Travay 1
1 Premye istwa ke m te ekri a, chè Théophile, sou tout bagay ke Jésus te kòmanse fè ak enstwi yo,
The first book I wrote, Theophilus, concerned all that Yeshua began both to do and to teach,
2 jis rive jou lè Li te monte nan syèl la apre Li te fin bay lòd selon Lespri Sen an, a apòt ke Li te chwazi yo.
until the day in which he was received up, after he had given commandment through the Holy Spirit to the emissaries whom he had chosen.
3 A sila yo osi Li te prezante tèt li vivan apre soufrans Li, e avèk anpil prèv konvenkan, Li te parèt a yo menm pandan karant jou, e te pale avèk yo de bagay ki te konsène wayòm syèl la.
To these he also showed himself alive after he suffered, by many proofs, appearing to them over a period of forty days and speaking about God’s Kingdom.
4 Li te rasanble yo ansanm e te kòmande yo: “Pa kite Jérusalem, men tann sa ke Papa a te pwomèt la; sa ke nou te tande de Mwen menm nan.
Being assembled together with them, he commanded them, “Don’t depart from Jerusalem, but wait for the promise of the Father, which you heard from me.
5 Paske Jean te batize avèk dlo, men nou va batize avèk Lespri Sen an pa a anpil jou de kounye a.”
For Yochanan indeed immersed in water, but you will be immersed in the Holy Spirit not many days from now.”
6 Donk, lè yo te reyini ansanm, yo t ap poze Li kesyon, e t ap di: “Senyè èske se nan lè sa a ke W ap restore Wayòm lan an Israël?”
Therefore, when they had come together, they asked him, “Lord, are you now restoring the kingdom to Israel?”
7 Li te di yo: “Se pa nou menm ki pou konnen ni lè ni tan ke Papa a gen tan fikse pa otorite pa L.
He said to them, “It isn’t for you to know times or seasons which the Father has set within his own authority.
8 Men Nou va resevwa pouvwa lè Lespri Sen an vini sou nou. Nou va temwen Mwen ni nan Jérusalem, ni nan Juda ak Samarie, e jis rive nan dènye ekstremite latè.”
But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you. You will be witnesses to me in Jerusalem, in all Judea and Samaria, and to the uttermost parts of the earth.”
9 Lè Li te fin di bagay sa yo Li te vin leve anlè pandan yo t ap gade, e yon nyaj te resevwa L. Li te vin disparèt jiskaske yo pa t wè Li.
When he had said these things, as they were looking, he was taken up, and a cloud received him out of their sight.
10 Pandan yo t ap toujou gade byen fikse nan syèl la, pandan Li t ap prale, epi vwala de mesye ak vètman blan te kanpe akote L;
While they were looking steadfastly into the sky as he went, behold, two men stood by them in white clothing,
11 E yo menm osi te di: “Moun Galilée yo, poukisa nou kanpe ap gade nan syèl la? Jésus sila a, ki leve kite nou, pou ale nan syèl la, va vini menm jan ke nou wè L ale nan syèl la”.
who also said, “You men of Galilee, why do you stand looking into the sky? This Yeshua, who was received up from you into the sky, will come back in the same way as you saw him going into the sky.”
12 Alò, yo te retounen Jérusalem sòti nan mòn yo rele Olivier a, ki toupre Jérusalem, a distans mache yon jou Saba.
Then they returned to Jerusalem from the mountain called Olivet, which is near Jerusalem, a Sabbath day’s journey away.
13 Lè yo te antre nan vil la, yo te ale nan chanm anlè kote yo t ap rete a; sa vle di, Pierre Jean, Jacques André, Philippe, Thomas, Barthélemy, Matthieu, Jacques, ki te fis Alphée a, Simon, Zelòt la, ak Judas, fis a Jacques la.
When they had come in, they went up into the upper room where they were staying, that is Peter, Yochanan, Jacob, Andrew, Philip, Thomas, Bartholomew, Matthew, Jacob the son of Halfai, Simon the Zealot, and Judah the son of Jacob.
14 Sa yo avèk yon sèl panse yo t ap toujou pèsevere nan lapriyè, ansanm avèk fanm yo, ak Marie, manman a Jésus, ak frè Li yo.
All these with one accord continued steadfastly in prayer and supplication, along with the women and Miriam the mother of Yeshua, and with his brothers.
15 Nan lè sa a, Pierre te kanpe nan mitan frè yo (yon asanble de anviwon san ven moun ki te la ansanm) e te di:
In these days, Peter stood up in the middle of the disciples (and the number of names was about one hundred and twenty), and said,
16 “Frè m yo, Ekriti a te oblije vin akonpli, jan Lespri Sen an te anonse oparavan pa bouch David konsènan Judas ki te vin yon gid a sila ki te arete Jésus yo.
“Brothers, it was necessary that this Scripture should be fulfilled, which the Holy Spirit spoke before by the mouth of David concerning Judah, who was guide to those who took Yeshua.
17 Paske li te konte pami nou, e te resevwa pati pa li, nan èv sila a.
For he was counted with us, and received his portion in this ministry.
18 “Alò mesye sila te vin achte yon chan avèk pri mechanste li a; e te tonbe tèt devan; vant li te fann e zantray li te vide sòti.
Now this man obtained a field with the reward for his wickedness; and falling headlong, his body burst open and all his intestines gushed out.
19 Epi sa te vin byen koni pa tout sila ki te rete Jérusalem yo; pou ke nan pwòp lang pa yo, yo te rele chan sa a Hakeldama, ki vle di chan san an.
It became known to everyone who lived in Jerusalem that in their language that field was called ‘Hakel-Dema,’ that is, ‘The field of blood.’
20 “Paske sa ekri nan liv Sòm Yo: ‘Kite kote li rete a vin devaste; e pa kite pèsòn rete ladan l’; ‘Kite yon lòt moun vin pran pozisyon pa li a’.
For it is written in the scroll of Psalms, ‘Let his habitation be made desolate. Let no one dwell in it;’ and, ‘Let another take his office.’
21 “Donk, li nesesè ke pami moun ki akonpanye nou tout tan ke Senyè Jésus te antre sòti pami nou yo,
“Of the men therefore who have accompanied us all the time that the Lord Yeshua went in and out amongst us,
22 kòmanse nan batèm Jean, jis rive jou ke Li te anlève soti nan mitan nou an, youn nan sila yo ta dwe devni yon temwen avèk nou de rezirèksyon Li.”
beginning from the immersion of Yochanan to the day that he was received up from us, of these one must become a witness with us of his resurrection.”
23 Konsa yo te mete devan de mesye, Joseph ke yo te rele Barsabbas, ki te anplis rele Justus, ak Matthias.
They put forward two: Joseph called Barsabbas, who was also called Justus, and Matthiah.
24 Yo te priye, e te di: “Ou menm, Senyè ki konnen kè tout moun, montre nou kilès nan de zòm sa yo Ou chwazi a,
They prayed and said, “You, Lord, who know the hearts of all men, show which one of these two you have chosen
25 pou okipe èv apòt sila a ke Judas te vire kite pou ale nan pwòp plas li a.”
to take part in this ministry and office of emissary from which Judah fell away, that he might go to his own place.”
26 Yo te fè tiraj osò pou yo, e osò a te tonbe pou Matthias. Konsa, li te ajoute pami onz apòt yo.
They drew lots for them, and the lot fell on Matthiah; and he was counted with the Eleven emissaries.
