Travay 23
1 Paul te gade konsèy la avèk atansyon, e te di: “Frè yo mwen viv lavi m avèk yon trè bon konsyans devan Bondye jiska jodi a.”
Paul behelde the counsell and sayde: men and brethre I have lived in all good coscience before God vntill this daye.
2 Wo prèt la, Ananias te kòmande sila ki te kanpe akote l yo pou frape l sou bouch li.
The hye prest Ananias comaunded the that stode by to smyte him on the mouth.
3 Konsa, Paul te di li: “Bondye pral frape ou, ou menm miray ki blanchi avèk lacho! Èske ou chita pou jije m selon Lalwa a, e nan vyolasyon Lalwa a, ou pase lòd pou yo frape m?”
Then sayde Paul to him: God smyte the thou payntyd wall. Sittest thou and iudgest me after the lawe: and commaundest me to be smytten contrary to the lawe?
4 Men sila ki te akote yo te di: “Èske se ensilte w ap ensilte wo prèt Bondye a?”
And they that stode by sayde: revylest thou Goddes hye preste?
5 Paul te reponn: “Mwen pa t okouran, frè m yo, ke li te wo prèt la. Paske sa ekri: ‘Nou pa pou pale mal a yon chèf a pèp nou an’”.
Then sayd Paul: I wist not brethren that he was the hye preste. For it is writte thou shalt not curse the rular of thy people.
6 Men byen konprann ke yon pati se te Sadiseyen yo, e lòt la, Farizyen yo, Paul te kòmanse kriye fò nan konsèy la: “Frè m yo, mwen menm se yon Fariziyen, yon fis a Farizyen. Mwen ap jije devan tribinal a pou esperans nan rezirèksyon a mò yo!”
When Paul perceaved that the one parte were Saduces and the other Pharises: he cryed oute in the counsell. Men and brethren I am a Pharisaye the sonne of a Pharisaye. Of the hope and resurreccion fro deeth I am iudged.
7 Pandan li te di sa, te vin rive gen yon gran dezakò antre Farizyen yo ak Sadiseyen yo, epi asanble a te divize.
And when he had so sayde ther arose a debate bitwene the Pharisayes and ye Saduces and the multitude was devided.
8 Paske Sadiseyen yo di ke nanpwen rezirèksyon, ni zanj, ni lespri, men Farizyen yo rekonèt yo tout.
For ye Saduces saye that ther is no resurreccio nether angell nor sprete. But the Pharisayes graunt bothe.
9 Konsa, te vin rive gen yon gwo tapaj. Kèk nan skrib pati Farizyen yo te kanpe e te kòmanse diskite byen cho. Yo t ap di: “Nou pa twouve okenn fot avèk nonm sila a. Si se yon lespri oswa yon zanj te pale ak li, annou pa goumen kont Bondye!”
And ther arose a great crye and the Scribes which were of the Pharisayes parte arose and strove sayinge: we fynde none evyll in this man. Though a sprete or an angell hath apered to him let vs not stryve agaynst God.
10 Pandan konfli a t ap devlope, kòmandan an te pè pou yo pa ta chire Paul an mòso. Konsa, li te kòmande sòlda yo pou desann, retire li pami yo ak lafòs, e mennen l nan kazèn nan.
And when ther arose greate debate the captayne fearynge lest Paul shuld have bene pluckt asondre of them comaunded the soudiers to goo doune and to take him from amonge them and to bringe him into the castle.
11 Men nan nwit swivan an, Senyè a te kanpe akote l e te di: “Pran kouraj, paske menm jan ke ou temwaye seryezman e konplètman pou kòz mwen Jérusalem nan, menm jan an ou oblije temwaye nan Rome osi.”
The nyght folowyng God stode by him and sayde: Be of good cheare Paul: for as thou hast testified of me in Ierusalem so must thou beare witnes at Rome.
12 Lè jounen an te rive Jwif yo te fòme yon konplo. Yo te vin mare ansanm anba yon sèman, pou yo pa ta ni manje, ni bwè jiskaske yo te touye Paul.
When daye was come certayne of the Iewes gaddered them selves to geder and made a vowe sayinge that they wolde nether eate nor drinke till they had killed Paul.
13 Te gen plis ke karant moun ki te fòme konplo sila a.
They were aboute. xl. which had made this conspiracio.
14 Yo te vini a chèf prèt ak ansyen yo, e te di: “Nou vin mare ansanm anba yon sèman serye e konplè pou pa goute anyen jiskaske nou touye Paul.
And they cam to ye chefe prestes and elders and sayde: we have boude oure selves with a vowe that we will eate nothinge vntill we have slayne Paul.
15 Alò, konsa, ou menm avèk konsèy la avèti kòmandan an pou l mennen l desann kote nou, kòmsi nou t ap pral detèmine ka li a pi pre. E pou pati pa nou, nou prè pou touye l avan li rive pre kote a.”
Now therfore geve ye knowlege to the vpper captayne and to the counsell that he bringe him forth vnto vs to morow as though we wolde knowe some thinge more perfectly of him. But we (or ever he come neare) are redy in ye meane season to kill him.
16 Men fis a sè Paul la te tande afè konplo sila a, e li te vin antre kazèn nan pou te enfòme Paul.
When Pauls sisters sonne hearde of their layinge awayte he wet and entred into the castle and tolde Paul.
