Travay 13
1 Alò te gen nan Antioche, nan legliz ki te la a, pwofèt ak mèt yo; Barnabas ak Simon ki te rele Niger, ak Lucius de Cyrène, ak Manaen ki te grandi avèk Hérode, tetrak la (youn nan kat wa yo), ak Saul.
NOW there were in the church that was at Antioch certain prophets and teachers; as Barnabas, and Simeon that was called Niger, and Lucius of Cyrene, and Manaen, which had been brought up with Herod the tetrarch, and Saul.
2 Pandan yo t ap fè sèvis pou Senyè a, e t ap jene, Lespri Sen an te di: “Mete apa pou Mwen Barnabas ak Saul, pou travay ke mwen rele yo a.”
As they ministered to the Lord, and fasted, the Holy Ghost said, Separate me Barnabas and Saul for the work whereunto I have called them.
3 Alò, lè yo te fin fè jèn nan ak lapriyè, yo te poze men sou yo e te voye yo ale.
And when they had fasted and prayed, and laid their hands on them, they sent them away.
4 Konsa, ranvoye pa Lespri Sen an, yo te desann Séleucie. Depi la yo te pran yon bato pou Chypre.
So they, being sent forth by the Holy Ghost, departed unto Seleucia; and from thence they sailed to Cyprus.
5 Lè yo te rive Salamine, yo te kòmanse pwoklame pawòl Bondye a nan sinagòg Jwif yo. Anplis Jean te la pou ede yo.
And when they were at Salamis, they preached the word of God in the synagogues of the Jews: and they had also John to their minister.
6 Lè yo te fin travèse tout lil la, jis rive nan Paphos yo twouve yon sèten majisyen Jwif, yon fo pwofèt ke yo te rele Bar-Jésus
And when they had gone through the isle unto Paphos, they found a certain sorcerer, a false prophet, a Jew, whose name was Bar-jesus:
7 ki te avèk pwokonsil la, Sergius Paulus, yon nonm byen entèlijan. Mesye sa te rele Barnabas avèk Saul pou vini pou l ta kapab tande pawòl Bondye a.
Which was with the deputy of the country, Sergius Paulus, a prudent man; who called for Barnabas and Saul, and desired to hear the word of God.
8 Men majisyen an, Elymas (se konsa non li tradwi) t ap opoze yo, e t ap chache detounen pwokonsil la kont lafwa a.
But Elymas the sorcerer (for so is his name by interpretation) withstood them, seeking to turn away the deputy from the faith.
9 Men Saul, ki te osi konnen kon Paul, ranpli avèk Lespri Sen an, te fikse zye li sou li.
Then Saul, (who also is called Paul, ) filled with the Holy Ghost, set his eyes on him,
10 Li te di: “Ou menm ki ranpli ak desepsyon ak fwod, ou menm fis a dyab la, ou menm lènmi a tout ladwati, èske ou p ap janm sispann fè kwochi chemen dwat a Senyè a?
And said, O full of all subtilty and all mischief, thou child of the devil, thou enemy of all righteousness, wilt thou not cease to pervert the right ways of the Lord?
11 Koulye a, gade byen men Bondye sou ou, ou va vin avèg e ou p ap wè solèy la pandan yon tan.” Imedyatman, yon brouya avèk yon fènwa te tonbe sou li, e li te ale toupatou pou chache moun pou ta mennen l pa lamen.
And now, behold, the hand of the Lord is upon thee, and thou shalt be blind, not seeing the sun for a season. And immediately there fell on him a mist and a darkness; and he went about seeking some to lead him by the hand.
12 Answit, pwokonsil la te vin kwè lè li te wè sa ki te rive a, byen etone de doktrin Senyè a.
Then the deputy, when he saw what was done, believed, being astonished at the doctrine of the Lord.
13 Alò, Paul avèk konpanyon li yo te monte sou lanmè a soti Paphos. Yo te rive nan vil Perge nan Pamphylie. Jean te kite yo la pou retounen Jérusalem.
Now when Paul and his company loosed from Paphos, they came to Perga in Pamphylia: and John departing from them returned to Jerusalem.
14 Men kontinye soti Perge yo te rive Antioche Pisidie a. Nan jou Saba a yo te antre nan sinagòg la, e yo te chita.
But when they departed from Perga, they came to Antioch in Pisidia, and went into the synagogue on the sabbath day, and sat down.
15 Aprè Lalwa ak Pwofèt yo te fin li, ofisye yo te voye kote yo e te di: “Frè yo, si nou gen nenpòt pawòl pou egzòte pèp la, pale.”
And after the reading of the law and the prophets the rulers of the synagogue sent unto them, saying, Ye men and brethren, if ye have any word of exhortation for the people, say on.
16 Paul te kanpe. Li te fè sinyal avèk men l, e te di: “Lezòm Israël yo, ak nou menm ki krent Bondye, koute:
Then Paul stood up, and beckoning with his hand said, Men of Israel, and ye that fear God, give audience.
