Acts 13

Now there were in the church that was at Antioch certain prophets and teachers; as Barnabas, and Simeon that was called Niger, and Lucius of Cyrene, and Manaen, which had been brought up with Herod the tetrarch, and Saul.

Nan legliz Antiòch la te gen kèk pwofèt ak moun ki t'ap bay enstriksyon: se te Banabas, Simeon (yo te rele Ti Nwa), Lisiyis, moun Sirèn, Manayèn (ki te grandi ansanm ak Ewòd, gouvènè a), epi Sòl.

As they ministered to the Lord, and fasted, the Holy Ghost said, Separate me Barnabas and Saul for the work whereunto I have called them.

Yon jou, yo t'ap fè sèvis pou Bondye, yo t'ap fè jèn, lè Sentespri di yo: Mete Banabas ak Sòl apa pou mwen, pou yo fè travay mwen chwazi pou yo fè a.

And when they had fasted and prayed, and laid their hands on them, they sent them away.

Lè sa a, yo fè jèn, yo lapriyè, yo mete men sou tèt Banabas ak Sòl, epi yo kite yo ale.

So they, being sent forth by the Holy Ghost, departed unto Seleucia; and from thence they sailed to Cyprus.

Se konsa Sentespri te voye Banabas ak Sòl an misyon. Y' al nan peyi Selesi. Antan yo la, yo pran yon batiman pou lil Chip.

And when they were at Salamis, they preached the word of God in the synagogues of the Jews: and they had also John to their minister.

Lè yo rive Salamin yo tanmen anonse pawòl Bondye a nan sinagòg jwif yo. Yo te gen Jan Mak avèk yo pou ede yo.

And when they had gone through the isle unto Paphos, they found a certain sorcerer, a false prophet, a Jew, whose name was Bar-jesus:

Yo travèse tout lil la nèt jouk Pafòs. Rive la, yo jwenn yon majisyen ki te rele Bajezi. Se te yon jwif ki te pran pòz pwofèt li.

Which was with the deputy of the country, Sergius Paulus, a prudent man; who called for Barnabas and Saul, and desired to hear the word of God.

Li te bon zanmi ak Sèjiyis Polis, chèf lil la. Sèjiyis Polis la te yon nonm lespri. Li fè rele Banabas ak Sòl paske li te vle tande pawòl Bondye a.

But Elymas the sorcerer (for so is his name by interpretation) withstood them, seeking to turn away the deputy from the faith.

Men, Elimas (se te non majisyen an nan lang grèk) t'ap kenbe tèt ak yo. Li t'ap chache detounen gouvènè a pou l' pa t' kwè.

Then Saul, (who also is called Paul,) filled with the Holy Ghost, set his eyes on him,

Men, Sòl (yo te rele Pòl tou), anba pouvwa Sentespri, fikse je l' sou majisyen an,

And said, O full of all subtilty and all mischief, thou child of the devil, thou enemy of all righteousness, wilt thou not cease to pervert the right ways of the Lord?

li di li: Ou menm, ou se pitit Satan. Ou plen riz ak mechanste nan kè ou, ou pa vle wè anyen ki bon. Eske ou p'ap sispann vire travay Bondye a lanvè?

And now, behold, the hand of the Lord is upon thee, and thou shalt be blind, not seeing the sun for a season. And immediately there fell on him a mist and a darkness; and he went about seeking some to lead him by the hand.

Koulye a, koute: Bondye pral mete men sou ou: ou pral vin avèg, ou p'ap wè limyè solèy pou kèk tan. Menm lè a, je Elimas vin bouche, li wè tou nwa. Li t'ap vire adwat agoch, li t'ap chache yon moun pou pran men l' pou kondi li.

Then the deputy, when he saw what was done, believed, being astonished at the doctrine of the Lord.

Lè gouvènè a wè sak te rive a, li kwè. Sa te frape l' anpil lè l' tande tou sa yo t'ap moutre li sou Seyè a.

