te ale avè m, e nou te antre nan kay mesye a.
And the Spirit commanded me to go with them without hesitation. And these six brethren accompanied me. And we entered the man’s house:
13 “Epi li te rapòte kijan li te wè zanj lan kanpe lakay li a, e te di: ‘Voye Joppé pou fè Simon, ke yo rele osi Pierre, vin isit la.
and he told us how he had seen an angel in his house, standing and saying to him, Send to Joppa and call for Simon, who is surnamed Peter;
14 Li va pale nou pawòl yo. Ak yo menm nou va sove, nou menm avèk tout lakay nou.’
he will tell you words by which you and all your house shall be saved.
15 “Epi lè mwen te kòmanse pale Lespri Sen an te vin tonbe sou yo menm jan ke li te fè sou nou nan kòmansman an.
And as I began to speak, the Holy Spirit fell on them, as on us at the beginning.
16 Konsa, mwen te sonje pawòl Senyè a, jan Li te konn di a: ‘Jean te batize avèk dlo, men nou va batize avèk Lespri Sen an.’
Then I remembered the word of the Lord, as he said, John immersed in water, but you shall be immersed in the Holy Spirit.
17 “Donk, si Bondye te bay yo menm don ak nou, lè nou te vin kwè nan Senyè Jésus Kri a, kilès mwen te ye pou m ta kab anpeche Bondye?”
If, then, God gave them the like gift that he gave to us who believed on the Lord Jesus Christ, what was I, that I could withstand God?
18 Lè yo te tande sa a, yo te vin kalme, e te bay Bondye glwa. Yo te di: “Ebyen konsa, Bondye akòde a lòt nasyon yo tou, repantans ki mennen a lavi a.”
And when they heard these things, they ceased to contend; and they glorified God, saying: Then, indeed, has God given to the Gentiles also repentance in order to life.
19 Answit, moun ki te gaye akoz pèsekisyon ki te leve a, ansanm ak zafè Étienne nan, te fè wout yo pou Phénicie, Chypre, ak Antioche, e yo t ap pale pawòl la a Jwif yo sèlman.
Now those who had been dispersed by the persecution that arose after the death of Stephen, traveled as far as Phenicia and Cyprus and Antioch, speaking the word to none but Jews.
20 Men te gen nan yo, moun Chypre ak Cyrène ki te vini Antioche. E yo te kòmanse pale ak Grèk yo osi, e t ap preche Senyè Jésus a.
But some of them were men of Cyprus and Cyrene, who, when they had come to Antioch, spoke to the Grecians, preaching the Lord Jesus.
21 Men la a Senyè a te avèk yo, e yon gran kantite ki te kwè te vire vè Senyè a.
And the hand of the Lord was with them, and a great number believed, and turned to the Lord.
22 Nouvèl yo te rive nan zòrèy a legliz la nan Jérusalem, e yo te voye Barnabas Antioche.
And the report concerning them came to the ears of the church that was in Jerusalem; and they sent out Barnabas to go as far as Antioch.
23 Konsa, lè l rive, e te wè gras Bondye a, li te rejwi. Li te kòmanse ankouraje yo tout, pou yo avèk yon sèl panse, ta rete fidèl a Senyè a.
When he had come, and had seen the grace of God, he rejoiced; and he exhorted them all to remain, with purpose of heart, faithful to the Lord.
24 Paske li te yon bon moun. Li te ranpli ak Lespri Sen an, ak lafwa. Konsa, anpil moun te adisyonen a Senyè a.
For he was a good man, and full of the Holy Spirit and of faith. And a great multitude was added to the Lord.
25 Barnabas te kite Tarse pou ale jwenn Saul.
And Barnabas went to Tarsus, to seek for Saul;
26 Lè li te twouve li, li te mennen l Antioche. Pandan yon ane antye yo te reyini avèk legliz la, e yo te enstwi anpil moun. Disip yo te premyèman rele “Kretyen” la a, nan Antioche.
and when he had found him, he brought him to Antioch. And it came to pass, that they met together in the church for a whole year, and taught a great multitude; and the disciples were called Christians first at Antioch.
27 Alò nan tan sa a, kèk pwofèt te sòti Jérusalem pou rive Antioche.
In those days prophets came from Jerusalem to Antioch.
28 Youn nan yo ke yo te rele Agabus te kanpe. Li te kòmanse endike pa Lespri a, ke an verite, t ap gen yon gwo grangou nan tout mond lan. Epi se sa menm ki te rive sou règn Claude la.
And one of them, named Agabus, rose and made known, by the Spirit, that a great famine was about to come on the whole habitable land; which took place in the days of Claudius.
29 Epi selon mwayen ke nenpòt disip te genyen, yo chak te detèmine pou voye asistans pou sekou a frè yo nan Judée.
And every one of the disciples determined, as he had the means, to send relief to the brethren that dwelt in Judea;
30 Se konsa yo te fè, e te voye l pa men Barnabas ak Saul pou livre bay ansyen yo.
which also they did; and they sent it to the elders by the hands of Barnabas and Saul.
