Acts 21

Apre nou fin kite yo, nou pati sou batiman an. Nou fè k'ap tou dwat sou Kòs. Yon jou apre, nou te rive Wòd. Soti la, n' ale Patara.

And it came to pass, that after we were gotten from them, and had launched, we came with a straight course unto Coos, and the day following unto Rhodes, and from thence unto Patara:

La, nou jwenn yon batiman ki tapral peyi Finisi, nou moute abò l' epi nou pati.

And finding a ship sailing over unto Phenicia, we went aboard, and set forth.

Nou rive toupre lil Chip. Antan nou nan batiman an, nou te ka wè l' toupre konsa. Men, nou pase anba l' sou bò dwat li, nou fè k'ap pou peyi Siri. Nou fè tè lavil Tir. Batiman an te gen yon pakèt chay pou l' te debake la.

Now when we had discovered Cyprus, we left it on the left hand, and sailed into Syria, and landed at Tyre: for there the ship was to unlade her burden.

Nou jwenn kèk disip, nou pase sèt jou avèk yo. Lespri Bondye a te avèti yo pou yo te di Pòl pa moute Jerizalèm.

And finding disciples, we tarried there seven days: who said to Paul through the Spirit, that he should not go up to Jerusalem.

Lè sèt jou yo te pase, nou pati pou n' al fè wout nou. Tout disip yo, madanm yo ak tout pitit yo te kondi nou jouk andeyò lavil la. Nou tout nou mete ajenou sou rivaj la, nou lapriyè.

And when we had accomplished those days, we departed and went our way; and they all brought us on our way, with wives and children, till we were out of the city: and we kneeled down on the shore, and prayed.

Apre sa, nou yonn di lòt orevwa. Nou moute abò, yo menm yo tounen lakay yo.

And when we had taken our leave one of another, we took ship; and they returned home again.

Nou soti lavil Tir nou rive lavil Tolemayis, se la nou fini vwayaj sou lanmè a. N' al di frè ki te la yo bonjou, nou pase yon jou avèk yo.

And when we had finished our course from Tyre, we came to Ptolemais, and saluted the brethren, and abode with them one day.

Nan denmen, nou pati ankò, nou rive lavil Sezare. Nou antre lakay Filip, evanjelis la, nou fè ladesant la. Se te yonn nan sèt mesye yo te chwazi Jerizalèm yo.

And the next day we that were of Paul's company departed, and came unto Cæsarea: and we entered into the house of Philip the evangelist, which was one of the seven; and abode with him.

Li te gen kat pitit fi ki pa t' marye, yo t'ap bay mesaj yo te resevwa nan men Bondye.

And the same man had four daughters, virgins, which did prophesy.

Te gen kèk jou depi nou te la lè yon pwofèt yo rele Agabis desann soti nan Jide.

And as we tarried there many days, there came down from Judæa a certain prophet, named Agabus.

Li vin jwenn nou. Li pran sentiwon ki te nan ren Pòl la, li mare de pye pa l' ak de men pa l' yo, epi li di: Men sa Sentespri deklare: Se konsa jwif Jerizalèm yo pral mare mèt sentiwon sa a; apre sa, y'ap lage l' nan men moun lòt nasyon yo.

And when he was come unto us, he took Paul's girdle, and bound his own hands and feet, and said, Thus saith the Holy Ghost, So shall the Jews at Jerusalem bind the man that owneth this girdle, and shall deliver him into the hands of the Gentiles.

Lè nou tande sa, nou menm ansanm ak tout moun Sezare yo t'ap di Pòl konsa: Tanpri souple, pa moute Jerizalèm.

And when we heard these things, both we, and they of that place, besought him not to go up to Jerusalem.

Men, li reponn nou: Poukisa pou n'ap kriye konsa, pou n'ap chache kraze kouraj mwen konsa? Mwen menm, se pa pare sèlman mwen pare pou m' kite yo mare mwen. Menm si mouri vini, m'ap mouri pou Seyè Jezi nan Jerizalèm.

Then Paul answered, What mean ye to weep and to break mine heart? for I am ready not to be bound only, but also to die at Jerusalem for the name of the Lord Jesus.

Lè nou wè nou pa t' kapab chanje lide l', nou pa pèsiste sou sa anko. Nou di: Sa Bondye vle a, se sa k'ap fèt.

And when he would not be persuaded, we ceased, saying, The will of the Lord be done.