Now when Paul and his company loosed from Paphos, they came to Perga in Pamphylia: and John departing from them returned to Jerusalem.

Pòl ak kanmarad li yo pran batiman nan lavil Pafòs, y' al lavil Pèj nan peyi Panfili. Antan yo la, Jan Mak kite yo, li tounen Jerizalèm.

But when they departed from Perga, they came to Antioch in Pisidia, and went into the synagogue on the sabbath day, and sat down.

Yo kite Pèj, yo pousib wout yo jouk yo rive lavil Antiòch nan peyi Pisidi. Jou repo a, yo antre nan sinagòg la, yo chita.

And after the reading of the law and the prophets the rulers of the synagogue sent unto them, saying, Ye men and brethren, if ye have any word of exhortation for the people, say on.

Apre moun yo te fin li nan liv lalwa a ak nan liv pwofèt yo, chèf sinagòg la voye di yo: Frè m' yo, si nou gen kèk pawòl pou ankouraje asanble a, nou mèt pale koulye a.

Then Paul stood up, and beckoning with his hand said, Men of Israel, and ye that fear God, give audience.

Pòl leve kanpe, li fè yon siy ak men l', epi li di: Nou menm moun ras Izrayèl, ak nou menm moun lòt nasyon ki gen krentif pou Bondye, koute mwen.

The God of this people of Israel chose our fathers, and exalted the people when they dwelt as strangers in the land of Egypt, and with an high arm brought he them out of it.

Bondye pèp Izrayèl la te chwazi zansèt nou yo. Antan yo t'ap viv tankou etranje nan peyi Lejip, li fè pèp la vin yon kantite. Apre sa, ak fòs ponyèt li, li fè yo soti kite peyi a.

And about the time of forty years suffered he their manners in the wilderness.

Pandan karantan, li pran pasyans ak yo nan dezè a.

And when he had destroyed seven nations in the land of Chanaan, he divided their land to them by lot.

Li detwi sèt nasyon nan peyi Kanaran, li pran tout tè yo, li bay pèp li a pou pwopryete pa yo,

And after that he gave unto them judges about the space of four hundred and fifty years, until Samuel the prophet.

pou katsansenkant (450) lanne. Apre sa, li mete jij pou kòmande yo jouk pou rive nan tan pwofèt Samyèl.

And afterward they desired a king: and God gave unto them Saul the son of Cis, a man of the tribe of Benjamin, by the space of forty years.

Lè sa a, yo mande pou yon wa. Bondye ba yo Sayil, pitit gason Kis la, moun branch fanmi Benjamen, pou wa pandan karantan.

And when he had removed him, he raised up unto them David to be their king; to whom also he gave testimony, and said, I have found David the son of Jesse, a man after mine own heart, which shall fulfil all my will.

Lè li wete Sayil, li ba yo David pou wa. Men sa Bondye te di sou David: Mwen jwenn David, pitit gason Izayi a. Se yon nonm ki fè m' plezi. Li va fè tou sa m' vle l' fè.

Of this man's seed hath God according to his promise raised unto Israel a Saviour, Jesus:

Se Jezi, yonn nan pitit pitit David yo, Bondye mete pou delivre pèp Izrayèl la, jan l' te pwomèt la.

When John had first preached before his coming the baptism of repentance to all the people of Israel.

Men, anvan Jezi te vini, Jan t'ap mache bay mesaj sa a, li t'ap rele tout pèp Izrayèl la pou yo te tounen vin jwenn Bondye, pou yo te resevwa batèm.

And as John fulfilled his course, he said, Whom think ye that I am? I am not he. But, behold, there cometh one after me, whose shoes of his feet I am not worthy to loose.

Lè Jan te prèt pou fini ak misyon l' lan, li di pèp la: Ki moun nou kwè mwen ye? Moun n'ap tann lan, se pa mwen. Men, koute, moun sa a ap vini apre mwen. Mwen menm, mwen pa bon ase pou m' ta demare kòd sapat ki nan pye li.

