Acts 9

And Saul, yet breathing out threatenings and slaughter against the disciples of the Lord, went unto the high priest,

Men Sòl, bò pa li, pa t' sispann menase touye disip Seyè yo. li al jwenn granprèt la.

And desired of him letters to Damascus to the synagogues, that if he found any of this way, whether they were men or women, he might bring them bound unto Jerusalem.

Li mande l' lèt otorizasyon pou tout sinagòg ki nan lavil Damas. Konsa, tout moun li ta jwenn k'ap swiv chemen Bondye a, fanm kou gason, li te ka arete yo, mare yo mennen Jerizalèm.

And as he journeyed, he came near Damascus: and suddenly there shined round about him a light from heaven:

Antan l' te sou wout la, prèt pou rive lavil Damas, li rete konsa yon limyè soti nan syèl la, li klere tout kote l' te ye a.

And he fell to the earth, and heard a voice saying unto him, Saul, Saul, why persecutest thou me?

Sòl tonbe atè, epi l' tande yon vwa ki di li: Sòl, Sòl, poukisa w'ap pèsekite mwen konsa?

And he said, Who art thou, Lord? And the Lord said, I am Jesus whom thou persecutest: it is hard for thee to kick against the pricks.

Li reponn: Ki moun ou ye, Mèt? Vwa a reponn li: Mwen se Jezi, moun w'ap pèsekite a.

And he trembling and astonished said, Lord, what wilt thou have me to do? And the Lord said unto him, Arise, and go into the city, and it shall be told thee what thou must do.

Leve, antre lavil la. Se la y'a di ou sa ou gen pou fè.

And the men which journeyed with him stood speechless, hearing a voice, but seeing no man.

Moun ki t'ap vwayaje ansanm ak Sòl yo te rete san di yon mo: yo te tande vwa a byen klè, men yo pa t' wè pesonn.

And Saul arose from the earth; and when his eyes were opened, he saw no man: but they led him by the hand, and brought him into Damascus.

Sòl leve atè a, li louvri je l' men li pa t' kapab wè anyen. Yo pran men l', yo mennen l' lavil Damas.

And he was three days without sight, and neither did eat nor drink.

Li rete la twa jou san wè, san manje, san bwè.

And there was a certain disciple at Damascus, named Ananias; and to him said the Lord in a vision, Ananias. And he said, Behold, I am here, Lord.

Nan lavil Damas te gen yon disip ki te rele Ananyas. Seyè a parèt devan l' nan yon vizyon, li rele li: Ananyas. Ananyas reponn: Men mwen, Seyè.

And the Lord said unto him, Arise, and go into the street which is called Straight, and enquire in the house of Judas for one called Saul, of Tarsus: for, behold, he prayeth,

Seyè a di li: Leve koulye a, ale nan Ri Dwat la lakay Jida, mande pou yon nonm yo rele Sòl, moun lavil Tas. L'ap lapriyè kote l' ye a,

And hath seen in a vision a man named Ananias coming in, and putting his hand on him, that he might receive his sight.

li fè yon vizyon: li wè yon nonm yo rele Ananyas antre vin mete men sou tèt li pou l' kapab wè ankò.

Then Ananias answered, Lord, I have heard by many of this man, how much evil he hath done to thy saints at Jerusalem:

Ananyas reponn: Seyè, mwen tande nan bouch anpil moun kantite mechanste li fè moun pa ou yo pase lavil Jerizalèm.

And here he hath authority from the chief priests to bind all that call on thy name.

Epitou li vin isit la ak pouvwa pou l' arete dènye moun k'ap rele non ou. Se chèf prèt yo menm ki ba l' pouvwa sa a.

But the Lord said unto him, Go thy way: for he is a chosen vessel unto me, to bear my name before the Gentiles, and kings, and the children of Israel:

Men, Seyè a di li: Ale. Paske nonm sa a, mwen chwazi l' pou sèvis mwen, pou l' fè tout moun konnen non mwen, moun lòt nasyon yo ak tout wa yo ansanm ak pèp Izrayèl la.

