Travay 7
1 Wo prèt la te di: “Èske bagay sa yo se vrè?”
Then sayd the chiefe Priest, Are these things so?
2 Li te di: “Koute m frè m yo ak ansyen mwen yo!” Bondye laglwa a te parèt devan zansèt nou, Abraham lè li te nan Mésopotamie, avan ke li te rete Charran.
And he sayd, Ye men, brethren and Fathers, hearken. That God of glory appeared vnto our father Abraham, while he was in Mesopotamia, before he dwelt in Charran,
3 E Li te di li: “Kite peyi ou, ak fanmi ou, pou vini nan peyi ke Mwen menm va montre ou a”.
And said vnto him, Come out of thy countrey, and from thy kindred, and come into the land, which I shall shewe thee.
4 Konsa, li te kite peyi a Kaldeyen yo pou vin rete nan Charran. Depi la, lè papa l te vin mouri, Bondye te fè l deplase vin nan peyi sila a kote nou rete koulye a.
Then came he out of the land of the Chaldeans, and dwelt in Charran. And after that his father was dead, God brought him from thence into this land, wherein ye now dwell,
5 Men Li pa t ba li yon eritaj ladann, ni menm yon moso tè, men menm lè li pa t gen pitit, Li te pwomèt li ke Li ta ba li sa kòm yon posesyon, e a desandan aprè li yo.
And hee gaue him none inheritance in it, no, not the bredth of a foote: yet he promised that he would giue it to him for a possession, and to his seede after him, when as yet hee had no childe.
6 Men Bondye te pale konsa: Ke desandan li yo ta etranje nan yon peyi etranje, pou yo ta nan esklavaj e maltrete pandan kat-san lane.
But God spake thus, that his seede should be a soiourner in a strange land: and that they should keepe it in bondage, and entreate it euill foure hundreth yeeres.
7 “Epi nenpòt nasyon ki ta mete yo nan esklavaj, Bondye te di: ‘Mwen Menm, Mwen va jije’, epi apre sa, yo va sòti la pou sèvi Mwen nan plas sila a.”
But the nation to whome they shall be in bondage, will I iudge, sayth God: and after that, they shall come forth and serue me in this place.
8 Li te bay li akò sikonsizyon an, epi Abraham te vin papa a Isaac, Li te sikonsi li nan uityèm jou a. Isaac te vin papa a Jacob, e Jacob a douz patriyach yo.
Hee gaue him also the couenant of circumcision: and so Abraham begate Isaac, and circumcised him the eight day: and Isaac begate Iacob, and Iacob the twelue Patriarkes.
9 Patriyach yo te vin jalou de Joseph e yo te vann li an Égypte. Men Bondye te avèk li
And the Patriarkes moued with enuie, solde Ioseph into Egypt: but God was with him,
10 e Li te delivre li nan tout afliksyon li yo. Konsa li te bay li favè avèk sajès devan Pharaon, wa Égypte la, e te fè li vin gouvènè sou Égypte, ak tout lakay li.
And deliuered him out of all his afflictions, and gaue him fauour and wisdome in the sight of Pharao King of Egypt, who made him gouernour ouer Egypt, and ouer his whole house.
11 Alò yon gwo grangou te parèt nan tout Égypte ak Canaan, avèk gwo mizè, e zansèt nou yo pa t kab twouve manje.
Then came there a famine ouer all the land of Egypt and Chanaan, and great affliction, that our fathers found no sustenance.
12 Men lè Jacob te tande ke te gen manje an Égypte, li te voye zansèt nou yo la pou premye fwa a.
But when Iacob heard that there was corne in Egypt, he sent our fathers first:
13 Nan dezyèm vizit la Joseph te fè frè l yo dekouvri ki moun li te ye, efanmi Joseph te vin entwodwi a Pharaon.
And at the second time, Ioseph was knowen of his brethren, and Iosephs kindred was made knowen vnto Pharao.
14 Alò Joseph te voye envite Jacob, papa li avèk tout fanmi li pou vin kote l. Te gen swasann-kenz moun antou.
Then sent Ioseph and caused his father to be brought, and all his kindred, euen threescore and fifteene soules.
