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 in the church that was at Antioch there were some prophets and teachers: Barnabas, Simeon who was called Niger, Lucius of Cyrene, Manaen the foster brother of 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 served the Lord and fasted, the Holy Spirit said, "Separate Barnabas and Saul for me, for the work to which 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.
Then, 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, being sent out by the Holy Spirit, they went down to Seleucia. From there 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.
When they were at Salamis, they proclaimed the word of God in the Jewish synagogues. They had also John as their attendant.
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
When they had gone through the whole island as far as Paphos, they found a certain man, a magician, a Jewish false prophet 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.
who was with the proconsul, Sergius Paulus, a man of understanding. This man summoned Barnabas and Saul, and sought 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 aside the proconsul from the faith.
9 Men Saul, ki te osi konnen kon Paul, ranpli avèk Lespri Sen an, te fikse zye li sou li.
But Saul, who is also called Paul, filled with the Holy Spirit, fastened 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, "Full of all deceit and all fraud, you son of the devil, you enemy of all righteousness, will you 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.
Now, look, the hand of the Lord is on you, and you will be blind, unable to see the sun for a time." Immediately a mist and darkness fell on him. He went around seeking someone 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 proconsul, when he saw what was done, believed, being astonished at the teaching 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 Paul and his company set sail from Paphos, and came to Perga in Pamphylia, and John departed from them and 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 they, passing on from Perga, came to Antioch of Pisidia. They 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.”
After the reading of the Law and the Prophets, the rulers of the synagogue sent to them, saying, "Brothers, if you have any word of exhortation for the people, speak."
16 Paul te kanpe. Li te fè sinyal avèk men l, e te di: “Lezòm Israël yo, ak nou menm ki krent Bondye, koute:
Paul stood up, and beckoning with his hand said, "Men of Israel, and you who fear God, listen.
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 Israel chose our fathers, and exalted the people when they stayed as foreigners in the land of Egypt, and with an uplifted arm, he led them out of it.
18 Pandan anviwon yon tan de karant ane, konsa, li te sipòte yo nan dezè a.
For a period of about forty years he put up with them 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.
When he had destroyed seven nations in the land of Canaan, he gave them their land as an inheritance.
20 Apre bagay sa yo, Li te bay yo jij yo jiska Samuel, pwofèt la.
All this took about four hundred and fifty years. And after these things he gave them judges, 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.
Afterward they asked for a king, and God gave to them Saul the son of Kish, a man of the tribe of Benjamin, for 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’.
When he had removed him, he raised up David to be their king, to whom he also testified, 'I have found David the son of Jesse, a man after my heart, who will do all my will.'
23 “Soti nan desandan a nonm sila a, selon pwomès la, Bondye te fè vini a Israël yon Sovè, Jésus.
From this man's offspring, according to his promise, God has brought to Israel a Savior, Jesus,
24 “Avan Li te vini Jean te preche yon batèm repantans pou tout pèp Israël la.
before his coming, when John had first preached 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.
As John was fulfilling his course, he said, 'What do you suppose that I am? I am not he. But look, one comes after me the sandals of whose feet I am not worthy to untie.'
26 “Frè yo, Fis a fanmi Abraham yo, sila pami nou ki krent Bondye yo, a nou mesaj sali sila a voye.
Brothers, children of the stock of Abraham, and those among you who fear God, the word of this salvation is sent out to us.
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 those who dwell in Jerusalem, and their rulers, because they did not know him, nor the voices of the prophets which are read every Sabbath, fulfilled them by condemning him.
28 Malgre yo pa t twouve okenn choz ki merite lanmò, yo te mande Pilate pou li ta fè l mouri.
Though they found no cause for death, they still asked Pilate to have him killed.
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.
When they had fulfilled all things that were written about him, they took him down from the tree, and placed him in a tomb.
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 for many days by those who came up with him from Galilee to Jerusalem, who are his witnesses to the people.
32 “Konsa, nou preche a nou menm bòn nouvèl a pwomès ki te fèt a zansèt nou yo,
We bring you good news of the promise made to 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.’
that God has fulfilled for us, their children, in that he raised up Jesus. As it is also written in the second psalm, 'You are my Son. Today I have become your Father.'
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.’
"Concerning that he raised him up from the dead, now no more to return to corruption, he has spoken thus: 'I will give to you the faithful sacred things of David.'
35 “Konsa, Li pale osi nan yon lòt Sòm ke ‘Ou p ap kite pa W, Sila Ki Sen an, sibi pouriti.’
Therefore he says also in another psalm, 'You will not allow your Holy One to see decay.'
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 in his own generation served the counsel of God, fell asleep, and was placed with his fathers, and saw decay.
37 Men Sila ke Bondye te fè leve a, pa t sibi dekonpozisyon menm.
But he whom God raised up saw no decay.
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 to you therefore, brothers, that through this man is proclaimed to you 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 everyone who believes is justified from all things, from which you 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:
So beware, lest what is said in the Prophets should come about:
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.’”
'Look, you scoffers, and be amazed, and perish; for I am working a work in your days, a work which you will not believe, if one tells it to 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.
So when they went out they urged them to speak about these things on 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 synagogue broke up, many of the Jews and of the devout proselytes followed Paul and Barnabas; who, speaking to them, urged 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.
The next Sabbath almost the whole city was gathered together to hear the word of the Lord.
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 crowds, they were filled with jealousy, and contradicted the things which were spoken by Paul, and reviled him.
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)
Paul and Barnabas spoke out boldly, and said, "It was necessary that God's word should be spoken to you first. Since indeed you thrust it from you, and judge yourselves unworthy of everlasting life, look, we turn to the non-Jewish people. (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 has the Lord commanded us, saying, 'I have set you as a light to the nations, that you may bring salvation to the farthest part 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)
As the non-Jewish people heard this, they were glad, and glorified the word of the Lord. As many as were appointed to everlasting life believed. (aiōnios g166)
49 Pawòl Senyè a te gaye nan tout rejyon an.
The Lord's word was spread abroad 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 women of prominence and the chief men of the city, and stirred up a persecution against Paul and Barnabas, and threw them out of their borders.
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 to Iconium.
52 Epi disip yo te kontinye ranpli avèk jwa, e avèk Lespri Sen an.
The disciples were filled with joy with the Holy Spirit.
