Acts 28

Se lè nou fin sove, nou vin konnen lil la te rele Malt.

And when they were escaped, then they knew that the island was called Melita.

Moun peyi a te aji byen anpil avèk nou. Lapli t'ap tonbe, te fè frèt anpil. Yo limen yon gwo boukan pou resevwa nou.

And the barbarous people shewed us no little kindness: for they kindled a fire, and received us every one, because of the present rain, and because of the cold.

Pòl te ranmase yon ti pakèt fachin, li t'ap mete l' nan dife a lè yon sèpan soti nan chalè dife a, li vlope nan men li.

And when Paul had gathered a bundle of sticks, and laid them on the fire, there came a viper out of the heat, and fastened on his hand.

Lè moun zile yo wè sèpan an pandye nan men Pòl, yonn t'ap di lòt: Gen lè nonm sa a se yon ansasen. Li chape nan nofraj la, epi men jistis Bondye ap pousib li toujou.

And when the barbarians saw the venomous beast hang on his hand, they said among themselves, No doubt this man is a murderer, whom, though he hath escaped the sea, yet vengeance suffereth not to live.

Pòl annik souke men l', epi bèt la tonbe nan dife a. Li pa t' santi anyen ankò.

And he shook off the beast into the fire, and felt no harm.

Lòt moun yo menm t'ap tann pou yo wè Pòl vin anfle osinon pou l' tonbe mouri frèt. Moun yo tann, yo tann. Lè yo wè anyen pa rive l', yo chanje lide, yo di: Nonm sa a, se yon bondye.

Howbeit they looked when he should have swollen, or fallen down dead suddenly: but after they had looked a great while, and saw no harm come to him, they changed their minds, and said that he was a god.

Toupre bò la, te gen yon bitasyon ki te pou Pibliyis, pi grannèg nan lil la. Li resevwa nou ak kè kontan. Nou fè ladesant lakay li pandan twa jou.

In the same quarters were possessions of the chief man of the island, whose name was Publius; who received us, and lodged us three days courteously.

Papa Pibliyis te kouche malad ak yon lafyèb ak dyare. Pòl antre ale wè l', li lapriyè, li mete men l' sou tèt li, li geri li.

And it came to pass, that the father of Publius lay sick of a fever and of a bloody flux: to whom Paul entered in, and prayed, and laid his hands on him, and healed him.

Apre sa, tout lòt moun ki te malad nan lil la te vini tou. Yo tout te geri.

So when this was done, others also, which had diseases in the island, came, and were healed:

Yo fè nou anpil kado. Lè pou n' anbake menm, yo ban nou tou sa nou te bezwen pou vwayaj la.

Who also honoured us with many honours; and when we departed, they laded us with such things as were necessary.

Apre twa mwa, nou pati nan yon batiman Aleksandri ki te pase tout tan fredi a nan lil la. Yo te rele batiman an Marasa.

And after three months we departed in a ship of Alexandria, which had wintered in the isle, whose sign was Castor and Pollux.

Lè nou rive Sirakiz, nou rete la pandan twa jou.

And landing at Syracuse, we tarried there three days.

Lè nou pati, nou lonje kòt la jouk nou rive Rijio. Nan denmen, yon van swèt leve: apre de jou vwayaj nou rive Pouzòl.

And from thence we fetched a compass, and came to Rhegium: and after one day the south wind blew, and we came the next day to Puteoli:

La, nou jwenn kèk frè ki mande pou n' pase sèt jou ak yo. Se konsa nou rive lavil Wòm.

Where we found brethren, and were desired to tarry with them seven days: and so we went toward Rome.

Frè lavil Wòm yo ki te pran nouvèl nou vin kontre nou jouk nan Mache Apiyis ak nan Kalfou Twa Kafe. Lè Pòl wè yo, li di Bondye mèsi, li pran kouraj.

And from thence, when the brethren heard of us, they came to meet us as far as Appii forum, and The three taverns: whom when Paul saw, he thanked God, and took courage.

Lè nou rive Wòm, yo kite Pòl rete pou kont li ak yon sèl sòlda pou veye li.

And when we came to Rome, the centurion delivered the prisoners to the captain of the guard: but Paul was suffered to dwell by himself with a soldier that kept him.

Apre twa jou, Pòl fè rele chèf jwif yo ki lavil Wòm. Lè yo reyini, li di yo: Frè m' yo, san m' pa fè anyen kont pèp la, ni kont koutim zansèt nou yo, jwif yo rete konsa, yo arete m' lavil Jerizalèm, yo lage m' nan men women yo.