15 Konsa, Jacob te desann an Égypte e li menm avèk zansèt nou yo te mouri la.
So Iacob went downe into Egypt, and he dyed, and our fathers,
16 Depi la kò yo te deplase retounen nan Sichem, pou te antere yo nan tonm nan ke Abraham te achte pou yon sòm lajan nan men fis a Hémor an Sichem yo.
And were remoued into Sychem, and were put in the sepulchre, that Abraham had bought for money of the sonnes of Emor, sonne of Sychem.
17 Men pandan tan a pwomès ke Bondye te pwomèt a Abraham nan t ap pwoche pèp la te vin ogmante e te miltipliye an Égypte,
But when the time of the promise drewe neere, which God had sworne to Abraham, the people grewe and multiplied in Egypt,
18 jiskaske Yon lòt wa te leve sou Égypte ki pa t konnen anyen de Joseph.
Till another King arose, which knewe not Ioseph.
19 Se te li menm ki te sèvi gwo koken pou pran avantaj sou ras nou an, e maltrete zansèt nou pou yo ta kab fè zanfan pa nou yo pa t kab viv.
The same dealt subtilly with our kindred, and euill entreated our fathers, and made them to cast out their yong children, that they should not remaine aliue.
20 Se te nan tan sila a ke Moïse te ne. Li te byen bèl nan zye Bondye, e li te okipe pandan twa mwa lakay papa li.
The same time was Moses borne, and was acceptable vnto God, which was nourished vp in his fathers house three moneths.
21 Epi lè l te abandonen, fi Pharaon an te pran li e te nouri li kòm pwòp fis pa li.
And when he was cast out, Pharaohs daughter tooke him vp, and nourished him for her owne sonne.
22 Moïse te enstwi nan tout konesans Ejipsyen an, e li te vin yon nonm byen fò nan pawòl ak nan zak.
And Moses was learned in all the wisdome of the Egyptians, and was mightie in wordes and in deedes.
23 Men lè l t ap pwoche laj karant ane, sa te antre nan tèt li pou vizite frè li yo, fis Israël yo.
Nowe when he was full fourtie yeere olde, it came into his heart to visite his brethren, the children of Israel.
24 Konsa, lè l te wè youn nan yo byen maltrete, li te defann li, e te vanje pou sila ki te oprime a, e konsa, te touye Ejipsyen an.
And whe he saw one of them suffer wrong, he defended him, and auenged his quarell that had the harme done to him, and smote the Egyptian.
25 Li te sipoze ke frè li yo te konprann ke Bondye t ap bay yo delivrans atravè li menm, men yo pa t konprann.
For hee supposed his brethren would haue vnderstand, that God by his hande should giue them deliuerance: but they vnderstoode it not.
26 “Nan jou swivan an, li te parèt a yo menm pandan yo t ap goumen youn avèk lòt. Li te eseye rekonsilye yo nan lapè e te di: ‘Moun yo, se frè nou ye. Poukisa nou ap fè mal a youn lòt?’
And the next day, he shewed himselfe vnto them as they stroue, and woulde haue set them at one againe, saying, Syrs, ye are brethren: why doe ye wrong one to another?
27 “Men sila ki t ap fè frè l la mal la te bourade l e te di: ‘Kilès ki te fè ou yon chèf ak jij sou nou?
But he that did his neighbour wrong, thrust him away, saying, Who made thee a prince, and a iudge ouer vs?
28 Èske ou gen entansyon touye m menm jan ke ou te touye Ejipsyen an ayè a?’
Wilt thou kill mee, as thou diddest the Egyptian yesterday?
29 “Akoz pawòl sila a Moïse te sove ale, e te vin yon etranje nan peyi Madian, kote li te vin papa a de fis.
Then fled Moses at that saying, and was a stranger in the land of Madian, where he begate two sonnes.
30 “Apre karant ane te pase, Yon zanj te parèt a li menm nan dezè Mòn Sinaï nan flanm a yon touf bwa.
And when fourtie yeres were expired, there appeared to him in the wildernes of mout Sina, an Angel of the Lord in a flame of fire, in a bush.
31 Lè Moïse te wè l, li te etone de sa l te wè a. Lè l te pwoche pou gade pi pre, vwa Senyè a te vini sou li:
And when Moses sawe it, hee wondred at the sight: and as he drew neere to consider it, the voyce of the Lord came vnto him, saying,
32 ‘Mwen menm se Bondye a zansèt nou yo, Bondye Abraham nan, Isaac ak Jacob la’. Moïse te tranble avèk laperèz e pa t menm vle pran chans gade.
