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.
Now the emissaries and the brothers who were in Judea heard that the Gentiles had 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.
When Peter had come 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:
But Peter began, and explained to 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 in a trance I saw a vision: a certain container descending, like it was a great sheet let down from heaven by four corners. It came as far as 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 intently at it, I considered, and saw the four-footed animals of the earth, wild animals, creeping things, and birds of the sky.
7 Konsa, mwen te tande yon vwa ki te di m: ‘Leve Pierre; touye e manje.’
I also 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, ‘Not so, Lord, for nothing unholy 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.’
But a voice answered me the second time out of heaven, ‘What God has cleansed, don’t you call unclean.’
10 Sa te fèt twa fwa, epi tout bagay yo te rale monte ankò nan syèl la.
This was done three times, and all were 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.
Behold, immediately three men stood before the house where I was, having been sent from Caesarea to me.
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.
The Spirit told me to go with them without discriminating. These six brothers also accompanied me, and we entered into 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.
He told us how he had seen the angel standing in his house and saying to him, ‘Send to Joppa and get 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 to you words by which you will be saved, you and all your house.’
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.
As I began to speak, the Holy Spirit fell on them, even 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.’
I remembered the word of the Lord, how he said, ‘Yochanan indeed immersed in water, but you will 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 to them the same gift as us when we believed in the Lord Yeshua the Messiah, who 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.”
When they heard these things, they held their peace and glorified God, saying, “Then God has also granted to the Gentiles repentance 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.
They therefore who were scattered abroad by the oppression that arose about Stephen travelled as far as Phoenicia, Cyprus, and Antioch, speaking the word to no one except to 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.
But there were some of them, men of Cyprus and Cyrene, who, when they had come to Antioch, spoke to the Hellenists, proclaiming the Lord Yeshua.
21 Men la a Senyè a te avèk yo, e yon gran kantite ki te kwè te vire vè Senyè a.
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.
The report concerning them came to the ears of the assembly which was in Jerusalem. 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.
who, when he had come, and had seen the grace of God, was glad. He exhorted them all, that with purpose of heart they should remain near 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 many people were added to the Lord.
25 Barnabas te kite Tarse pou ale jwenn Saul.
Barnabas went out to Tarsus to look 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.
When he had found him, he brought him to Antioch. For a whole year they were gathered together with the assembly, and taught many people. The disciples were first called Messianic in Antioch.
27 Alò nan tan sa a, kèk pwofèt te sòti Jérusalem pou rive Antioche.
Now in these days, prophets came down 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.
One of them named Agabus stood up and indicated by the Spirit that there should be a great famine all over the world, which also happened 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.
As any of the disciples had plenty, each determined to send relief to the brothers who lived in Judea;
30 Se konsa yo te fè, e te voye l pa men Barnabas ak Saul pou livre bay ansyen yo.
which they also did, sending it to the elders by the hands of Barnabas and Saul.