Men and brethren, children of the stock of Abraham, and whosoever among you feareth God, to you is the word of this salvation sent.

Frè m' yo, nou menm moun ras Abraram lan ak nou menm moun lòt nasyon isit la ki gen krentif pou Bondye, Bondye voye di nou li vin delivre nou.

For they that dwell at Jerusalem, and their rulers, because they knew him not, nor yet the voices of the prophets which are read every sabbath day, they have fulfilled them in condemning him.

Paske, moun lavil Jerizalèm ansanm ak chèf yo pa t' konnen ki moun Jezi te ye. Yo pa t' konprann sans pawòl pwofèt yo, pawòl ki li nan zòrèy yo chak jou repo. Men, se yo menm ankò ki fè tout pawòl sa yo rive vre lè yo te kondannen Jezi.

And though they found no cause of death in him, yet desired they Pilate that he should be slain.

Atout yo pa t' jwenn anyen nan sa Jezi te fè ki pou ta fè l' merite lanmò, yo te mande Pilat fè touye li.

And when they had fulfilled all that was written of him, they took him down from the tree, and laid him in a sepulchre.

Lè yo fin fè tout bagay ki te ekri sou li nan liv yo rive vre, yo desann li sou kwa a, yo mete l' nan yon kavo.

But God raised him from the dead:

Men, Bondye fè l' leve soti vivan nan lanmò.

And he was seen many days of them which came up with him from Galilee to Jerusalem, who are his witnesses unto the people.

Apre sa, pandan plizyè jou, moun ki te moute Jerizalèm soti peyi Galile ansanm avèk li yo, yo te wè l' ak je yo. Se yo menm k'ap sèvi l' temwen koulye a devan pèp Izrayèl la.

And we declare unto you glad tidings, how that the promise which was made unto the fathers,

Nou menm, nou vin fè nou konnen bon nouvèl sa a isit la. Bagay Bondye te pwomèt zansèt nou yo,

God hath fulfilled the same unto us their children, in that he hath raised up Jesus again; as it is also written in the second psalm, Thou art my Son, this day have I begotten thee.

li fè l' pou nou ki pitit pitit yo: li fè Jezi leve soti vivan nan lanmò, dapre sa ki ekri nan Sòm de a: Ou se pitit mwen. Depi jòdi a se mwen ki papa ou.

And as concerning that he raised him up from the dead, now no more to return to corruption, he said on this wise, I will give you the sure mercies of David.

Bondye te fè konnen li t'ap fè l' soti vivan nan lanmò pou l' pa t' janm tounen pouriti ankò. Se sa l' te fè konnen, lè l' te di: M'a ba ou tout benediksyon mwen te pwomèt David yo, ou mèt konte sou yo.

Wherefore he saith also in another psalm, Thou shalt not suffer thine Holy One to see corruption.

Se poutèt sa, yon lòt kote li di konsa: Ou pa penmèt moun k'ap sèvi ou la pouri anba tè.

For David, after he had served his own generation by the will of God, fell on sleep, and was laid unto his fathers, and saw corruption:

Men, apre David te fin sèvi plan Bondye nan mitan moun ki t'ap viv menm lè avè l' yo, li mouri. Yo antere l' menm kote ak zansèt li yo, epi li pouri anba tè.

But he, whom God raised again, saw no corruption.

Men, moun Bondye te leve soti vivan nan lanmò a, li pa janm pouri anba tè.

Be it known unto you therefore, men and brethren, that through this man is preached unto you the forgiveness of sins:

-(we vèsè pwochen)

And by him all that believe are justified from all things, from which ye could not be justified by the law of Moses.

Frè m' yo, nou fèt pou nou konn sa byen: Bondye voye Jezi fè nou konnen l'ap padonnen tout peche nou yo: tout moun ki mete konfyans yo nan Jezi, y'ap delivre anba tout peche lalwa Moyiz pa t' ka wete pou yo.

