Acts 10

There was a certain man in Cæsarea called Cornelius, a centurion of the band called the Italian band,

Nan lavil Sezare te gen yon nonm ki te rele Kònèy. Li te kaptenn yon batayon sòlda moun peyi Itali nan lame women an.

A devout man, and one that feared God with all his house, which gave much alms to the people, and prayed to God alway.

Kònèy te yon nonm ki t'ap sèvi Bondye jwif yo. Li menm ak tout fanmi l', yo te gen krentif pou Bondye. Li te fè anpil pou pòv yo pami pèp jwif la. Epi se tout tan li t'ap lapriyè Bondye.

He saw in a vision evidently about the ninth hour of the day an angel of God coming in to him, and saying unto him, Cornelius.

Yon jou apremidi, vè twazè, li fè yon vizyon: aklè konsa, li wè yon zanj Bondye antre lakay li. Zanj lan rele li: Kònèy!

And when he looked on him, he was afraid, and said, What is it, Lord? And he said unto him, Thy prayers and thine alms are come up for a memorial before God.

Li gade zanj lan, li te pè, li di l' konsa: Sak genyen, Mèt? Zanj lan reponn li: Bondye asepte lapriyè ou yo ansanm ak tout byen ou te fè pou pòv yo. Epi li chonje ou.

And now send men to Joppa, and call for one Simon, whose surname is Peter:

Koulye a, voye moun lavil Jope, fè y' al chache yon nonm yo rele Simon (li gen yon ti non Pyè).

He lodgeth with one Simon a tanner, whose house is by the sea side: he shall tell thee what thou oughtest to do.

Li fè ladesant lakay Simon, bòs tanè a, ki gen kay li bò lanmè a.

And when the angel which spake unto Cornelius was departed, he called two of his household servants, and a devout soldier of them that waited on him continually;

Fini zanj Bondye a fin pale, li ale. Kònèy rele de domestik ansanm ak yonn nan gad kò l' ki t'ap sèvi Bondye jwif yo tou.

And when he had declared all these things unto them, he sent them to Joppa.

Li rakonte yo tou sak te pase. Lèfini, li voye yo Jope.

On the morrow, as they went on their journey, and drew nigh unto the city, Peter went up upon the housetop to pray about the sixth hour:

Nan denmen, vè midi konsa, yo te nan wout toujou, men yo te prèt pou rive Jope. Menm lè sa a, Pyè moute anwo sou tèt kay la pou li al lapriyè.

And he became very hungry, and would have eaten: but while they made ready, he fell into a trance,

Grangou bare l', li te anvi manje. Pandan yo t'ap pare manje pou li, li fè yon vizyon:

And saw heaven opened, and a certain vessel descending unto him, as it had been a great sheet knit at the four corners, and let down to the earth:

Li wè syèl la louvri epi yon bagay t'ap desann soti ladan li. Bagay la te tankou yon gwo dra mare nan kat bout li ki t'ap file desann sou latè.

Wherein were all manner of fourfooted beasts of the earth, and wild beasts, and creeping things, and fowls of the air.

Te gen tout kalite bèt kat pat, tout kalite bèt ki trennen sou vant ak tout kalite zwezo ladan li.

And there came a voice to him, Rise, Peter; kill, and eat.

Li tande yon vwa ki di l' konsa: Leve non, Pyè. Touye, lè ou fini, manje.

But Peter said, Not so, Lord; for I have never eaten any thing that is common or unclean.

Men, Pyè di: Non, Mèt. Mwen pa janm manje move manje ni manje ki pa bon pou moun k'ap sèvi Bondye.

And the voice spake unto him again the second time, What God hath cleansed, that call not thou common.

Menm vwa a pale ankò, li di li: Bagay Bondye di ki bon pou moun k'ap sèvi l', ou menm, pa di l' pa bon.

This was done thrice: and the vessel was received up again into heaven.

An twa fwa sa repete. Apre sa, lamenm bagay la moute tounen nan syèl la.

Now while Peter doubted in himself what this vision which he had seen should mean, behold, the men which were sent from Cornelius had made enquiry for Simon's house, and stood before the gate,

Pyè menm pa t' konn ki sans pou l' te bay vizyon li te fè a. Men, tout tan sa a, moun Kònèy te voye yo t'ap mande ki bò kay Simon an te ye. Yo te rive devan pòt la.

