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 at Antioch, several prophets and teachers; Barnabas, and Simon called Niger, and Lucius who was from the city Cyrene, and Menaen, a son of the guardians 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.”
And while they were fasting and making supplication to God, the Holy Spirit said to them: Separate to me Saul and Barnabas, 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.
And after they had fasted and prayed, they laid the hand on them, and sent them away.
4 Konsa, ranvoye pa Lespri Sen an, yo te desann Séleucie. Depi la yo te pran yon bato pou Chypre.
And they, being sent forth by the Holy Spirit, went down to Seleucia, and from there they went by sea as far as 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 entered the city of Salamis, they announced the word of our Lord in the synagogues of the Jews. And John ministered to them.
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 travelled over the whole island as far as the city Paphos, they found a certain man, a sorcerer, a Jew, who was a false prophet, and whose name was Bar-Suma.
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.
He adhered to a wise man, who was the proconsul, and was called Sergius Paulus. And the proconsul sent for Saul and Barnabas, and requested to hear from them 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.
And this sorcerer, Bar-Suma, (whose name is interpreted, Elymas, ) withstood them; because he wished to divert 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.
And Saul who is called Paul, was filled with the Holy Spirit; and he looked upon 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 thou full of all subtilties, and all mischiefs, thou child of the calumniator, and 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, the hand of the Lord is upon thee, and thou shalt be blind, and shalt not see the sun for a time. And immediately there fell upon him a mist and darkness; and he went about, inquiring who would take 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.
And when the proconsul saw what occurred, he was astonished; and he believed 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.
And Paul and Barnabas went by sea, from the city of Paphos, and came to Perga, a city of Pamphylia. And John separated from them, and went away 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.
And they departed from Perga, and came to Antioch, a city of Pisidia: and they entered 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 law had been read, and the prophets, the Elders of the synagogue sent to them, and said: Men, brethren, if ye have a word of exhortation, address the people.
16 Paul te kanpe. Li te fè sinyal avèk men l, e te di: “Lezòm Israël yo, ak nou menm ki krent Bondye, koute:
And Paul arose, and waved his hand, and said: Men, sons of Israel, and ye that fear God, hear ye.
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 chose our fathers, and raised them up, and multiplied them, when they resided in the land of Egypt; and, with a high arm, he brought them out of it.
18 Pandan anviwon yon tan de karant ane, konsa, li te sipòte yo nan dezè a.
And he fed them in the wilderness forty years.
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 he extirpated seven nations in the land of Canaan, and gave them their land for an inheritance.
20 Apre bagay sa yo, Li te bay yo jij yo jiska Samuel, pwofèt la.
And for four hundred and fifty years 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.
And then they asked for themselves a king: and God gave them Saul the son of Kish, a man of the tribe of Benjamin, during 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 he removed him, and raised up to them David as king: and he testified of him, and said: I have found David the son of Jesse, a man after my heart: he will do all my pleasure.
23 “Soti nan desandan a nonm sila a, selon pwomès la, Bondye te fè vini a Israël yon Sovè, Jésus.
From the seed of this man, hath God raised up to Israel, as he promised, Jesus a deliverer.
24 “Avan Li te vini Jean te preche yon batèm repantans pou tout pèp Israël la.
And, before his advent, he sent John to proclaim 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 while John was fulfilling his ministry, he said: Who, suppose ye, that I am? I am not he. But lo, he cometh after me; of whom I am not worthy to untie his shoe-strings.
26 “Frè yo, Fis a fanmi Abraham yo, sila pami nou ki krent Bondye yo, a nou mesaj sali sila a voye.
Men, brethren, children of the stock of Abraham, and all who, with you, fear God, to you is this word of life 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, those inhabitants of Jerusalem and their chiefs, did not apprehend it; neither did they apprehend also the writings of the prophets, which are read every sabbath; but they condemned him, and fulfilled all the things written.
28 Malgre yo pa t twouve okenn choz ki merite lanmò, yo te mande Pilate pou li ta fè l mouri.
And while they found no ground for his death, they desired of Pilate that they might kill him.
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 concerning him, they took him down from the cross, 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, by them who came up with him from Galilee to Jerusalem; and they are now his witnesses to the people.
32 “Konsa, nou preche a nou menm bòn nouvèl a pwomès ki te fèt a zansèt nou yo,
And lo, we also announce to you, that the promise, which was made to our 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.’
lo, God hath fulfilled it to us their children, in that he raised up Jesus; as it is 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 God hath so raised him from the dead, that he will not return again and see corruption; as he said: I will give to you the sure grace of David.
35 “Konsa, Li pale osi nan yon lòt Sòm ke ‘Ou p ap kite pa W, Sila Ki Sen an, sibi pouriti.’
And again he said, in another place: Thou hast not given thy devout 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, in his generation, served the pleasure of God, and went to rest, and was added to his fathers, and saw corruption.
37 Men Sila ke Bondye te fè leve a, pa t sibi dekonpozisyon menm.
But this person, whom God raised up, did not see corruption.
38 “Konsa, kite sa vin konnen a nou menm, frè yo, ke atravè Li menm, padon pou peche yo pwoklame a nou menm.
Know therefore, brethren, that through this man remission of sins is proclaimed to you.
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 every one that believeth in this man, is made just from all things, from which ye could not be made just 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 written 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, which ye will not believe, though a man relate 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.
And when they had gone from them, they besought them to speak the same things to them the next sabbath day.
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.
And when the synagogue was dismissed, many Jews went after them, and likewise proselytes who feared God. And they conversed with them, and persuaded them to adhere to 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, the whole city assembled 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.
And when the Jews saw the great assembly, they were filled with envy, and set them selves against the words which Paul spoke, and blasphemed.
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)
And Paul and Barnabas said openly: To you first, ought the word of God to be spoken; but because ye repel it from you, and decide, against yourselves, that ye are not worthy of life eternal, lo, we turn ourselves 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 our Lord commanded us; as it is written: I have set thee a light to the Gentiles; that thou shouldst be for life 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 rejoiced and glorified God. And those believed, who were appointed to life eternal. (aiōnios g166)
49 Pawòl Senyè a te gaye nan tout rejyon an.
And the word of the Lord was talked of in all that 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 chiefs of the city, and the opulent women who with them feared God, and set up a persecution against Paul and against Barnabas, and expelled them from 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.
And when they went out, they shook off the dust of their feet against them, and went to the city of 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 Spirit.
