Travay 21
1 Lè nou te rive nou te kite yo pou pran bato a vwal. Nou te kouri toudwat pou Cos, jou apre a pou Rhodes, epi soti la a pou Patara.
And when, having got away from them, we at last sailed away, we came by a direct course to Cos, and on the morrow to Rhodes, and thence to Patara.
2 Lè nou te twouve yon bato ki t ap travèse vè Phénicie, nou te monte e pran vwal.
And having found a ship passing over into Phoenicia, we went on board and sailed;
3 Lè nou te vin wè Chip, kite l agoch, e te kontinye kouri bato pou Syrie, e te rive nan Tyr, paske se la bato a te gen pou debake chaj li.
and having sighted Cyprus, and left it on the left hand, we sailed to Syria, and made the land at Tyre, for there the ship was to discharge her cargo.
4 Apre nou fin twouve disip yo, nou te rete la pandan sèt jou. Yo menm te kontinye ap di Paul selon Lespri a pou l pa mete pye l Jérusalem.
And having found out the disciples, we remained there seven days; who said to Paul by the Spirit not to go up to Jerusalem.
5 Lè l rive ke jou nou yo pou rete la te fini, nou te pati fè wout nou, pandan yo menm avèk madanm ak timoun yo te akonpanye nou jiskaske nou te kite vil la. Apre nou te mete nou ajenou bòdmè a pou fè lapriyè, nou te di orevwa a youn lòt.
But when we had completed the days, we set out and took our journey, all of them accompanying us, with wives and children, till [we were] out of the city. And kneeling down upon the shore we prayed.
6 Answit, nou te monte bato a, e yo te retounenlakay yo ankò.
And having embraced one another, we went on board ship, and they returned home.
7 Lè nou te fin fè vwayaj la sòti Tyr, nou te rive Ptolémaïs. Lè nou te fin salye frè yo, nou te rete avèk yo pandan yon jou.
And we, having completed the voyage, arrived from Tyre at Ptolemais, and having saluted the brethren, we remained one day with them.
8 Nan jou apre a nou te sòti e te rive Césarée. Nou te antre lakay Philippe, evanjelis la, ki te youn nan sèt yo. Nou te rete avèk li.
And leaving on the morrow, we came to Caesarea; and entering into the house of Philip the evangelist, who was of the seven, we abode with him.
9 Alò, nonm sa te gen kat fi vyèj ki te pwofetès.
Now this man had four virgin daughters who prophesied.
10 Pandan nou te rete la pandan kèk jou, yon sèten pwofèt ki te nome Agabus te desann sòti Judée.
And as we stayed there many days, a certain man, by name Agabus, a prophet, came down from Judaea,
11 Epi lè l te vini kote nou, li te pran sentiwon a Paul; li te mare pwòp pye l ak men l, e te di: “Men sa ke Lespri Sen an di: Se konsa ke Jwif nan Jérusalem yo va mare nonm ki mete sentiwon sila a e va livre li nan men pèp etranje yo.”
and coming to us and taking the girdle of Paul, and having bound his own hands and feet, said, Thus saith the Holy Spirit, The man whose this girdle is shall the Jews thus bind in Jerusalem, and deliver him up into the hands of [the] Gentiles.
12 Lè nou te tande sa, nou menm, menm jan avèk rezidan lokal yo, nou te kòmanse mande l pou pa monte Jérusalem.
And when we heard these things, both we and those of the place besought [him] not to go up to Jerusalem.
13 Paul te reponn yo: “Kisa nou ap fè la a, n ap kriye pou kase kè m? Paske mwen prepare non sèlman pou m mare, men menm pou m ta mouri Jérusalem pou non Senyè Jésus a.”
But Paul answered, What do ye, weeping and breaking my heart? for I am ready not only to be bound, but also to die at Jerusalem for the name of the Lord Jesus.
14 Epi Akoz ke li pa t kab konvenk, nou te tonbe an silans e t ap di: “Ke volonte a Senyè a fèt!”
And when he would not be persuaded, we were silent, saying, The will of the Lord be done.