And called, and asked whether Simon, which was surnamed Peter, were lodged there.

Yo rele moun, epi yo mande: Eske se isit Simon yo rele Pyè a fè ladesant li?

While Peter thought on the vision, the Spirit said unto him, Behold, three men seek thee.

Pyè t'ap kalkile toujou sou sans pou l' te bay vizyon an, lè Sentespri di li: Koute. Gen twa moun anba a k'ap mande pou ou.

Arise therefore, and get thee down, and go with them, doubting nothing: for I have sent them.

Leve non, desann. Pati ak yo touswit, se mwen menm ki voye yo.

Then Peter went down to the men which were sent unto him from Cornelius; and said, Behold, I am he whom ye seek: what is the cause wherefore ye are come?

Pyè desann, li al jwenn mesye yo, epi l' di yo: Se mwen menm n'ap chache a. Kisak mennen nou isit la?

And they said, Cornelius the centurion, a just man, and one that feareth God, and of good report among all the nation of the Jews, was warned from God by an holy angel to send for thee into his house, and to hear words of thee.

Yo reponn: Se kaptenn Kònèy ki voye nou. Nonm sa a, se yon bon gason ki gen krentif pou Bondye. Tout pèp jwif la konsidere l' anpil. Enben, yon zanj Bondye te di l' pou l' te voye chache ou pou ou vin lakay li. Li bezwen tande sa ou gen pou di l' la.

Then called he them in, and lodged them. And on the morrow Peter went away with them, and certain brethren from Joppa accompanied him.

Pyè fè yo antre. Li fè yo pase nwit lan avè li. Nan denmen, li leve, li pati ak yo. Kèk frè lavil Jope ale avè l' tou.

And the morrow after they entered into Cæsarea. And Cornelius waited for them, and had called together his kinsmen and near friends.

Yo rive Sezare yon jou apre. Kònèy t'ap tann yo ak tout fanmi l' ansanm ak kèk bon zanmi l' li te envite lakay li.

And as Peter was coming in, Cornelius met him, and fell down at his feet, and worshipped him.

Pyè fè sa pou l' antre, Kònèy kouri vin devan l', li lage kò l' nan pye l', li bese tèt li byen ba devan li.

But Peter took him up, saying, Stand up; I myself also am a man.

Men, Pyè fè l' leve, li di l' konsa: Kanpe non, monchè. Se yon moun mwen ye tou.

And as he talked with him, he went in, and found many that were come together.

Pyè kontinye pale avèk li. Yo antre nan kay la epi Pyè jwenn yon bann moun ki te sanble.

And he said unto them, Ye know how that it is an unlawful thing for a man that is a Jew to keep company, or come unto one of another nation; but God hath shewed me that I should not call any man common or unclean.

Li di yo: Nou konnen sa pa fèt: jwif pa gen dwa mele ak moun lòt nasyon ni mete pye lakay yo. Relijyon l' pa penmèt sa. Men, Bondye fè m' konnen, mwen pa gen dwa gade pesonn pou move moun ni pou moun ki pa nan kondisyon pou sèvi Bondye.

Therefore came I unto you without gainsaying, as soon as I was sent for: I ask therefore for what intent ye have sent for me?

Se poutèt sa, voye ou voye rele m' lan, mwen pa fè ni yonn ni de, mwen vini. Koulye a, mwen ta renmen konnen poukisa ou voye chache m' lan.

And Cornelius said, Four days ago I was fasting until this hour; and at the ninth hour I prayed in my house, and, behold, a man stood before me in bright clothing,

Kònèy di li: Jòdi a fè kat jou, mwen te lakay mwen, mwen t'ap lapriyè vè twazè konsa nan apremidi. Mwen rete konsa, mwen wè yon nonm ki te gen yon bèl rad byen klere sou li kanpe devan mwen.

And said, Cornelius, thy prayer is heard, and thine alms are had in remembrance in the sight of God.

Epi l' di mwen: Kònèy, Bondye tande lapriyè ou, li chonje tout byen ou fè pou pòv yo.

Send therefore to Joppa, and call hither Simon, whose surname is Peter; he is lodged in the house of one Simon a tanner by the sea side: who, when he cometh, shall speak unto thee.

Voye yon moun lavil Jope al rele Simon ki gen ti non Pyè a. Se lakay Simon, bòs tanè ki bò lanmè a, li ye.

