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 there was a certain disciple there, named Timothy, the son of a believing Jewess, but of a Grecian father.
2 Tout frè fidèl ki te nan Lystre avèk Icone yo te pale byen de li.
Who was well spoken of by the brethren 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.
wherefore Paul was desirous that he should go forth with him, and took and circumcised him because of the Jews that were in those parts; 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 passed through the cities, they delivered to them the decrees that had been made by the apostles and elders at Jerusalem.
5 Donk legliz yo t ap ranfòse nan lafwa, e yo t ap grandi an nonb chak jou.
And so the churches were 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.
And when they had passed through Phrygia and Galatia, being forbidden by the holy Spirit to preach the word in Asia, they came to Mysia, and endeavoured to go to Bithynia:
7 Lè yo te vini Mysie, yo te eseye antre Bithynie, men Lespri Jésus a pa t pèmèt yo.
but the Spirit suffered them not.
8 Lè yo te kite Mysie, yo te desann Troas.
So they passed by Mysia, and 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 Paul saw a vision in the night, There stood a certain man of Macedonia, intreating him and 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 as soon as he had seen the vision, immediately we endeavoured to depart into Macedonia, concluding that the Lord 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 we set sail from Troas, and came in a direct course to Samothracia, and the day following 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 thence to Philippi, which is the chief city of that part of Macedonia, and a Roman colony. And we staid some time in this city.
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 to a river-side, where there used to be prayer: and we sat down and preached to the women that resorted thither.
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 purple-seller of the city of Thyatira, who worshipped God, heard us: whose heart the Lord opened to attend to the things that 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 family, she requested us, saying, If ye have judged me to be faithful to the Lord, come into my house, and lodge 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.
Now as we were going to the place of prayer, there met us a young woman that had a spirit of divination, 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.”
She following Paul and us, cried out, saying, These men are the servants of the most high God, who shew 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 for 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.
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 he came out that instant. And when her masters saw, that the hope of their gain was gone, they seized on Paul and Silas, and dragged them into the court to the magistrates.
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 when they brought them to the governors, they said, These men cause great disturbance in our city, for they are Jews, and teach customs,
21 Y ap pwoklame koutim ki pa pèmèt pou nou aksepte ni obsève kòm Women.”
which it is not lawful for us to receive, nor practise, who are 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 populace rose up together against them: and the officers stripped off their clothes, and ordered them to be scourged.
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 given them many stripes, 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 fastened their feet 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.
Now in the middle of the night Paul and Silas were praying and singing 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 on a sudden 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 bonds 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.
The jailor waking, and seeing the prison-doors open, drew his sword and was going to kill himself, thinking that the prisoners were 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 lights, and sprang in, and being in a tremor 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 bringing them out, he 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 thine house.
32 Yo te pale li pawòl Senyè a, ansanm ak tout sila ki te lakay li yo.
And they spake unto him the word of the Lord, and to all in his family.
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 at that very time of the night, and bathed their stripes: and was baptized, he and all his immediately after.
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 he brought them into his house, and spread a table for them, and rejoiced, believing in God with all his household.
35 Alò, lè jounen an te rive, chèf majistra yo te voye jandam yo pou di: “Lage moun sa yo.”
And when it was the day the governors sent the serjeants, 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 jailor told these words to Paul, saying, the governors have sent orders, that you should be discharged; 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 unto them, They have publicly beaten us, uncondemned, and Romans, and cast us into prison, and do they now turn us out privately? No verily, let them come themselves and fetch 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 serjeants reported these words to the governors: and they were afraid 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 intreated them, and when they had brought them out, they desired them to leave 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 when they were come out of the prison, they went into the house of Lydia: and seeing the brethren, they comforted them, and departed.