Beware therefore, lest that come upon you, which is spoken of in the prophets;

Atansyon pou bagay pwofèt yo te di a pa rive nou:

Behold, ye despisers, and wonder, and perish: for I work a work in your days, a work which ye shall in no wise believe, though a man declare it unto you.

Gade non, nou menm k'ap meprize moun, sezisman pral touye nou. Paske mwen pral fè yon travay koulye a nan mitan nou, bagay nou pa ta kwè, menm si moun ta rakonte nou li.

And when the Jews were gone out of the synagogue, the Gentiles besought that these words might be preached to them the next sabbath.

Antan Banabas ak Pòl t'ap soti nan sinagòg la, moun yo mande yo pou yo tounen jou repo k'ap vini an pou pale sou tout bagay sa yo ankò.

Now when the congregation was broken up, many of the Jews and religious proselytes followed Paul and Barnabas: who, speaking to them, persuaded them to continue in the grace of God.

Apre reyinyon an, anpil jwif ak anpil moun lòt nasyon ki te konvèti nan relijyon jwif yo te swiv Pòl ak Banabas. Apòt yo menm te pale ak yo, yo te ankouraje yo pou yo rete fèm nan favè Bondye.

And the next sabbath day came almost the whole city together to hear the word of God.

Jou repo ki vin apre a, prèske tout moun nan lavil la te sanble pou tande pawòl Seyè a.

But when the Jews saw the multitudes, they were filled with envy, and spake against those things which were spoken by Paul, contradicting and blaspheming.

Lè jwif yo wè foul moun yo, yo pran fè jalouzi: yo t'ap demanti tou sa Pòl t'ap di a, yo t'ap joure li.

Then Paul and Barnabas waxed bold, and said, It was necessary that the word of God should first have been spoken to you: but seeing ye put it from you, and judge yourselves unworthy of everlasting life, lo, we turn to the Gentiles.

Men, Pòl ak Banabas di yo kareman: Se nou menm premye moun ki pou te resevwa Pawòl Bondye a. Men, n'ap repouse l', nou pa konsidere tèt nou bon ase pou n' antre nan lavi ki p'ap janm fini an. Enben, koulye a nou pral vire bò kote moun lòt nasyon yo.

For so hath the Lord commanded us, saying, I have set thee to be a light of the Gentiles, that thou shouldest be for salvation unto the ends of the earth.

Men lòd Bondye te ban nou: Mwen mete ou pou sèvi yon limyè pou lòt nasyon yo, pou ou kapab ale toupatou sou latè, moutre ki jan tout moun ka jwenn delivrans.

And when the Gentiles heard this, they were glad, and glorified the word of the Lord: and as many as were ordained to eternal life believed.

Lè moun lòt nasyon yo tande sa, yo pa t' manke kontan: yo pran fè lwanj pawòl Bondye a. Tout moun Bondye te chwazi davans pou resevwa lavi ki p'ap janm fini an te kwè.

And the word of the Lord was published throughout all the region.

Pawòl Bondye a t'ap gaye toupatou nan peyi a.

But the Jews stirred up the devout and honourable women, and the chief men of the city, and raised persecution against Paul and Barnabas, and expelled them out of their coasts.

Men, jwif yo moute tèt medam lasosyete ki te konvèti nan relijyon jwif yo, ansanm ak grannèg lavil yo. Yo tout yo pran pèsekite Pòl ak Banabas: yo mete yo deyò nan peyi a.

But they shook off the dust of their feet against them, and came unto Iconium.

Pòl ak Banabas souke pousyè pye yo sou yo, y' ale lavil Ikoniòm.

And the disciples were filled with joy, and with the Holy Ghost.

Nan Antiòch menm, disip yo te kontan anpil, Sentespri te plen kè yo.