For I will shew him how great things he must suffer for my name's sake.

Mwen menm, m'a moutre l' tou sa li gen pou l' soufri pou mwen.

And Ananias went his way, and entered into the house; and putting his hands on him said, Brother Saul, the Lord, even Jesus, that appeared unto thee in the way as thou camest, hath sent me, that thou mightest receive thy sight, and be filled with the Holy Ghost.

Ananyas ale, li antre nan kay la, li mete men l' sou tèt Sòl, li di li: Sòl, frè mwen, Seyè Jezi voye m' kote ou. Se li menm ki te parèt devan ou sou granchemen an lè ou t'ap vini an. Li voye m' pou ou ka wè ankò, pou ou vin anba pouvwa Sentespri.

And immediately there fell from his eyes as it had been scales: and he received sight forthwith, and arose, and was baptized.

Menm lè a, bagay tankou kal pwason sot tonbe nan je Sòl, epi l' wè ankò. Sòl leve, li resevwa batèm.

And when he had received meat, he was strengthened. Then was Saul certain days with the disciples which were at Damascus.

Apre sa, li manje epi l' vin gen fòs ankò. Sòl rete pase kèk jou ankò ak disip ki te Damas yo.

And straightway he preached Christ in the synagogues, that he is the Son of God.

Menm lè a tou, li kòmanse bay mesaj la nan sinagòg yo, li t'ap fè moun konnen Jezi se pitit Bondye.

But all that heard him were amazed, and said; Is not this he that destroyed them which called on this name in Jerusalem, and came hither for that intent, that he might bring them bound unto the chief priests?

Tout moun ki te tande l' te sezi, yo t'ap di: Apa nonm sa a ki t'ap maltrete tout moun ki t'ap rele non sa a lavil Jerizalèm? Se pa li ki vin isit la toutespre pou arete yo, pou mennen yo bay chèf prèt yo?

But Saul increased the more in strength, and confounded the Jews which dwelt at Damascus, proving that this is very Christ.

Men, Sòl t'ap vin pi fò toujou. Li t'ap fèmen bouch tout jwif ki t'ap viv Damas yo lè li t'ap moutre yo Jezi se moun Bondye te chwazi pou l' voye a menm.

And after that many days were fulfilled, the Jews took counsel to kill him:

Kèk jou apre sa, jwif yo fè konplo pou yo touye li.

But their laying await was known of Saul. And they watched the gates day and night to kill him.

Men, Sòl te pran nouvèl konplo a. Lajounen kou lannwit yo t'ap veye pòtay lavil la pou yo touye li.

Then the disciples took him by night, and let him down by the wall in a basket.

Lè sa a, patizan Sòl yo pran l' nan mitan lannwit, yo mete l' nan yon panyen, yo file l' desann lòt bò miray lavil la.

And when Saul was come to Jerusalem, he assayed to join himself to the disciples: but they were all afraid of him, and believed not that he was a disciple.

Lè Sòl rive lavil Jerizalèm li te vle mete l' ak disip yo, men yo tout te pè l': yo pa t' kwè li te yon disip tout bon vre.

But Barnabas took him, and brought him to the apostles, and declared unto them how he had seen the Lord in the way, and that he had spoken to him, and how he had preached boldly at Damascus in the name of Jesus.

Lè sa a, Banabas pran l' avè l', epi li mennen l' bò kot apòt yo. Li rakonte yo ki jan Sòl te wè Seyè a sou wout la, ki jan Seyè a te pale avè li. Li di yo tou ki jan nan lavil Damas Sòl te anonse bon nouvèl la nan non Jezi avèk konviksyon.

And he was with them coming in and going out at Jerusalem.

Depi lè sa a Sòl te toujou ak disip yo. Li t'ap ale vini ak yo nan tout Jerizalèm, li t'ap bay mesaj la avèk konviksyon nan non Seyè a.

And he spake boldly in the name of the Lord Jesus, and disputed against the Grecians: but they went about to slay him.

Li t'ap pale avèk jwif ki pale lang grèk la, li t'ap diskite avèk yo. Men, yo menm yo t'ap chache touye li.

