Acts 18

After these things Paul departed from Athens, and came to Corinth;

Apre sa, Pòl pati, li kite lavil Atèn, li ale lavil Korent.

And found a certain Jew named Aquila, born in Pontus, lately come from Italy, with his wife Priscilla; (because that Claudius had commanded all Jews to depart from Rome:) and came unto them.

Rive la, li kontre yon jwif yo te rele Akilas, moun peyi Pon, ki te fèk rive soti Itali ansanm ak madanm li yo te rele Prisil, apre Seza Klòd te bay lòd pou tout jwif te kite lavil Wòm. Pòl al wè yo,

And because he was of the same craft, he abode with them, and wrought: for by their occupation they were tentmakers.

epi l' rete lakay yo. Li t'ap travay ansanm ak yo paske li te gen menm metye ak yo: li te konn fè tant an twal.

And he reasoned in the synagogue every sabbath, and persuaded the Jews and the Greeks.

Chak jou repo, Pòl te pran lapawòl nan sinagòg la, li t'ap chache pran tèt anpil jwif ak anpil moun peyi Lagrès.

And when Silas and Timotheus were come from Macedonia, Paul was pressed in the spirit, and testified to the Jews that Jesus was Christ.

Men, lè Silas ak Timote rive soti Masedwan, Pòl te bay tout tan l' pou travay predikasyon an sèlman: li t'ap bay jwif yo tout kalite prèv pou moutre yo Jezi se Kris yo t'ap tann lan.

And when they opposed themselves, and blasphemed, he shook his raiment, and said unto them, Your blood be upon your own heads; I am clean: from henceforth I will go unto the Gentiles.

Men, jwif yo pran kenbe tèt avèk li, yo t'ap joure l'. Lè l' wè sa, li souke pousyè ki te sou rad li, epi l' di yo: Si nou peri, se nou ki chache sa. Se p'ap fòt mwen. Depi koulye a m'ap vire kò m' bò kot moun ki pa jwif yo.

And he departed thence, and entered into a certain man's house, named Justus, one that worshipped God, whose house joined hard to the synagogue.

Konsa li soti, li ale lakay Titris Jistis. Se te yon nonm ki pa t' jwif men ki te konvèti nan relijyon jwif yo. Kay li te tou kole ak sinagòg la.

And Crispus, the chief ruler of the synagogue, believed on the Lord with all his house; and many of the Corinthians hearing believed, and were baptized.

Krispis, chèf sinagòg la, te mete konfyans li nan Seyè a ansanm ak tout fanmi li. Anpil lòt moun Korent te kwè tou lè yo te tande sa Pòl t'ap di yo, epi yo te resevwa batèm.

Then spake the Lord to Paul in the night by a vision, Be not afraid, but speak, and hold not thy peace:

Yon jou lannwit, Pòl fè yon vizyon. Li wè Seyè a ki di li: Ou pa bezwen pè, se pou ou kontinye pale. Pa fèmen bouch ou.

For I am with thee, and no man shall set on thee to hurt thee: for I have much people in this city.

Mwen la avèk ou. Pesonn p'ap ka mete men sou ou pou fè ou anyen. Gen anpil moun ki pou mwen nan lavil la.

And he continued there a year and six months, teaching the word of God among them.

Konsa, Pòl pase dizwit mwa lavil Korent, li t'ap moutre moun yo pawòl Bondye a.

And when Gallio was the deputy of Achaia, the Jews made insurrection with one accord against Paul, and brought him to the judgment seat,

Pandan Galyon te gouvènè nan peyi Lakayi, jwif yo mete tèt ansanm, yo leve dèyè Pòl. Yo mennen l' devan tribinal la,

Saying, This fellow persuadeth men to worship God contrary to the law.

epi yo di: Nonm sa a ap chache pran tèt moun pou fè yo sèvi Bondye yon jan ki kont lalwa.

And when Paul was now about to open his mouth, Gallio said unto the Jews, If it were a matter of wrong or wicked lewdness, O ye Jews, reason would that I should bear with you:

Pòl tapral pale, lè Galyon di jwif yo konsa: Nou menm jwif, koute: si se te yon krim osinon yon movezak li te fè, mwen ta pèdi tan m' koute nou.

