Travay 16
1 Paul te vini osi nan Derbe ak Lystre. Yon disip yo te rele Timothée te la, Fis a yon fanm Jwif ki te yon kwayan, men papa li te yon Grèk.
Then he came to Derbe and Lystra: and, behold, a certain disciple was there, named Timothy, the son of a certain woman, who was a Jewess, and believed; but his father was a Greek:
2 Tout frè fidèl ki te nan Lystre avèk Icone yo te pale byen de li.
Who was well reported of by the brethren that were at Lystra and Iconium.
3 Paul te vle Timothée ale avè l. Pou rezon sa a, li te fè li sikonsi, akoz Jwif ki te nan landwa sila yo. Paske yo tout te konnen ke papa l se te yon Grèk.
Him would Paul have to go forth with him; and took and circumcised him because of the Jews who were in those quarters: for they all knew that his father was a Greek.
4 Alò, pandan yo t ap travèse vil yo, yo t ap livre bay desizyon a ki te detèmine pa apòt yo ak ansyen yo nan Jérusalem.
And as they went through the cities, they delivered to them the decrees to keep, that were ordained by the apostles and elders who were at Jerusalem.
5 Donk legliz yo t ap ranfòse nan lafwa, e yo t ap grandi an nonb chak jou.
And so were the churches established in the faith, and increased in number daily.
6 Yo te travèse rejyon a Phrygie ak Galatie, akoz ke yo te anpeche pa Lespri Sen an pou pale pawòl la an Asie.
Now when they had gone throughout Phrygia and the region of Galatia, and were forbidden by the Holy Spirit to preach the word in Asia,
7 Lè yo te vini Mysie, yo te eseye antre Bithynie, men Lespri Jésus a pa t pèmèt yo.
After they had come to Mysia, they tried to go into Bithynia: but the Spirit allowed them not.
8 Lè yo te kite Mysie, yo te desann Troas.
And they passing by Mysia came down to Troas.
9 Konsa, yon vizyon te parèt a Paul nan nwit lan. Yon sèten mesye Macédoine te kanpe e t ap di l: “Vin Macédoine pou ede nou.”
And a vision appeared to Paul in the night; There stood a man of Macedonia, beseeching him, saying, Come over into Macedonia, and help us.
10 Lè li te wè vizyon an, imedyatman nou te chache ale Macédoine, byen konprann ke Bondye te rele nou pou preche levanjil la a yo menm.
And after he had seen the vision, immediately we endeavoured to go into Macedonia, assuredly gathering that the Lord had called us to preach the gospel to them.
11 Donk, nou te pran vwal sou lanmè soti Troas. Nou te kouri tou dwat pou Samothrace, e nan jou swivan an, pou Néapolis.
Therefore loosing from Troas, we came with a straight course to Samothracia, and the next day to Neapolis;
12 Nou te kite la pou Philippes, yon vil prensipal nan distri Macédoine nan, yon koloni Women. Nou te rete nan vil sa pandan kèk jou.
And from there to Philippi, which is the chief city of that part of Macedonia, and a colony: and we were in that city abiding certain days.
13 Nan jou Saba a, nou te ale deyò pòtay la bò kote yon rivyè kote nou te sipoze ta genyen yon kote pou lapriyè. Nou te chita e te kòmanse pale ak fanm ki te vin rasanble la yo.
And on the sabbath day we went out of the city by a river side, where prayer was accustomed to be made; and we sat down, and spoke to the women who resorted there.
14 Yon sèten fanm yo te rele Lydie, ki te sòti nan vil Thyatire, yon machann twal mov, yon adoratris Bondye, te tande nou. Senyè a te louvri kè l pou reponn a bagay ke Paul t ap pale yo.
And a certain woman named Lydia, a seller of purple, of the city of Thyatira, who worshipped God, heard us: whose heart the Lord opened, that she attended to the things which were spoken by Paul.
15 Lè li menm ak tout lakay li te batize, li te ankouraje nou e te di: “Si nou jije mwen fidèl a Senyè a, vin lakay mwen pou rete.” E li te konvenk nou de sa.
And when she was baptized, and her household, she besought us, saying, If ye have judged me to be faithful to the Lord, come into my house, and abide there. And she constrained us.
16 Li te vin rive ke pandan nou t ap ale nan plas lapriyè a, te gen yon sèten jenn fanm-esklav avèk yon Lespri divinasyon. Li te konn fè anpil kòb pou mèt li yo akoz ke li te konn pale moun davans sa ki t ap rive yo.
And it came to pass, as we went to prayer, a certain maid possessed with a spirit of divination met us, who brought her masters much gain by soothsaying:
17 Li te swiv Paul avèk nou menm, e li t ap kriye fò san sès, e t ap di: “Mesye sa yo se sèvitè yo a Bondye Trè Wo a, k ap pwoklame a nou menm, youn chemen sali a.”
The same followed Paul and us, and cried, saying, These men are the servants of the most high God, who show to us the way of salvation.
18 Li te kontinye ap fè sa pandan anpil jou. Men Paul te vrèman enève. Li te vire e te di a Lespri a: “Mwen kòmande ou nan non Jésus Kri a pou sòti nan li!” E lespri a te sòti de li nan menm moman an.
And this she did many days. But Paul, being grieved, turned and said to the spirit, I command thee in the name of Jesus Christ to come out of her. And he came out the same hour.