15 Apre jou sa yo, nou te prepare pou kòmanse fè wout nou pou monte Jérusalem.
And after these days, having got our effects ready, we went up to Jerusalem.
16 Anplis, Kèk nan disip Césarée yo te vini avèk nou, e te mennen nou kote Mnanson ki sòti Chypre, yon disip depi anpil tan avèk sila nou te vin rete.
And [some] of the disciples from Caesarea went with us, bringing [with them] a certain Mnason, a Cyprian, an old disciple, with whom we were to lodge.
17 Apre nou te rive Jérusalem frè fidèl yo te resevwa nou avèk kè kontan.
And when we arrived at Jerusalem the brethren gladly received us.
18 Jou swivan an Paul te antre avèk nou vè Jacques, epi tout ansyen yo te la.
And on the morrow Paul went in with us to James, and all the elders came there.
19 Apre li te salye yo, li te kòmanse pale youn pa youn, tout bagay ke Bondye te fè pami pèp etranje yo atravè ministè pa li a.
And having saluted them, he related one by one the things which God had wrought among the nations by his ministry.
20 Lè yo te tande sa yo te kòmanse bay glwa a Bondye. Yo te di li: “Ou wè, frè, konbyen milye ki gen pami Jwif yo nan sila ki te kwè yo, e yo tout te ranpli ak zèl pou Lalwa a.
And they having heard [it] glorified God, and said to him, Thou seest, brother, how many myriads there are of the Jews who have believed, and all are zealous of the law.
21 Konsa, yo konn tande de ou, ke w ap enstwi tout Jwif k ap viv pami pèp etranje yo pou renonse a Moïse, e k ap pale yo pou yo pa sikonsi pitit yo, ni pou yo pa mache selon koutim nou yo.
And they have been informed concerning thee, that thou teachest all the Jews among the nations apostasy from Moses, saying that they should not circumcise their children, nor walk in the customs.
22 Alò, kisa ki dwe fèt? Sètènman yo va tande ke ou gen tan vini.
What is it then? a multitude must necessarily come together, for they will hear that thou art come.
23 “Alò, fè sa ke nou di ou a. Nou gen kat mesye ki anba yon ve.
This do therefore that we say to thee: We have four men who have a vow on them;
24 Pran yo avèk ou, pirifye ou menm ansanm avèk yo, e peye depans pou yo kapab taye tèt yo. Konsa, tout moun va konnen ke pa gen anyen nan tout sa ke moun di de ou yo, men ke ou menm osi mache nan lòd, epi swiv Lalwa a.
take these and be purified with them, and pay their expenses, that they may have their heads shaved; and all will know that [of those things] of which they have been informed about thee nothing is [true]; but that thou thyself also walkest orderly, keeping the law.
25 “Men konsènan pèp etranje, ki te kwè yo, nou te ekri selon desizyon nou, ke yo ta dwe evite vyann ki ofri kon sakrifis a zidòl, ak san, ak sa ki toufe, e ak imoralite seksyèl.”
But concerning [those of] the nations who have believed, we have written, deciding that they should [observe no such thing, only to] keep themselves both from things offered to idols, and from blood, and from things strangled, and from fornication.
26 Alò Paul te pran mesye yo avè l nan jou swivan an. Li te pirifye li menm ansanm avèk yo. Yo te antre nan tanp lan e te bay avètisman ke yo t ap konplete jou pirifikasyon yo jiskaske sakrifis la te ofri pou yo chak.
Then Paul, taking the men, on the next day, having been purified, entered with them into the temple, signifying the time the days of the purification would be fulfilled, until the offering was offered for every one of them.