And it came to pass, that after three days Paul called the chief of the Jews together: and when they were come together, he said unto them, Men and brethren, though I have committed nothing against the people, or customs of our fathers, yet was I delivered prisoner from Jerusalem into the hands of the Romans.

Lè women yo fin keksyonnen m', yo te vle lage m' paske yo pa t' jwenn okenn rezon ki pou ta fè m' merite lanmò.

Who, when they had examined me, would have let me go, because there was no cause of death in me.

Men, jwif yo kenbe la ak yo. Mwen te blije mande pou Seza tande kòz mwen. Men, mwen menm pou tèt pa m', mwen pa gen okenn plent pou m' fè pou moun menm peyi avè m' yo.

But when the Jews spake against it, I was constrained to appeal unto Cæsar; not that I had ought to accuse my nation of.

Se poutèt sa mwen fè rele nou pou m' wè nou, pou m' pale ak nou, pou m' di nou se poutèt moun pèp Izrayèl t'ap tann lan kifè yo mare m' ak chenn sa a.

For this cause therefore have I called for you, to see you, and to speak with you: because that for the hope of Israel I am bound with this chain.

Yo reponn li: Nou pa resevwa okenn lèt soti peyi Jide sou ou. Okenn frè pa soti laba vin isit pou ban nou nouvèl, ni pou pale mal sou ou.

And they said unto him, We neither received letters out of Judæa concerning thee, neither any of the brethren that came shewed or spake any harm of thee.

Men, nou ta renmen tande kisa ou gen nan tèt ou, paske nou konnen toupatou yo pa vle wè gwoup ou fè pati a.

But we desire to hear of thee what thou thinkest: for as concerning this sect, we know that every where it is spoken against.

Yo fikse l' yon jou. Lè sa a, yo te anpil ki te vin jwenn li kote li te ye a. Depi nan maten jouk nan aswè, Pòl t'ap ba yo esplikasyon: li t'ap fè yo konnen gouvènman Bondye ki wa a. Li pran lalwa Moyiz la ak liv pwofèt yo, li t'ap chache fè yo rekonèt ki moun Jezi ye.

And when they had appointed him a day, there came many to him into his lodging; to whom he expounded and testified the kingdom of God, persuading them concerning Jesus, both out of the law of Moses, and out of the prophets, from morning till evening.

Gen ladan yo ki te kwè sa l' t'ap di yo. Men, gen lòt ki pa t' vle kwè menm.

And some believed the things which were spoken, and some believed not.

Yo vire do yo san yo pa t' tonbe dakò. Lè Pòl wè sa, li ajoute pawòl sa a pou yo: Sentespri te gen rezon pale konsa ak zansèt nou yo nan bouch pwofèt Ezayi, lè l' te di:

And when they agreed not among themselves, they departed, after that Paul had spoken one word, Well spake the Holy Ghost by Esaias the prophet unto our fathers,

Ale jwenn pèp sa a, di l' pou mwen: Pou tande n'a tande nan zòrèy nou, men nou p'ap konprann anyen. Pou gade n'a gade ak je nou, men nou p'ap wè.

Saying, Go unto this people, and say, Hearing ye shall hear, and shall not understand; and seeing ye shall see, and not perceive:

Paske lespri pèp sa a vin lou, yo bouche zòrèy yo, yo fèmen je yo, pou yo pa wè ak je yo, pou yo pa tande nan zòrèy yo, pou yo pa konprann ak lespri yo, pou yo pa tounen vin jwenn mwen pou m' geri yo. Se Bondye menm ki di sa.

For the heart of this people is waxed gross, and their ears are dull of hearing, and their eyes have they closed; lest they should see with their eyes, and hear with their ears, and understand with their heart, and should be converted, and I should heal them.

Apre sa, Pòl di yo: Koulye a, nou fèt pou nou konnen Bondye fè moun lòt nasyon yo konnen l'ap delivre yo tou. Yo menm, y'ap tande li.

Be it known therefore unto you, that the salvation of God is sent unto the Gentiles, and that they will hear it.

Lè l' te fin di sa, jwif yo al fè wout yo, yo t'ap diskite yonn ak lòt.

And when he had said these words, the Jews departed, and had great reasoning among themselves.

Pòl te rete pandan dezan nan yon kay li te lwe. Li te resevwa tout moun ki te vin wè li.

And Paul dwelt two whole years in his own hired house, and received all that came in unto him,

Li t'ap fè konnen gouvènman Bondye ki wa a, li t'ap moutre moun yo tout bagay sou Jezikri, Seyè a, kareman san pesonn pa janm chache l' kont.

Preaching the kingdom of God, and teaching those things which concern the Lord Jesus Christ, with all confidence, no man forbidding him.
