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.
When at least we had torn ourselves away, and had set sail, we ran a straight course to Cos, and next day to Rhodes, and from there to Patara.
2 Lè nou te twouve yon bato ki t ap travèse vè Phénicie, nou te monte e pran vwal.
And when we had found a ship bound for Phoenicia, we went aboard and set sail.
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.
After sighting Cyprus and leaving it on the left hand, we sailed for Syria, and put in at Tyre; for there the ship was to unload 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.
We looked up the local disciples and remained there seven days; and these disciples kept telling Paul, through the Spirit, that he should not set foot in 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.
When, however, our time was up, we left and started on our journey; and all of them, with wives and children, were escorting us on our way until we were out of the city; then, kneeling down on the beach, we prayed,
6 Answit, nou te monte bato a, e yo te retounenlakay yo ankò.
and said good-bye, and went on board the ship, while they returned home again.
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 when we had finished the voyage from Tyre, we reached Ptolemais, and greeted the brothers and stayed with them one day.
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.
On the morrow we started for Caesarea, where we went into the house of Philip, the evangelist, who was one of the seven, and stayed with him.
9 Alò, nonm sa te gen kat fi vyèj ki te pwofetès.
Now Philip had four unmarried daughters who prophesied,
10 Pandan nou te rete la pandan kèk jou, yon sèten pwofèt ki te nome Agabus te desann sòti Judée.
and while we remained there many days, a prophet named Agabus came down from Judea.
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.”
He came to us, and taking Paul’s girdle, he bound his own feet and hands, saying, "Thus says the Holy Spirit, ‘so will the Jews at Jerusalem bind the owner of this girdle, and deliver him 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.
As soon as we heard these words, both we and those who were standing near entreated Paul 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.”
"What do you mean by thus breaking my heart with your grief?" answered Paul. "For I am ready not to be bound only, 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 ceased, saying, "The will of the Lord be done."
15 Apre jou sa yo, nou te prepare pou kòmanse fè wout nou pou monte Jérusalem.
A few days after this we took up our luggage and 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 accompanied us. They led us to the house of Mnason, a Cypriote, a disciple of long standing, with whom we were to lodge.
17 Apre nou te rive Jérusalem frè fidèl yo te resevwa nou avèk kè kontan.
At length we reached Jerusalem, and the brothers there received us gladly.
18 Jou swivan an Paul te antre avèk nou vè Jacques, epi tout ansyen yo te la.
On the following day we went with Paul to call on James, and all the elders were present.
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.
After saluting them Paul rehearsed, one by one, the things that God had done among the Gentiles 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, when they heard it, glorified God, and said to him. "You see, brother, how many thousands there are among the Jews, of those who have believed, and they are all zealous for 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.
"Now what they have been told about you, again and again, is that you teach all the Jews who are among the Gentiles, to forsake Moses, and not to circumcise their children, nor to follow the old customs.
22 Alò, kisa ki dwe fèt? Sètènman yo va tande ke ou gen tan vini.
"What then ought to be done? They will certainly hear that you are come.
23 “Alò, fè sa ke nou di ou a. Nou gen kat mesye ki anba yon ve.
"So do this that we tell you.
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.
"We have four men here under a vow; associate yourself with them, purify yourself with them, and pay their expenses so that they may have their heads shaved; then every one will know that there is no truth in the rumors that they have heard about you; but that you yourself walk orderly obeying 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.”
"As for the Gentile believers, we wrote giving judgment that they should abstain from anything sacrificed to an idol, from blood, from what is 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 took the men, and after purifying himself with them next day, went into the temple to declare the fulfilment of the days of purification, 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.
But when the seven days were almost over, the Asiatic Jews caught sight of him in the temple, and began to stir up all the crowd, and laid hands on him, shouting.
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.”
"Men of Israel, help! This is the man who goes everywhere preaching to everybody against the people, and the Law, and this place. And he has actually brought Gentiles even into the temple, and has desecrated the 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 formerly seen Trophimus, the Ephesian, with him in the city, and supposed that Paul had brought him 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.
The whole city was thrown into uproar. The mob surged together, seized Paul, and began to drag him outside the temple. Whereupon the doors were at once shut.
31 Pandan yo t ap chache pou touye l, yon rapò te rive devan kòmandan Kowòt Women an, ke tout Jérusalem te boulvèse.
While they were attempting to kill him, news came to the tribune commander of the garrison that all Jerusalem was in an uproar.
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.
At once he took soldiers and centurions, and rushed down upon them. When they saw the tribune and the troops, they left off 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 tribune came up and seized him, and ordered that he be bound with two chains. "Who is he?" he began asking, "and what has he 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.
Some among the crowd kept shouting one thing, some another; and when the tribune could not learn the facts because of the uproar, he ordered Paul into the barracks.
35 Lè l te rive nan eskalye a, sòlda yo te pote li akoz vyolans a foul la;
When was going up the steps, he had to be carried by the soldiers, because of the violence of the mob,
36 paske yon gran foul moun te kontinye ap swiv yo, e t ap rele: “Touye li!”
for the whole mass of the people were following him, shouting, "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?
Just as he was about to be taken into the barracks, Paul said to the tribune, "May I speak to you?"
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?”
"Do you know Greek?" said the tribune; "Are you not, then, the Egyptian who in days gone by stirred up to sedition, and let into the wilderness the four thousand cutthroats?"
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.”
"I am a Jew," answered Paul, "a native of Tarsus in Cilicia, a citizen of no mean city. And I pray you, give me permission 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,
So when he had given leave, Paul stood on the stairs, beckoning with his hands to the people. There came a great hush, and he spoke to them as follows, in Hebrew.
