Acts 1

Teofil monchè: Nan premye liv mwen an, mwen te rakonte tou sa Jezi te fè ak tout bagay li te moutre pèp la, depi nan konmans man,

The former treatise have I made, O Theophilus, of all that Jesus began both to do and teach,

jouk jou li moute nan syèl la. Anvan l' te moute a, li te pale ak moun li te chwazi pou sèvi apòt. Avèk pouvwa Sentespri sou li, li ba yo lòd sa pou yo fè.

Until the day in which he was taken up, after that he through the Holy Ghost had given commandments unto the apostles whom he had chosen:

Apre lanmò li, li te parèt plizyè fwa devan yo. Li te ba yo divès prèv li te vivan ankò. Pandan karant jou, li fè yo wè l', li pale yo sou peyi kote Bondye wa a.

To whom also he shewed himself alive after his passion by many infallible proofs, being seen of them forty days, and speaking of the things pertaining to the kingdom of God:

Yon jou yo t'ap manje ansanm, Jezi ba yo lòd sa a: Pa kite lavil Jerizalèm. Rete tann sa Papa a te pwomèt la, kado mwen t'ap pale nou an.

And, being assembled together with them, commanded them that they should not depart from Jerusalem, but wait for the promise of the Father, which, saith he, ye have heard of me.

Jan te batize nou nan dlo, men nan kèk jou ankò, nou pral resevwa batèm nan Sentespri a.

For John truly baptized with water; but ye shall be baptized with the Holy Ghost not many days hence.

Lè sa a, moun ki te reyini bò kot Jezi yo pran mande li: Mèt, èske se koulye a ou pral mete gouvènman pèp Izrayèl la sou pye l' ankò?

When they therefore were come together, they asked of him, saying, Lord, wilt thou at this time restore again the kingdom to Israel?

Jezi reponn yo: Nou pa bezwen konnen ki jou ni ki lè sa va fèt. Se Papa a ki fikse dat la li menm, pou kont li.

And he said unto them, It is not for you to know the times or the seasons, which the Father hath put in his own power.

Men, lè Sentespri a va desann sou nou, n'a resevwa yon pouvwa. Lè sa a, n'a sèvi m' temwen nan Jerizalèm, nan tout peyi Jide ak nan tout peyi Samari, jouk nan dènye bout latè.

But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judæa, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth.

Apre li fin di yo sa, li moute nan syèl. Antan yo t'ap gade li, yon nwaj vin bouche l' devan je yo.

And when he had spoken these things, while they beheld, he was taken up; and a cloud received him out of their sight.

Yo te gen je yo fikse nan syèl la kote Jezi t'ap moute a, lè dezòm, abiye tout an blan, parèt konsa bò kote yo.

And while they looked stedfastly toward heaven as he went up, behold, two men stood by them in white apparel;

Dezòm yo di yo: Nou menm, moun Galile, poukisa nou rete la ap gade syèl la konsa? Jezi sa a ki fèk sot nan mitan nou an pou moute nan syèl la, li gen pou l' tounen menm jan nou wè l' moute nan syèl la.

Which also said, Ye men of Galilee, why stand ye gazing up into heaven? this same Jesus, which is taken up from you into heaven, shall so come in like manner as ye have seen him go into heaven.

Apre sa, apòt yo desann mòn Oliv, yo tounen Jerizalèm. Mòn lan te toupre lavil la, distans yon kilomèt konsa.

Then returned they unto Jerusalem from the mount called Olivet, which is from Jerusalem a sabbath day's journey.

Lè yo rive Jerizalèm, yo moute nan chanm anwo kay kote yo konn ye a. Lè sa a te gen Pyè, Jan, Jak ak Andre, Filip ak Toma, Batèlmi ak Matye, Jak, pitit Alfe a, Simon, nonm patriyòt la, epi Jid, pitit Jak la.

And when they were come in, they went up into an upper room, where abode both Peter, and James, and John, and Andrew, Philip, and Thomas, Bartholomew, and Matthew, James the son of Alphaeus, and Simon Zelotes, and Judas the brother of James.

Yo tout mete tèt yo ansanm, yo t'ap lapriye san rete. Medam yo te la tou ansanm ak Mari, manman Jezi, ak frè l' yo tou.

These all continued with one accord in prayer and supplication, with the women, and Mary the mother of Jesus, and with his brethren.

Yon jou tout frè yo te sanble, te gen sanven (120) moun antou konsa. Piè kanpe nan mitan yo, li di:

And in those days Peter stood up in the midst of the disciples, and said, (the number of names together were about an hundred and twenty,)

Frè m' yo, sa Sentespri te anonse nan Liv yo, fòk sa te rive vre. Se konsa, nan bouch David, li te fè konnen davans ki jan Jida t'apral mennen moun ki te arete Jezi yo.

Men and brethren, this scripture must needs have been fulfilled, which the Holy Ghost by the mouth of David spake before concerning Judas, which was guide to them that took Jesus.

Jida te yonn nan nou, li te gen sèvis pa l' nan travay nou an.

For he was numbered with us, and had obtained part of this ministry.

(Avèk lajan yon te ba l' pou krim lan, Jida te achte yon moso tè. Se la li tonbe sou tèt, vant li pete, tout zantray li gaye sot deyò.

Now this man purchased a field with the reward of iniquity; and falling headlong, he burst asunder in the midst, and all his bowels gushed out.

Se bagay tout moun nan Jerizalèm konnen byen. Se pou sa nan lang yo, yo te rele tè a: Akeldama, ki vle di: jaden san an.)

And it was known unto all the dwellers at Jerusalem; insomuch as that field is called in their proper tongue, Aceldama, that is to say, The field of blood.

Men sa ki ekri nan Liv Sòm yo: Se pou kay li rete san moun. Se pou pesonn pa rete ladan li. Pi lwen ankò nou jwenn: Se pou yon lòt moun pran plas li nan travay la.

For it is written in the book of Psalms, Let his habitation be desolate, and let no man dwell therein: and his bishoprick let another take.

Se poutèt sa, nou bezwen yon lòt moun ansanm ak nou pou sèvi temwen Seyè Jezi te leve soti vivan nan lanmò. Moun sa a, fòk se yonn nan moun ki te toujou la avèk nou tout tan Seyè Jezi t'ap mache avèk nou nan tout peyi a,

Wherefore of these men which have companied with us all the time that the Lord Jesus went in and out among us,

depi lè Jan te batize l' la jouk jou li te kite nou an pou l' moute nan syèl la.

Beginning from the baptism of John, unto that same day that he was taken up from us, must one be ordained to be a witness with us of his resurrection.

Yo bay non de moun: Jozèf, yo te rele Basabas ki te gen yon ti non Jistis, epi Matyas.

And they appointed two, Joseph called Barsabas, who was surnamed Justus, and Matthias.

Apre sa, yo lapriyè konsa: Bondye, ou menm ki konnen kè tout moun, moutre nou kilès ou chwazi nan de moun sa yo,

And they prayed, and said, Thou, Lord, which knowest the hearts of all men, shew whether of these two thou hast chosen,

pou sèvi apòt nan plas Jida te kite pou li al kote ki te pou li a.

That he may take part of this ministry and apostleship, from which Judas by transgression fell, that he might go to his own place.

Apre sa, yo tire osò: se Matyas ki soti. Se konsa yo mete l' ansanm ak onz apòt yo.

And they gave forth their lots; and the lot fell upon Matthias; and he was numbered with the eleven apostles.