Immediately therefore I sent to thee; and thou hast well done that thou art come. Now therefore are we all here present before God, to hear all things that are commanded thee of God.

Menm lè a, mwen voye chache ou, epi ou asepte vini. Koulye a, men nou tout la devan Bondye, n'ap koute tou sa Bondye ba ou lòd di nou.

Then Peter opened his mouth, and said, Of a truth I perceive that God is no respecter of persons:

Pyè pran lapawòl, li di: Wi, koulye a, mwen konprann sa se vre: Bondye pa gade sou figi moun.

But in every nation he that feareth him, and worketh righteousness, is accepted with him.

Li kontan ak tout moun nan tout nasyon ki gen krentif pou li epi ki fè sa ki dwat devan li.

The word which God sent unto the children of Israel, preaching peace by Jesus Christ: (he is Lord of all:)

Nou konnen mesaj Bondye te voye bay pèp Izrayèl la: li fè yo konnen bon nouvèl la ki di: Bondye voye Jezi ki Mèt tout moun pou bay tout moun kè poze.

That word, I say, ye know, which was published throughout all Judæa, and began from Galilee, after the baptism which John preached;

Nou konnen sak te rive nan tout peyi Jide a. Bagay sa yo kòmanse nan peyi Galile, apre batèm Jan t'ap anonse a.

How God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Ghost and with power: who went about doing good, and healing all that were oppressed of the devil; for God was with him.

Nou konnen tou ki jan Bondye te vide pouvwa Sentespri l' sou Jezi, moun Nazarèt la. Jezi mache nan tout peyi a, li t'ap fè byen, li t'ap geri tout moun ki te anba pouvwa Satan paske Bondye te kanpe avèk li.

And we are witnesses of all things which he did both in the land of the Jews, and in Jerusalem; whom they slew and hanged on a tree:

Nou menm k'ap pale la a, nou temwen tou sa li te fè nan peyi jwif yo ak nan Jerizalèm. Yo te touye l', yo te kloure l' sou kwa a.

Him God raised up the third day, and shewed him openly;

Men sou twa jou, Bondye fè l' leve soti vivan nan lanmò. Apre sa, li fè moun wè li vivan.

Not to all the people, but unto witnesses chosen before of God, even to us, who did eat and drink with him after he rose from the dead.

Se pa tout moun non ki te wè li. Se nou menm ase ki te wè li. Bondye te chwazi nou davans pou sèvi l' temwen. Wi, nou manje avè l', nou bwè avè l' apre Bondye te fè l' tounen vivan soti nan lanmò.

And he commanded us to preach unto the people, and to testify that it is he which was ordained of God to be the Judge of quick and dead.

Li ban nou lòd mache fè konnen bon nouvèl la bay pèp la, pou n' fè konnen se Jezi menm Bondye mete pou jije tout moun san wete yonn, kit yo vivan kit yo mouri deja.

To him give all the prophets witness, that through his name whosoever believeth in him shall receive remission of sins.

Tout pwofèt yo te di sa sou li: Nenpòt moun ki met konfyans yo nan Jezi va resevwa padon pou tout peche yo gremesi non sa a.

While Peter yet spake these words, the Holy Ghost fell on all them which heard the word.

Pyè t'ap pale toujou lè Sentespri a desann sou tout moun ki t'ap koute mesaj la.

And they of the circumcision which believed were astonished, as many as came with Peter, because that on the Gentiles also was poured out the gift of the Holy Ghost.

Frè ki te soti lavil Jope ansanm ak Pyè yo se jwif yo te ye. Yo te sezi wè ki jan Bondye te bay moun ki pa jwif yo Sentespri l' an kantite.

For they heard them speak with tongues, and magnify God. Then answered Peter,

Yo te tande moun lòt nasyon yo ap pale nan lòt lang. Yo t'ap fè lwanj Bondye, yo t'ap di jan li gen pouvwa. Lè sa a Pyè di:

Can any man forbid water, that these should not be baptized, which have received the Holy Ghost as well as we?

Moun sa yo resevwa Sentespri menm jan avèk nou. Koulye a, ki moun ki ka anpeche nou batize yo nan dlo tou?

And he commanded them to be baptized in the name of the Lord. Then prayed they him to tarry certain days.

Epi li bay lòd batize yo nan non Jezikri. Apre sa, yo mande Pyè pou l' rete pase kèk jou avèk yo.