17 Bondye a pèp Israël sa a te chwazi zansèt nou yo, e te fè pèp la onore pandan sejou yo nan peyi Égypte. Epi avèk yon bra leve Li te mennen yo sòti ladann.
The God of this people of Israel chose our fathers, and exalted the people when they dwelt as strangers in the land of Egypt, and with an high arm brought he them out of it.
18 Pandan anviwon yon tan de karant ane, konsa, li te sipòte yo nan dezè a.
And about the time of forty years suffered he their manners in the wilderness.
19 “Lè L te fin detwi sèt nasyon nan tè Canaan an, Li te divize tè pa yo a kòm eritaj. Sa te pran anviwon kat san senkant ane.
And when he had destroyed seven nations in the land of Chanaan, he divided their land to them by lot.
20 Apre bagay sa yo, Li te bay yo jij yo jiska Samuel, pwofèt la.
And after that he gave unto them judges about the space of four hundred and fifty years, until Samuel the prophet.
21 “Yo te mande pou yon wa, epi Bondye te bay yo Saul, Fis a Kis la, yon nonm nan tribi Benjamin an pou karant ane.
And afterward they desired a king: and God gave unto them Saul the son of Cis, a man of the tribe of Benjamin, by the space of forty years.
22 “Lè L te fin retire li, Li te fè leve David pou l ta kapab wa sou yo. Selon Li, te temwaye e te di: ‘Mwen twouve David, fis a Jessé a, yon nonm selon pwòp kè Mwen ki va fè tout volonte M’.
And when he had removed him, he raised up unto them David to be their king; to whom also he gave testimony, and said, I have found David the son of Jesse, a man after mine own heart, which shall fulfil all my will.
23 “Soti nan desandan a nonm sila a, selon pwomès la, Bondye te fè vini a Israël yon Sovè, Jésus.
Of this man’s seed hath God according to his promise raised unto Israel a Saviour, Jesus:
24 “Avan Li te vini Jean te preche yon batèm repantans pou tout pèp Israël la.
When John had first preached before his coming the baptism of repentance to all the people of Israel.
25 Alò, pandan Jean t ap konplete pakou li, li te kontinye ap mande: ‘Kisa nou sipoze ke mwen ye? Mwen se pa Li menm nan. Men gade byen, youn ap vini aprè mwen e sapat a pye li, mwen pa menm dign pou delase.
And as John fulfilled his course, he said, Whom think ye that I am? I am not he. But, behold, there cometh one after me, whose shoes of his feet I am not worthy to loose.
26 “Frè yo, Fis a fanmi Abraham yo, sila pami nou ki krent Bondye yo, a nou mesaj sali sila a voye.
Men and brethren, children of the stock of Abraham, and whosoever among you feareth God, to you is the word of this salvation sent.
27 Paske sila ki rete Jérusalem yo, avèk gouvernè pa yo, pa t rekonèt ni Li menm, ni pawòl a pwofèt yo, malgre, yo konn li toupatou chak Saba a. Men yo te akonpli bagay sa yo lè yo te kondane Li.
For they that dwell at Jerusalem, and their rulers, because they knew him not, nor yet the voices of the prophets which are read every sabbath day, they have fulfilled them in condemning him.
28 Malgre yo pa t twouve okenn choz ki merite lanmò, yo te mande Pilate pou li ta fè l mouri.
And though they found no cause of death in him, yet desired they Pilate that he should be slain.
29 Epi lè yo te fin akonpli tout sa ki te ekri konsènan Li yo, yo te retire Li sou kwa a, e yo te mete l nan yon tonm.
And when they had fulfilled all that was written of him, they took him down from the tree, and laid him in a sepulchre.
30 “Men Bondye te leve Li soti nan lanmò.
But God raised him from the dead:
31 Konsa, pandan anpil jou, sa yo ki te sòti Galilée pou monte Jérusalem avè L yo, te wè li, menm sila yo ki koulye a se temwen Li a pèp la.
And he was seen many days of them which came up with him from Galilee to Jerusalem, who are his witnesses unto the people.
32 “Konsa, nou preche a nou menm bòn nouvèl a pwomès ki te fèt a zansèt nou yo,
And we declare unto you glad tidings, how that the promise which was made unto the fathers,
33 ke Bondye te akonpli pou zanfan pa nou yo, lè l te resisite Jésus a, menm jan ke sa osi ekri nan dezyèm Sòm nan: ‘Ou se Fis Mwen; jodi a Mwen fè Ou.’
God hath fulfilled the same unto us their children, in that he hath raised up Jesus again; as it is also written in the second psalm, Thou art my Son, this day have I begotten thee.
34 “Selon reyalite ke Li te leve soti nan lanmò, pou l pa ankò retounen nan pouriti, Li te pale konsa: ‘Mwen va bannou benediksyon a David ki sen e byen asire yo.’
And as concerning that he raised him up from the dead, now no more to return to corruption, he said on this wise, I will give you the sure mercies of David.
