Acts 11

And the apostles and brethren that were in Judæa heard that the Gentiles had also received the word of God.

Apòt yo ansanm ak frè yo ki te nan Jide te tande ki jan moun ki pa jwif yo te resevwa pawòl Bondye a tou.

And when Peter was come up to Jerusalem, they that were of the circumcision contended with him,

Lè Pyè tounen moute Jerizalèm, jwif ki te kwè yo tanmen kritike li.

Saying, Thou wentest in to men uncircumcised, and didst eat with them.

Yo di l' konsa: Apa ou antre lakay moun ki pa sikonsi, ou manje ak yo?

But Peter rehearsed the matter from the beginning, and expounded it by order unto them, saying,

Lè sa a, Pyè rakonte yo sak te pase nan tout ti detay. Li di yo:

I was in the city of Joppa praying: and in a trance I saw a vision, A certain vessel descend, as it had been a great sheet, let down from heaven by four corners; and it came even to me:

Mwen te lavil Jope, mwen t'ap lapriyè, lè m' fè yon vizyon. Mwen wè yon bagay ki t'ap desann vin jwenn mwen, tankou yon gwo dra mare nan kat bout, ki t'ap desann sot nan syèl la. Li rive toupre mwen.

Upon the which when I had fastened mine eyes, I considered, and saw fourfooted beasts of the earth, and wild beasts, and creeping things, and fowls of the air.

Lè m' gade byen gade, mwen wè tout kalite bèt andedan li: bèt kat pat, bèt nan bwa, bèt ki trennen sou vant ak zwezo.

And I heard a voice saying unto me, Arise, Peter; slay and eat.

Epi m' tande yon vwa ki di m' konsa: Leve non, Pyè, touye, manje.

But I said, Not so, Lord: for nothing common or unclean hath at any time entered into my mouth.

Men mwen di: Non, Mèt. Mwen pa janm mete move manje osinon manje ki pa bon pou moun k'ap sèvi Bondye nan bouch mwen.

But the voice answered me again from heaven, What God hath cleansed, that call not thou common.

Menm vwa a pale ankò nan syèl la, li di mwen konsa: Bagay Bondye di ki bon pou moun k'ap sèvi l', pa di l' pa bon pou yo.

And this was done three times: and all were drawn up again into heaven.

An twa fwa sa repete. Epi bagay la moute tounen nan syèl la.

And, behold, immediately there were three men already come unto the house where I was, sent from Cæsarea unto me.

Menm lè a, twa moun ki te soti Sezare vin rive nan kay kote m' te ye a. Yo te voye yo chache mwen.

And the Spirit bade me go with them, nothing doubting. Moreover these six brethren accompanied me, and we entered into the man's house:

Lespri a di m' pati ak yo san rete ap kalkile. Sis frè sa yo te al ansanm avè m' tou Sezare. Nou tout nou antre lakay Kònèy.

And he shewed us how he had seen an angel in his house, which stood and said unto him, Send men to Joppa, and call for Simon, whose surname is Peter;

Kònèy rakonte nou ki jan l' te wè yon zanj Bondye kanpe nan mitan lakay li. Zanj lan di li: Voye yon moun lavil Jope al rele Simon (ki gen yon ti non Pyè).

Who shall tell thee words, whereby thou and all thy house shall be saved.

Simon sa a va di ou pawòl ki pou sove ou ansanm ak tout fanmi ou.

And as I began to speak, the Holy Ghost fell on them, as on us at the beginning.

Mwen te kòmanse pale lè Sentespri a desann sou yo menm jan li te desann sou nou premye jou a.

Then remembered I the word of the Lord, how that he said, John indeed baptized with water; but ye shall be baptized with the Holy Ghost.

Lè sa a, mwen vin chonje sa Seyè a te di: Jan te batize nan dlo, men nou menm nou gen pou n' resevwa batèm nan Sentespri a.

Forasmuch then as God gave them the like gift as he did unto us, who believed on the Lord Jesus Christ; what was I, that I could withstand God?