I am the God of thy fathers, the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Iacob. Then Moses trembled, and durst not behold it.
33 “Men SENYÈ a te di l: ‘Retire sapat nan pye ou, paske lye kote ou kanpe a se tè sen.
Then the Lord said to him, Put off thy shoes from thy feete: for the place where thou standest, is holy ground.
34 Mwen anverite wè soufrans pèp Mwen an an Égypte e tande plent yo, e Mwen gen tan vini desann pou delivre yo. Vini koulye a e Mwen va voye ou an Égypte.’
I haue seene, I haue seene the affliction of my people, which is in Egypt, and I haue heard their groning, and am come downe to deliuer them: and nowe come, and I will sende thee into Egypt.
35 “Menm Moïse sila a ke yo te rejte lè yo te di: ‘Kilès ki te fè ou yon chèf e yon jij?’ Se sila a ke Bondye te voye pou li ta kapab non sèlman yon chèf, men yon liberatè avèk èd zanj ki te parèt kote li nan touf bwa a.
This Moses whome they forsooke, saying, Who made thee a prince and a iudge? the same God sent for a prince, and a deliuerer by the hand of the Angel, which appeared to him in the bush.
36 Mesye sila a te mennen yo sòti, e te fè mèvèy ak sign nan peyi Égypte, ak nan Lamè Wouj, epi pandan karant ane nan dezè a.
Hee brought them out, doing wonders, and miracles in the land of Egypt, and in the red sea, and in the wildernes fourtie yeeres.
37 Se te Moïse sila a ki te di a fis Israël yo: ‘Bondye va fè leve pou nou yon pwofèt tankou mwen ki sòti nan frè nou yo.’
This is that Moses, which saide vnto the children of Israel, A Prophet shall the Lord your God raise vp vnto you, euen of your brethren, like vnto me: him shall ye heare.
38 “Sa se li menm ki te nan asanble nan dezè a; ki te avèk zanj ki t ap pale avè l sou Mòn Sinaï a, e avèk zansèt nou yo, ki te te resevwa pawòl vivan yo pou pase bannou.
This is he that was in the Congregation, in the wildernes with the Angell, which spake to him in mount Sina, and with our fathers, who receiued the liuely oracles to giue vnto vs.
39 “Zansèt nou yo pa t dakò obeyisan a li menm, men yo te rejte l, e nan kè yo, yo te vire tounen an Égypte.
To whom our fathers would not obey, but refused, and in their hearts turned backe againe into Egypt:
40 Konsa yo di a Aaron: ‘Fè pou nou dye yo ki va ale devan nou. Paske Moïse sila a ki te mennen nou sòti an Égypte la, nou pa menm konnen kisa ki rive li.’
Saying vnto Aaron, Make vs gods that may goe before vs: for we knowe not what is become of this Moses that brought vs out of the land of Egypt.
41 Nan tan sa a yo te fè yon jenn bèf. Yo te pote yon sakrifis pou zidòl la, e yo t ap rejwi yo nan zèv a pwòp men yo.
And they made a calfe in those dayes, and offered sacrifice vnto the idole, and reioyced in the workes of their owne handes.
42 “Men Bondye te vire do Li, e te livre yo pou adore dye a zetwal syèl yo, jan sa ekri nan liv pwofèt yo: ‘Se pa t a Mwen menm ke nou te ofri ofrann ak sakrifis karant ane nan dezè a, O lakay Israël.
Then God turned himselfe away, and gaue them vp to serue the host of heauen, as it is written in the booke of the Prophets, O house of Israel, haue ye offred to me slaine beasts and sacrifices by the space of fourtie yeres in the wildernes?
43 Men nou te pran anplis, tabènak Moloch la, ak zetwal a dye Remphan an; imaj ke nou te fè pou adore yo. Pou sa a Mwen osi va retire nou jis rive lòtbò Babylone.’
And ye tooke vp the tabernacle of Moloch, and the starre of your god Remphan, figures, which ye made to worship them: therefore I will carie you away beyond Babylon.
44 “Zansèt nou yo te gen tabènak temwayaj nan dezè a, menm jan ke Sila ki te pale avèk Moïse la te kòmande li pou fè, selon modèl ke li te wè a.