Apre nou fin pase kèk jou la, nou ranje zafè nou, nou pati pou Jerizalèm.

And after those days we took up our carriages, and went up to Jerusalem.

Te gen kèk nan disip lavil Sezare yo ki te al ansanm avèk nou tou. Yo mennen nou lakay Nazon, moun lil Chip, ki te yon disip depi lontan. Se la nou fè ladesant.

There went with us also certain of the disciples of Cæsarea, and brought with them one Mnason of Cyprus, an old disciple, with whom we should lodge.

Lè nou rive Jerizalèm, frè yo resevwa nou ak kè kontan.

And when we were come to Jerusalem, the brethren received us gladly.

Nan denmen, Pòl ale lakay Jak ansanm ak nou. Tout chèf reskonsab legliz yo te reyini la.

And the day following Paul went in with us unto James; and all the elders were present.

Pòl di yo bonjou, apre sa li tanmen rakonte yo an detay tou sa Bondye te fè ak travay li nan mitan moun ki pa jwif yo.

And when he had saluted them, he declared particularly what things God had wrought among the Gentiles by his ministry.

Lè yo fin tande l', yo tout pran fè lwanj Bondye. Apre sa yo di Pòl: Frè nou, ou wè tout kantite jwif ki kwè nan Jezi. Malgre sa, yo tout byen zele pou lalwa a toujou.

And when they heard it, they glorified the Lord, and said unto him, Thou seest, brother, how many thousands of Jews there are which believe; and they are all zealous of the law:

Yo vin di yo ki jan ou menm Pòl, w'ap moutre tout jwif k'ap viv nan mitan lòt nasyon yo pou yo kite Lalwa Moyiz la tonbe. W'ap di yo pa sikonsi pitit yo, ni yo pa bezwen swiv koutim jwif yo.

And they are informed of thee, that thou teachest all the Jews which are among the Gentiles to forsake Moses, saying that they ought not to circumcise their children, neither to walk after the customs.

Sa pou n' fè la a menm? Paske, talè konsa yo pral konnen ou rive isit la.

What is it therefore? the multitude must needs come together: for they will hear that thou art come.

Ou pral fè sa nou pral di ou la a: Gen kat moun ki te fè yon ve.

Do therefore this that we say to thee: We have four men which have a vow on them;

Ou pral avèk yo, wa patisipe ansanm ak yo nan tout sèvis y'ap fè pou mete tèt yo nan kondisyon pou sèvi Bondye ankò. Wa fè tout depans pou yo, pou yo kapab fè kale tèt yo. Konsa, tout moun va konnen tou sa yo t'ap di sou ou a pa t' vre. Okontrè, ou menm pou tèt pa ou, ou toujou ap obeyi Lalwa Moyiz la.

Them take, and purify thyself with them, and be at charges with them, that they may shave their heads: and all may know that those things, whereof they were informed concerning thee, are nothing; but that thou thyself also walkest orderly, and keepest the law.

Men, pou moun ki pa jwif yo epi ki kwè nan Jezi koulye a, nou deja ekri yo, nou voye di yo sa n' te deside: piga yo manje vyann bèt ki te ofri pou touye bay zidòl, piga yo manje san, ni vyann bèt ki mouri toufe. Egzante tout dezòd lachè.

As touching the Gentiles which believe, we have written and concluded that they observe no such thing, save only that they keep themselves from things offered to idols, and from blood, and from strangled, and from fornication.

Lè sa a, Pòl pran kat mesye yo, epi nan denmen li patisipe avèk yo nan sèvis pou mete yo nan kondisyon pou sèvi Bondye ankò. Apre sa, li al nan tanp lan, li fè konnen ki jou sèvis la va fini, kilè pou yo ofri bèt pou yo touye pou yo chak la.

Then Paul took the men, and the next day purifying himself with them entered into the temple, to signify the accomplishment of the days of purification, until that an offering should be offered for every one of them.

Sèt jou yo te prèt pou fini lè jwif ki soti nan pwovens Lazi yo wè Pòl nan tanp lan. Yo moute tèt foul moun yo, yo mete men sou li.