Konsa, Bondye te bay moun sa yo menm kado li te ban nou an lè n' te mete konfyans nou nan Seyè Jezikri. Kisa m' te ye menm pou m' te fè tèt ak Bondye?

When they heard these things, they held their peace, and glorified God, saying, Then hath God also to the Gentiles granted repentance unto life.

Lè yo fin tande pawòl sa yo, yo sispann kritike l', yo pran fè lwanj Bondye. Yo t'ap di: Se vre wi. Bondye bay moun ki pa jwif yo chans pou yo chanje, pou yo ka resevwa lavi tou.

Now they which were scattered abroad upon the persecution that arose about Stephen travelled as far as Phenice, and Cyprus, and Antioch, preaching the word to none but unto the Jews only.

Avèk pèsekisyon ki te tonbe sou yo apre lanmò Etyèn lan, disip yo te gaye. Genyen ki te al jouk nan peyi Finisi, nan lil Chip, ak lavil Antiòch. Men, yo t'ap anonse pawòl la bay jwif yo sèlman.

And some of them were men of Cyprus and Cyrene, which, when they were come to Antioch, spake unto the Grecians, preaching the Lord Jesus.

Lè sa a, kèk disip ki te moun Chip ak moun Sirèn al lavil Antiòch. Antan yo la a, yo pale ak moun Lagrès yo; yo fè yo konnen bon nouvèl ki pale sou Jezi Seyè a.

And the hand of the Lord was with them: and a great number believed, and turned unto the Lord.

Pouvwa Bondye te avèk yo; anpil nan moun Lagrès yo rive kwè, yo te tounen vin jwenn Bondye.

Then tidings of these things came unto the ears of the church which was in Jerusalem: and they sent forth Barnabas, that he should go as far as Antioch.

Legliz Jerizalèm lan vin aprann nouvèl la. Li voye Banabas lavil Antiòch.

Who, when he came, and had seen the grace of God, was glad, and exhorted them all, that with purpose of heart they would cleave unto the Lord.

Lè Banabas rive, li wè ki jan Bondye t'ap beni disip yo. Li pa t' manke kontan, li t'ap ankouraje yo pou yo tout te kenbe fèm ak tout kè yo nan sèvis Seyè a san dekouraje.

For he was a good man, and full of the Holy Ghost and of faith: and much people was added unto the Lord.

Banabas sa a te yon bon gason. Li te gen anpil konfyans nan Bondye, epi Sentespri te kenbe l' anba pouvwa l' tout tan. Anpil moun te vin kwè nan Seyè a.

Then departed Barnabas to Tarsus, for to seek Saul:

Apre sa, Banabas ale lavil Tas, li al chache Sòl.

And when he had found him, he brought him unto Antioch. And it came to pass, that a whole year they assembled themselves with the church, and taught much people. And the disciples were called Christians first in Antioch.

Lè l' jwenn li, li mennen l' lavil Antiòch. Yo pase yon lanne ansanm ap fè reyinyon ak legliz la. Yo t'ap moutre anpil moun sa pou yo fè. Se nan lavil Antiòch sa a premyè fwa yo te rele disip yo kretyen.

And in these days came prophets from Jerusalem unto Antioch.

Lè sa a, kèk pwofèt soti Jerizalèm rive Antiòch.

And there stood up one of them named Agabus, and signified by the Spirit that there should be great dearth throughout all the world: which came to pass in the days of Claudius Cæsar.

Yonn ladan yo, ki te rele Agabis, leve epi avèk pouvwa Sentespri, li fè konnen tapral gen yon gwo grangou sou tout latè. (Grangou sa a te rive vre sou reny wa Klòd.)

Then the disciples, every man according to his ability, determined to send relief unto the brethren which dwelt in Judæa:

Disip yo deside pou chak moun bay sa yo kapab pou yo voye ede frè yo ki te nan peyi Jide.

Which also they did, and sent it to the elders by the hands of Barnabas and Saul.

Se sa menm yo te fè. Apre sa, yo voye Banabas ak Sòl pote sa yo te ranmase a bay chèf fanmi yo ki te nan Jide.