27 Lè sèt jou yo te prèske fini Jwif Asie yo, lè yo te wè l nan tanp lan, te kòmanse soulve foul la pou mete men sou li.
And when the seven days were nearly completed, the Jews from Asia, having seen him in the temple, set all the crowd in a tumult, and laid hands upon him,
28 Yo t ap kriye fò: “Mesye Israël yo, vin bay nou konkou! Sa se mesye ki preche a tout moun kont pèp nou an ak Lalwa a, ak kote sila a. Anplis de sa, li gen tan fè Grèk yo antre nan tanp lan, e te souye lye sen sa a.”
crying, Israelites, help! this is the man who teaches all everywhere against the people, and the law, and this place, and has brought Greeks too into the temple, and profaned this holy place.
29 Paske avan yo te konn wè Trophime, Efezyen an nan vil la avèk li, e yo te sipoze ke Paul te mennen l nan tanp lan.
For they had before seen Trophimus the Ephesian with him in the city, whom they supposed that Paul had brought into the temple.
30 Alò tout vil la te leve, e pèp la te kouri ansanm pou te kenbe Paul. Yo te rale l deyò tanp lan, epi nan menm moman an, pòt yo te vin fèmen.
And the whole city was moved, and there was a concourse of the people; and having laid hold on Paul they drew him out of the temple, and immediately the doors were shut.
31 Pandan yo t ap chache pou touye l, yon rapò te rive devan kòmandan Kowòt Women an, ke tout Jérusalem te boulvèse.
And as they were seeking to kill him, a representation came to the chiliarch of the band that the whole of Jerusalem was in a tumult;
32 Lapoula li te pran sòlda yo avèk santenye yo, e te kouri desann kote yo. Lè yo te wè sòlda yo avèk kòmandan an, yo te sispann bat Paul.
who, taking with him immediately soldiers and centurions, ran down upon them. But they, seeing the chiliarch and the soldiers, ceased beating Paul.
33 Kòmandan an te parèt, e te kenbe li. Li te kòmande pou li mare avèk de chenn, e li te kòmanse mande l ki moun li te ye, ak kisa li fè.
Then the chiliarch came up and laid hold upon him, and commanded [him] to be bound with two chains, and inquired who he might be, and what he had done.
34 Men pami foul la kèk t ap rele yon bagay, e kèk yon lòt bagay. Lè l pa t kapab twouve laverite ki koze tout boulvèsman an, li te mande yo mennen l nan kazèn nan.
And different persons cried some different thing in the crowd. But he, not being able to know the certainty on account of the uproar, commanded him to be brought into the fortress.
35 Lè l te rive nan eskalye a, sòlda yo te pote li akoz vyolans a foul la;
But when he got upon the stairs it was so that he was borne by the soldiers on account of the violence of the crowd.
36 paske yon gran foul moun te kontinye ap swiv yo, e t ap rele: “Touye li!”
For the multitude of the people followed, crying, Away with him.
37 Pandan Paul te prèt pou antre nan kazèn nan, li te mande kòmandan an: “Èske m kapab di ou yon bagay?” E li te reponn: “Ou konn pale Grèk?
But as he was about to be led into the fortress, Paul says to the chiliarch, Is it allowed me to say something to thee? And he said, Dost thou know Greek?
38 Alò se pa ou menm Ejipsyen an ki kèk tan pase te soulve yon revòlt, e te mennen kat mil òm asasen pou rive nan dezè a?”
Thou art not then that Egyptian who before these days raised a sedition and led out into the wilderness the four thousand men of the assassins?
39 Men Paul te di: “Mwen se yon Jwif ki sòti Tarse nan Cilicie, yon sitwayen a yon vil ase enpòtan. Mwen mande w, kite m pale avèk pèp la.”
But Paul said, I am a Jew of Tarsus, citizen of no insignificant city of Cilicia, and I beseech of thee, allow me to speak to the people.
40 Lè l te bay permisyon, Paul, te vin kanpe sou eskalye a. Li te fè sinyal a foul la avèk men l. Lè te vin gen yon gwo silans, li te pale avèk yo nan lang Ebre, e te di,
And when he had allowed him, Paul, standing on the stairs, beckoned with his hand to the people; and a great silence having been made, he addressed them in the Hebrew tongue, saying,