Which when the brethren knew, they brought him down to Cæsarea, and sent him forth to Tarsus.

Lè frè yo vin konn sa, yo mennen l' lavil Sezare, yo fè l' pati pou Tas.

Then had the churches rest throughout all Judæa and Galilee and Samaria, and were edified; and walking in the fear of the Lord, and in the comfort of the Holy Ghost, were multiplied.

Lè sa a, legliz la te gen repo toupatou nan Jide, nan Galile ak nan Samari. Li t'ap devlope, li t'ap viv avèk krentif pou Bondye. Avèk konkou Sentespri, li t'ap resevwa anpil moun toujou.

And it came to pass, as Peter passed throughout all quarters, he came down also to the saints which dwelt at Lydda.

Pyè menm t'ap vwayaje toupatou nan peyi a. Yon jou li te al lakay disip yo nan lavil Lida,

And there he found a certain man named Æneas, which had kept his bed eight years, and was sick of the palsy.

li jwenn yon nonm yo te rele Ine ki te kouche sou yon kabann depi witan. Nonm sa a te paralize.

And Peter said unto him, Æneas, Jesus Christ maketh thee whole: arise, and make thy bed. And he arose immediately.

Pyè di li: Ine, Jezikri ap geri ou. Leve non, ranje kabann ou. Lamenm, Ine leve kanpe.

And all that dwelt at Lydda and Saron saw him, and turned to the Lord.

Tout moun ki t'ap viv nan lavil Lida a ak nan laplenn Sawon an te wè li, epi yo tounen vin jwenn Bondye.

Now there was at Joppa a certain disciple named Tabitha, which by interpretation is called Dorcas: this woman was full of good works and almsdeeds which she did.

Nan lavil Jope te gen yon fanm yo te rele Tabita. (An lang grèk yo te rele l': Dòkas, ki vle di: Ti Gazèl.) Se te yon patizan Jezi li te ye. Li t'ap pase tout tan li ap fè byen epi li t'ap ede pòv yo anpil.

And it came to pass in those days, that she was sick, and died: whom when they had washed, they laid her in an upper chamber.

Lè sa a, li tonbe malad epi l' mouri. Yo benyen kò a, yo mete l' nan chanm anwo kay la.

And forasmuch as Lydda was nigh to Joppa, and the disciples had heard that Peter was there, they sent unto him two men, desiring him that he would not delay to come to them.

Lavil Jope pa t' twò lwen ak lavil Lida. Lè disip ki te Jope yo vin konnen Pyè te Lida, yo voye de moun bò kote l' avèk mesaj sa a: Tanpri, pa mize vin lakay nou.

Then Peter arose and went with them. When he was come, they brought him into the upper chamber: and all the widows stood by him weeping, and shewing the coats and garments which Dorcas made, while she was with them.

Pyè pati lamenm avèk yo. Lè l' rive, yo mennen l' nan chanm ki te anwo kay la. Tout vèv yo pwoche, yo t'ap kriye. Yo t'ap moutre l' chemiz ak rad Dòkas te konn fè lè l' te la avèk yo.

But Peter put them all forth, and kneeled down, and prayed; and turning him to the body said, Tabitha, arise. And she opened her eyes: and when she saw Peter, she sat up.

Pyè fè tout moun soti. Li mete jenou l' atè, li lapriyè. Apre sa, li vire bò kot kò a, li di li: Tabita, leve non. Fanm lan louvri je l', lè l' wè Pyè, li chita.

And he gave her his hand, and lifted her up, and when he had called the saints and widows, presented her alive.

Pyè lonje men l' ba li, li fè l' leve kanpe. Apre sa, Pyè rele disip yo ak vèv yo, li moutre yo Tabita vivan.

And it was known throughout all Joppa; and many believed in the Lord.

Yo vin konn sa nan lavil Jope. Anpil moun mete konfyans yo nan Seyè a.

And it came to pass, that he tarried many days in Joppa with one Simon a tanner.

Apre sa, Pyè rete lontan nan lavil Jope, lakay yon bòs tanè yo rele Simon.