35 “Konsa, Li pale osi nan yon lòt Sòm ke ‘Ou p ap kite pa W, Sila Ki Sen an, sibi pouriti.’
Wherefore he saith also in another psalm, Thou shalt not suffer thine Holy One to see corruption.
36 “Paske David, apre li te sèvi plan Bondye a nan jenerasyon pa l la, te dòmi. Li te vin plase pami zansèt li yo, e li te sibi dekonpozisyon.
For David, after he had served his own generation by the will of God, fell on sleep, and was laid unto his fathers, and saw corruption:
37 Men Sila ke Bondye te fè leve a, pa t sibi dekonpozisyon menm.
But he, whom God raised again, saw no corruption.
38 “Konsa, kite sa vin konnen a nou menm, frè yo, ke atravè Li menm, padon pou peche yo pwoklame a nou menm.
Be it known unto you therefore, men and brethren, that through this man is preached unto you the forgiveness of sins:
39 Selon Li menm, tout moun ki kwè yo, vin lib de tout bagay ke nou pa t kapab libere pa Lalwa Moïse la.
And by him all that believe are justified from all things, from which ye could not be justified by the law of Moses.
40 “Konsa, fè atansyon, pou sa ki te pale nan pwofèt yo pa vini sou nou:
Beware therefore, lest that come upon you, which is spoken of in the prophets;
41 ‘Gade byen mokè yo; Vin etone, e peri! Paske M ap acheve yon zèv nan jou nou yo, yon zèv ke nou p ap janm kwè, menmsi yon moun ta eksplike nou li.’”
Behold, ye despisers, and wonder, and perish: for I work a work in your days, a work which ye shall in no wise believe, though a man declare it unto you.
42 Pandan Paul ak Barnabas t ap sòti, pèp la te kontinye mande pou yo ta kapab pale yo bagay sa yo ankò nan pwochen Saba a.
And when the Jews were gone out of the synagogue, the Gentiles besought that these words might be preached to them the next sabbath.
43 Alò, lè sinagòg la te lage, anpil nan Jwif yo ak pèp etranje ki te vin krent Bondye yo, te swiv Paul ak Barnabas. Yo te pale avèk yo pou ankouraje yo kontinye nan gras Bondye a.
Now when the congregation was broken up, many of the Jews and religious proselytes followed Paul and Barnabas: who, speaking to them, persuaded them to continue in the grace of God.
44 Nan pwochen Saba a, prèske tout vil la te vin rasanble pou koute pawòl Bondye a.
And the next sabbath day came almost the whole city together to hear the word of God.
45 Men lè Jwif yo te wè foul la, yo te ranpli avèk jalouzi, e yo te kòmanse pale kont bagay ke Paul te pale yo, e t ap fè blasfèm.
But when the Jews saw the multitudes, they were filled with envy, and spake against those things which were spoken by Paul, contradicting and blaspheming.
46 Paul ak Barnabas te pale avèk gwo kouraj. Yo te di: “Li te nesesè pou pawòl Bondye a ta pale a nou menm avan. Men akoz ke nou refize l, e jije pwòp tèt nou endign pou lavi etènèl la, gade byen n ap vire bò kote pèp etranje yo. (aiōnios g166)
Then Paul and Barnabas waxed bold, and said, It was necessary that the word of God should first have been spoken to you: but seeing ye put it from you, and judge yourselves unworthy of everlasting life, lo, we turn to the Gentiles. (aiōnios g166)
47 Paske konsa Senyè a te kòmande nou: ‘Mwen plase nou kòm yon limyè pou pèp etranje yo, pou nou ta pote delivrans jiska dènye ekstremite tè a.’”
For so hath the Lord commanded us, saying, I have set thee to be a light of the Gentiles, that thou shouldest be for salvation unto the ends of the earth.
48 Lè pèp etranje yo te tande sa, yo te kòmanse rejwi e t ap bay glwa a pawòl Bondye a. Konsa, tout sila ki te nome pou lavi etènèl yo te kwè. (aiōnios g166)
And when the Gentiles heard this, they were glad, and glorified the word of the Lord: and as many as were ordained to eternal life believed. (aiōnios g166)
49 Pawòl Senyè a te gaye nan tout rejyon an.
And the word of the Lord was published throughout all the region.
50 Men Jwif yo te chofe fanm fidèl yo, ak chèf ki t ap dirije vil yo, pou fòmante yon pèsekisyon kont Paul ak Barnabas, e te chase yo deyò teritwa yo.
But the Jews stirred up the devout and honourable women, and the chief men of the city, and raised persecution against Paul and Barnabas, and expelled them out of their coasts.
51 Men yo te souke pousyè a, fè l sòti nan pye yo, kòm yon sign kont yo, e yo te ale Icone.
But they shook off the dust of their feet against them, and came unto Iconium.
52 Epi disip yo te kontinye ranpli avèk jwa, e avèk Lespri Sen an.
And the disciples were filled with joy, and with the Holy Ghost.