And when the seven days were almost ended, the Jews which were of Asia, when they saw him in the temple, stirred up all the people, and laid hands on him,

Yo t'ap rele: Moun ras Izrayèl yo, pote nou konkou! Men nonm k'ap plede mache toupatou pale mal ak tout moun sou do pèp Izrayèl la, sou do Lalwa Moyiz la, sou do tanp sa a. Koulye a, li penmèt li fè moun ki pa jwif antre nan tanp lan, l'ap lakòz kote nou mete apa pou Bondye a pa nan kondisyon pou fè sèvis Bondye.

Crying out, Men of Israel, help: This is the man, that teacheth all men every where against the people, and the law, and this place: and further brought Greeks also into the temple, and hath polluted this holy place.

(Yo t'ap di sa, paske yo te wè Twofim, moun lavil Efèz, ansanm ak Pòl nan lavil la. Yo te konprann Pòl te fè l' antre nan tanp lan tou.)

(For they had seen before with him in the city Trophimus an Ephesian, whom they supposed that Paul had brought into the temple.)

Tout lavil la te tèt anba, moun kouri soti toupatou. Yo mete men sou Pòl. Yo trennen l' deyò, epi lamenm yo fèmen tout pòt tanp lan.

And all the city was moved, and the people ran together: and they took Paul, and drew him out of the temple: and forthwith the doors were shut.

Yo t'ap chache yon jan pou touye Pòl, lè nouvèl la rive nan zòrèy kòmandan batayon women an. Yo te vin di l' ki jan tout lavil la te tèt anba.

And as they went about to kill him, tidings came unto the chief captain of the band, that all Jerusalem was in an uproar.

Lamenm li pran kèk ofisye ak kèk sòlda avèk li, li kouri desann bò kote foul moun yo. Yo menm menm, lè yo wè kòmandan an ak sòlda yo yo sispann bat Pòl.

Who immediately took soldiers and centurions, and ran down unto them: and when they saw the chief captain and the soldiers, they left beating of Paul.

Kòmandan an pwoche bò kot Pòl, li fè yo arete l', li bay lòd pou yo mare l' ak de chenn. Lèfini, li mande ki moun li te ye, kisa l' te fè.

Then the chief captain came near, and took him, and commanded him to be bound with two chains; and demanded who he was, and what he had done.

Men, nan foul moun yo, yon pati t'ap rele yon bagay, yon lòt pati t'ap rele yon lòt bagay. Sitèlman yo t'ap fè dezòd, kòmandan an pa t' kapab fin konprann sa yo t'ap di a. Lè l' wè sa, li bay lòd pou yo mennen Pòl nan kazèn lan.

And some cried one thing, some another, among the multitude: and when he could not know the certainty for the tumult, he commanded him to be carried into the castle.

Lè sòlda yo rive bò eskalye a avèk Pòl, yo te blije leve l' anlè pou yo te sa pase avè l', sitèlman moun yo te ankòlè.

And when he came upon the stairs, so it was, that he was borne of the soldiers for the violence of the people.

Yo tout yo t'ap swiv li, yo t'ap rele: Touye li.

For the multitude of the people followed after, crying, Away with him.

Yo tapral fè Pòl antre nan kazèn lan, lè Pòl di kòmandan an: Eske mwen ka di ou kichòy? Kòmandan an mande li: Kouman? Apa ou pale grèk?

And as Paul was to be led into the castle, he said unto the chief captain, May I speak unto thee? Who said, Canst thou speak Greek?

Si se sa, se pa ou menm ki ejipsyen an, nonm ki te kòmanse yon revolisyon tou lòt jou a epi ki te mennen katmil (4.000) bandi avè l' nan dezè a?

Art not thou that Egyptian, which before these days madest an uproar, and leddest out into the wilderness four thousand men that were murderers?

Pòl reponn li: Se jwif mwen ye. Mwen fèt lavil Tas nan peyi Silisi. Ou wè se sitwayen yon gwo lavil mwen ye. Tanpri, kite m' pale ak pèp la.

But Paul said, I am a man which am a Jew of Tarsus, a city in Cilicia, a citizen of no mean city: and, I beseech thee, suffer me to speak unto the people.

Kòmandan an ba l' pèmisyon. Lè sa a, Pòl kanpe sou eskalye a, li fè pèp la yon siy avèk men li. Lè yo sispann fè bri, Pòl pale ak yo nan lang ebre. Li di yo konsa:

And when he had given him licence, Paul stood on the stairs, and beckoned with the hand unto the people. And when there was made a great silence, he spake unto them in the Hebrew tongue, saying,