19 Men lè mèt li yo te wè ke tout espwa yo pou fè kòb te disparèt, yo te sezi Paul ak Silas. Yo te trennen yo nan mache a devan otorite yo.
And when her masters saw that the hope of their gains was gone, they caught Paul and Silas, and drew them into the marketplace to the rulers,
20 Lè yo te mennen yo a chèf majistra yo, yo te di: “Mesye sa yo se Jwif yo k ap boulvèse vil nou an.
And brought them to the magistrates, saying, These men, being Jews, do exceedingly trouble our city,
21 Y ap pwoklame koutim ki pa pèmèt pou nou aksepte ni obsève kòm Women.”
And teach customs, which are not lawful for us to receive, neither to observe, being Romans.
22 Konsa, foul la te leve ansanm kont yo. Chèf majistra yo te chire rad yo. Yo te kòmande pou yo bat yo avèk baton.
And the multitude rose up together against them: and the magistrates tore off their clothes, and commanded to beat them.
23 Lè yo te fin bay yo anpil kou, yo te jete yo nan prizon, e te kòmande jandam prizon an pou veye yo de prè.
And when they had laid many stripes upon them, they cast them into prison, charging the jailor to keep them safely:
24 Li menm, akoz ke li resevwa lòd sa a, te jete yo nan prizon pa anndan an, e te tache pye yo nan chèn.
Who, having received such a charge, thrust them into the inner prison, and made their feet fast in the stocks.
25 Men anviwon minwi Paul avèk Silas t ap priye e chante chan lwanj a Bondye. Lòt prizonye yo t ap koute yo.
And at midnight Paul and Silas prayed, and sang praises to God: and the prisoners heard them.
26 Konsa, sibitman te vin gen yon gwo tranbleman detè, ki souke menm fondasyon kay prizon an. Imedyatman tout pòt prizon an te vin louvri, e chèn tout moun te vin detache.
And suddenly there was a great earthquake, so that the foundations of the prison were shaken: and immediately all the doors were opened, and every one’s bands were loosed.
27 Jandam prizon an te leve nan dòmi, e lè l te wè tout pòt yo te vin ouvri, li te rale nepe pou touye tèt li, paske li te sipoze ke prizonye yo te chape.
And the keeper of the prison awaking out of his sleep, and seeing the prison doors open, he drew out his sword, and would have killed himself, supposing that the prisoners had fled.
28 Men Paul te kriye ak yon vwa fò pou di l: “Pa fè tèt ou mal! Nou tout la!”
But Paul cried with a loud voice, saying, Do thyself no harm: for we are all here.
29 Jandam nan te rele pou limyè, e te kouri antre ap tranble avèk laperèz. Konsa, li te tonbe devan Paul ak Silas,
Then he called for a light, and sprang in, and came trembling, and fell down before Paul and Silas,
30 te mennen yo deyò, e li te mande yo: “Mesye yo kisa mwen dwe fè pou m ta sove?”
And brought them out, and said, Sirs, what must I do to be saved?
31 Yo te reponn: “Kwè nan Senyè a Jésus, e ou va sove, ou menm avèk lakay ou.”
And they said, Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved, and thy house.
32 Yo te pale li pawòl Senyè a, ansanm ak tout sila ki te lakay li yo.
And they spoke to him the word of the Lord, and to all that were in his house.
33 Li te pran yo nan menm lè nwit sa a, li te lave blesi yo, e imedyatman, li te batize, li menm avèk tout lakay li.
And he took them the same hour of the night, and washed their stripes; and was baptized, he and all his, without delay.
34 Li te mennen yo lakay li e te mete manje devan yo. Li te rejwi anpil, akoz li te kwè nan Bondye avèk tout lakay li.
And when he had brought them into his house, he set food before them, and rejoiced, believing in God with all his house.
35 Alò, lè jounen an te rive, chèf majistra yo te voye jandam yo pou di: “Lage moun sa yo.”
And when it was day, the magistrates sent the officers, saying, Let those men go.
36 Jandam prizon an te fè rapò sa a bay Paul. Li te di: “Chèf majistra yo gen tan voye lage nou. Konsa, vin deyò kounye a e ale anpè.”
And the keeper of the prison told this saying to Paul, The magistrates have sent to let you go: now therefore depart, and go in peace.
37 Men Paul te di yo: “Yo gen tan bat nou an piblik san jijman, moun ki se sitwayen Women, e yo te jete nou nan prizon. Alò, koulye a y ap voye nou ale an sekrè? Anverite, non! Men kite yo vini yo menm, pou mete nou deyò.”
But Paul said to them, They have beaten us openly uncondemned, being Romans, and have cast us into prison; and now do they thrust us out privately? nay verily; but let them come themselves and bring us out.
38 Jandam yo te bay rapò a pawòl sila yo bay chèf majistra yo. Yo te pè lè yo te tande ke se te Women yo te ye.
And the officers told these words to the magistrates: and they feared, when they heard that they were Romans.
39 Yo te vini pou te fè apèl ak yo, e lè yo te fin lage yo, yo te mande yo pou kite vil la.
And they came and besought them, and brought them out, and desired them to depart out of the city.
40 Yo te kite prizon an e te antre lakay Lydie. Lè yo te wè frè yo, yo te ankouraje yo, e yo te pati.
And they went out of the prison, and entered into the house of Lydia: and when they had seen the brethren, they comforted them, and departed.