But if it be a question of words and names, and of your law, look ye to it; for I will be no judge of such matters.

Men, si se yon bann diskisyon sou mo, sou non, sou lalwa jwif yo, sa se zafè ki gade nou. Mwen p'ap antre nan bagay konsa pou m' mete rezon.

And he drave them from the judgment seat.

Epi li mete tout moun deyò nan tribinal la.

Then all the Greeks took Sosthenes, the chief ruler of the synagogue, and beat him before the judgment seat. And Gallio cared for none of those things.

Lè sa a, jwif yo mete men sou Sostèn, chèf sinagòg la, yo bat li byen bat devan tribinal la. Men, Galyon pa okipe yo menm.

And Paul after this tarried there yet a good while, and then took his leave of the brethren, and sailed thence into Syria, and with him Priscilla and Aquila; having shorn his head in Cenchrea: for he had a vow.

Pòl rete kèk tan ankò lavil Korent. Apre sa, li kite frè yo, li anbake sou yon batiman pou peyi Siri ansanm ak Prisil ak Akilas. Anvan sa, li fè kale tèt li nan Sankre paske li te fè yon ve.

And he came to Ephesus, and left them there: but he himself entered into the synagogue, and reasoned with the Jews.

Rive yo rive lavil Efèz, Pòl kite Prisil ak Akilas, li al nan sinagòg la, li pran diskite ak jwif yo.

When they desired him to tarry longer time with them, he consented not;

Yo mande l' pou l' rete pi lontan ak yo, men li pa t' vle.

But bade them farewell, saying, I must by all means keep this feast that cometh in Jerusalem: but I will return again unto you, if God will. And he sailed from Ephesus.

Anvan l' kite yo, li di yo: M'a tounen vin wè nou, si Bondye vle. Epi li moute yon batiman, li kite Efèz.

And when he had landed at Cæsarea, and gone up, and saluted the church, he went down to Antioch.

Lè l' debake lavil Sezare, li moute Jerizalèm, li pase di legliz la bonjou. Apre sa, li al Antiòch.

And after he had spent some time there, he departed, and went over all the country of Galatia and Phrygia in order, strengthening all the disciples.

Li pase kèk tan la, epi li pati ankò. Li pase nan tout peyi Galasi ak peyi Friji, li t'ap fòtifye tout disip yo nan konfyans yo nan Bondye.

And a certain Jew named Apollos, born at Alexandria, an eloquent man, and mighty in the scriptures, came to Ephesus.

Yon jwif yo te rele Apolòs rive lavil Efèz. Se te moun lavil Aleksandri. Nonm sa a te konn pale byen, li te konn tou sa ki te ekri nan Liv yo.

This man was instructed in the way of the Lord; and being fervent in the spirit, he spake and taught diligently the things of the Lord, knowing only the baptism of John.

Yo te moutre l' chemen Bondye a. Depi lè sa a, li te cho pou l' te anonse pawòl la. San dezanpare li t'ap moutre moun yo tou sa li te konnen sou Jezi yon jan ki konfòm ak verite a. Men, se batèm Jan an ase li te konnen.

And he began to speak boldly in the synagogue: whom when Aquila and Priscilla had heard, they took him unto them, and expounded unto him the way of God more perfectly.

Li t'ap pale avèk fòs konviksyon nan sinagòg la. Lè Prisil ak Akilas tande l', yo pran l' avèk yo epi yo fin moutre li chemen Bondye a yon jan ki pi korèk.

And when he was disposed to pass into Achaia, the brethren wrote, exhorting the disciples to receive him: who, when he was come, helped them much which had believed through grace:

Apre sa, Apolòs fè lide ale Lakayi. Frè yo te ankouraje li. Yo ekri yon lèt voye bay disip yo ki nan peyi sa a pou yo te byen resevwa Apolòs. Lè li rive Lakayi, li bay moun Bondye te fè favè kwè yo yon gwo konkou.

For he mightily convinced the Jews, and that publickly, shewing by the scriptures that Jesus was Christ.

Se avèk gwo konviksyon devan tout moun li t'ap moutre jwif yo ki jan yo te nan lerè: li pran sa ki ekri nan Liv yo a, li t'ap ba yo prèv se Jezi ki Kris la.
