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.
But the apostles and brethren being throughout Judea heard that the Gentiles also 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 tip to Jerusalem, those of the circumcision interviewed him, say
3 Yo t ap di: “Ou te ale kote moun ensikonsi yo, e te manje avèk yo.”
that, You went in unto men having uncircumcision, 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 beginning expounded unto them consecutively, 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 praying in the city Joppa: and I saw a vision in an ecstasy, A certain vessel, like a great sheet, descending from the heaven, sitting down by four rope ends; and came even unto 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.
into which looking, I was investigating, and I saw quadrupeds of the earth, and wild beasts, and creeping things, and the birds of the heaven.
7 Konsa, mwen te tande yon vwa ki te di m: ‘Leve Pierre; touye e manje.’
And I also heard a voice saying to me, Arising, Peter; slay and eat.
8 “Men mwen te di: ‘Non Senyè, paske anyen ki pa sen, oswa ki pa pwòp pa janm antre nan bouch mwen.’
And I said, By no means, Lord: because nothing unconsecrated or unclean has ever entered into 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.’
And a voice a second time was heard from heaven, Whatsoever things God has cleansed, consider thou not unconsecrated.
10 Sa te fèt twa fwa, epi tout bagay yo te rale monte ankò nan syèl la.
And this took place three times: and all things were again taken up into the 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, immediately three men were standing at the house in which we were, having been sent to me from Cornelius.
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 said to me, to go with them, doubting nothing. And these six brethren went along with me, and we entered into the house of the man.
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 proclaimed to us how he saw an angel standing in his house, and saying, Send to Joppa, and call for Simon, who is called Peter;
14 Li va pale nou pawòl yo. Ak yo menm nou va sove, nou menm avèk tout lakay nou.’
who will speak words to you, by which you and your whole family may 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 when I began to speak, the Holy Ghost 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.’
And I remembered the word of the Lord, as He said, John indeed baptized with water; but you shall be baptized with the Holy Ghost.
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?”
Since then God gave unto them the equal gift, as also unto us, believing on the Lord Jesus Christ; who was I, to be able to resist 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 hearing these things, they acquiesced, and glorified God, saying, Then God has also given unto the Gentiles repentance unto 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.
Then indeed those having been dispersed abroad on account of the persecution prevailing over Stephen came through even to Phoenicia, and Cyprus, and Antioch, speaking the word to no one except Jews only.
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.
And of them there were certain Cyprian and Cyrenean men, who, having come into Antioch, were speaking to the Greeks also, preaching the gospel of 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 having believed, turned to the Lord.
22 Nouvèl yo te rive nan zòrèy a legliz la nan Jérusalem, e yo te voye Barnabas Antioche.
And the word was heard in the ears of the church in Jerusalem concerning them: and they sent Barnabas to 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.
Who, coming, and seeing the grace of God, rejoiced, and continued to exhort all, with purpose of heart to abide with 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.
because he was a good man, and full of the Holy Ghost and faith. And a great multitude was added to the Lord.
25 Barnabas te kite Tarse pou ale jwenn Saul.
And he went away to Tarsus, to hunt up Saul: and having found him, led him to Antioch.
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 it happened unto them, a whole year indeed they assembled in the church, and taught a great multitude: and the disciples were first called Christians in Antioch.
27 Alò nan tan sa a, kèk pwofèt te sòti Jérusalem pou rive Antioche.
And during 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 by name Agabus, standing up, signified through the Spirit that there is about to be a great famine throughout the whole world: which took place under the reign 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 they determined that each one of them should send to the ministry to the brethren dwelling in Judea, as each one of the disciples was prosperous;
30 Se konsa yo te fè, e te voye l pa men Barnabas ak Saul pou livre bay ansyen yo.
and this they did, sending to the elders by the hands of Barnabas and Saul.