17 Konsa, Paul te rele youn nan santenye kote l yo e te di li: “Mennen jennonm sila a kote kòmandan an paske li gen yon rapò pou bay li.”
And Paul called one of ye vnder captaynes vnto him and sayde: bringe this younge man vnto ye hye captayne: for he hath a certayne thinge to shewe him.
18 Alò li te pran li, e te mennen li bay kòmandan an e te di l: “Paul prizonye a te rele mwen vè jennonm sila a pou vin kote w akoz li gen yon bagay pou di w.”
And he toke him and sayd: Paul ye presoner called me vnto him and prayed me to brige this youge ma vnto ye which hath a certayne matter to shewe ye.
19 Kòmandan an te pran l pa lamen, e te rale l akote pou mande l an prive: “Kisa ou gen kòm rapò pou ban mwen an?”
The hye captayne toke him by the hond and wet a parte with him out of the waye: and axed him: what hast thou to saye vnto me?
20 Li te di: “Jwif yo gen tan fin dakò pou mande ou mennen Paul devan konsèy la demen, kòmsi yo t ap pral mande plis enfòmasyon sou li menm.
And he sayd: the Iewes are determined to desyre the yt thou woldest brynge forth Paul to morowe into the counsell as though they wolde enquyre somwhat of him more parfectly.
21 Pa kwè yo, paske plis ke karant nan yo ap tann pou atake l. Yo gen tan mare yo menm anba yon sèman pou yo pa ni manje ni bwè jiskaske yo touye l; koulye a y ap tann ou vin bay pèmisyon.”
But folowe not their mindes: for ther lyein wayte for him of the moo then. xl. men which have boude the selves wt a vowe that they will nether eate ner drinke till they have killed him. And now are they redy and loke for thy promes.
22 Kòmandan an te kite jennonm nan ale. Li te di l: “Pa di pèsòn ke ou pale bagay sa yo avè m.”
The vpper captayne let ye yoge man departe and charged: se thou tell it out to no man that thou hast shewed these thinges to me.
23 Konsa, li te rele de nan santenye yo. Li te di yo: “Ale fè de-san sòlda prè pou twazyèm lè nwit lan, pou pati pou Césarée, avèk swasann-dis chevalye, ak de-san sòlda ak lans.”
And he called vnto him two vnder captaynes sayinge: make redy two hondred soudiers to goo to Cesarea and horsmen threscore and ten and speare men two houndred at the thyrde houre of the nyght.
24 Yo te gen osi pou prepare cheval pou mete Paul, pou fè l rive sof kote Félix gouvènè a.
And delyvre them beastes that they maye put Paul on and bringe him safe vnto Felix the hye debite
25 Epi li te ekri yon lèt nan fòm sila a:
and wrote a letter in this maner.
26 Claude Lysias, a trè ekselan Gouvènè Félix; Salitasyon.
Claudius Lisias vnto ye most mighty rular Felix sendeth gretinges.
27 “Lè mesye sa a te arete pa Jwif yo, e te prèt pou l te touye pa yo, mwen te vini sou yo avèk sòlda yo pou sekouri l, akoz ke m te vin konprann ke li te yon sitwayen Women.
This man was take of the Iewes and shuld have bene killed of them. Then cam I with soudiers and rescued him and perceaved that he was a Romayne.
28 Epi akoz ke mwen te vle konprann chaj ke yo te pote kont li an, mwen te fè l rive devan Konsèy pa yo a.
And when I wolde have knowen the cause wherfore they accused him I brought him forth into their cousell.
29 Konsa, mwen te vin twouve ke li te akize sou kesyon konsènan pwòp lwa pa yo, men pa anba okenn akizasyon ki te merite lanmò oubyen prizon.
There perceaved I yt he was accused of questios of their lawe: but was not giltye of eny thinge worthy of deeth or of bondes.
30 “Lè m te enfòme ke ta gen yon konplo kont li, mwen te voye li kote ou sibitman, e osi te enstwi akizatè li yo pou mennen chaj kont li yo devan ou.”
Afterwarde when it was shewed me how that ye Iewes layde wayte for ye man I sent him strayght waye to the and gave commaundmet to his accusars yf they had ought agaynst him to tell it vnto ye: fare well.
31 Konsa, sòlda yo selon lòd pa yo, te pran Paul pou mennen l nan nwit lan devan Antipatris.
Then ye soudiers as it was comaunded the toke Paul and brought him by nyght to Antipatras.
32 Men nan pwochen jou a yo te kite chevalye yo ale avè l, e yo te retounen nan Kazèn nan.
On the morowe they lefte horsmen to goo with him and returned vnto the castle.
33 Lè sa yo te rive Césarée e te livre lèt la bay Gouvènè a, yo te prezante Paul devan l.
Which when they cam to Cesarea they delivered the epistle to the debite and presented Paul before him.
34 Lè li te fin li l, li te mande nan ki pwovens li te sòti, e lè li te vin aprann ke se te Cilicie,
When the debite had redde the letter he axed of what countre he was and when he vnderstode that he was of Cicill
35 li te di: “Mwen va bay ou yon odyans apre akizatè ou yo vin rive tou.” Konsa, li te bay lòd pou yo ta kenbe l nan Pretwa Hérode la.
I will heare the (sayde he) whe thyne accusars are come also: and commaunded him to be kepte in Herodes pallys.