Our fathers had the tabernacle of witnes, in the wildernes, as hee had appointed, speaking vnto Moses, that he should make it according to the fashion that he had seene.
45 “Konsa, zansèt nou yo ki te resevwa li nan lè pa yo, te pote li avèk Josué lè l te depouye nasyon ke Bondye te chase devan yo jis rive nan tan David la.
Which tabernacle also our fathers receiued, and brought in with Iesus into the possession of the Gentiles, which God draue out before our fathers, vnto the dayes of Dauid:
46 David te twouve favè nan zye Bondye, e te mande pou li ta kapab jwenn yon mezon pou Bondye Jacob la abite.
Who found fauour before God, and desired that hee might finde a tabernacle for the God of Iacob.
47 Men se te Salomon ki te bati yon kay pou Li.
But Salomon built him an house.
48 “Poutan Trè Wo a pa rete nan kay ki fèt pa men moun, jan pwofèt la di a:
Howbeit the most High dwelleth not in temples made with handes, as saith the Prophet,
49 ‘Syèl la se twòn Mwen, E tè a se ban pou pye Mwen. Ki kalite kay ou kapab fè pou Mwen?’ ‘Oubyen ki plas ki gen pou repo Mwen?
Heauen is my throne, and earth is my footestoole: what house wil ye build for me, saith the Lord? or what place is it that I should rest in?
50 Se pa t men Mwen ki te fè tout bagay sa yo?’
Hath not mine hand made all these things?
51 “Nou menm, ki se moun kou rèd e ensikonsi nan kè, avèk zòrèy ki toujou ap reziste a Lespri Sen an, n ap fè menm bagay ke zansèt nou yo te konn fè yo.
Ye stiffenecked and of vncircumcised heartes and eares, ye haue alwayes resisted the holy Ghost: as your fathers did, so do you.
52 Kilès nan pwofèt yo ke zansèt nou yo pa t pèsekite? Yo te touye sila yo ki avan lè te anonse ke Sila Ki Jis la t ap vini; ke nou menm koulye a trayi e asasine.
Which of the Prophets haue not your fathers persecuted? and they haue slaine them, which shewed before of the comming of that Iust, of whome ye are now the betrayers and murtherers,
53 Nou menm ki te resevwa Lalwa kòm yon òdonans pa zanj yo, te vyole li.”
Which haue receiued the Lawe by the ordinance of Angels, and haue not kept it.
54 Alò, lè yo te tande sa, yo te blese byen fon, e t ap manje dan yo sou li.
But when they heard these thinges, their heartes brast for anger, and they gnashed at him with their teeth.
55 Men ranpli avèk Lespri Sen an, li te fikse zye l anwo nan syèl la e te wè glwa Bondye ak Jésus ki t ap kanpe bò men dwat Bondye.
But he being full of the holy Ghost, looked stedfastly into heauen, and sawe the glory of God, and Iesus standing at the right hand of God,
56 Li te di: “Gade byen, Mwen wè syèl la vin louvri, e Fis a lòm nan ki kanpe bò men dwat Bondye.”
And said, Beholde, I see the heauens open, and the Sonne of man standing at the right hand of God.
57 Konsa yo te kriye fò avèk yon gwo vwa, e te kouvri zòrèy yo. Yo te kouri sou li ansanm a lafwa,
Then they gaue a shoute with a loude voyce, and stopped their eares, and ranne vpon him violently all at once,
58 e lè yo te fin pouse li deyò vil la, yo te kòmanse lapide l avèk wòch. Temwen sila yo te depoze vètman yo nan pye a yon jennonm yo te rele Saul.
And cast him out of the citie, and stoned him: and the witnesses layd downe their clothes at a yong mans feete, named Saul.
59 Yo te kontinye lapide Étienne pandan li te rele Senyè a, e te di: “Senyè Jésus, resevwa Lespri mwen”.
And they stoned Steuen, who called on God, and said, Lord Iesus, receiue my spirit.
60 Konsa, li te tonbe sou jenou li, e te kriye avèk yon gwo vwa: “Senyè, pa kenbe peche sa a kont yo!” Lè l fin di sa, li te mouri.
And he kneeled downe, and cried with a loude voyce, Lord, laye not this sinne to their charge. And when he had thus spoken, he slept.
