Acts 10
1 Now there was a certain man in Caesarea, Cornelius by name, a centurion of what was called the Italian Regiment,
Alò, te gen yon sèten nonm nan Césarée ke yo te rele Corneille, yon santenye nan kowòt Italyen an.
2 a devout man, and one who feared God with all his house, who gave gifts for the needy generously to the people, and always prayed to God.
Li te yon mesye fidèl ki te gen lakrent Bondye avèk tout lakay li, ki te bay anpil charite a pèp Jwif la, e li te priye Bondye kontinyèlman.
3 At about the ninth hour of the day, he clearly saw in a vision an angel of God coming to him and saying to him, “Cornelius!”
Anviwon nevyèm è nan jounen an, li te wè byen klè nan yon vizyon, yon zanj Bondye ki te vin kote li e te di l: “Corneille!”
4 He, fastening his eyes on him and being frightened, said, “What is it, Lord?” He said to him, “Your prayers and your gifts to the needy have gone up for a memorial before God.
Ak zye l fikse sou li, e gwo laperèz, e te di: “Kisa li ye, Senyè?” Zanj la te di li: “Priyè ou avèk charite ou kon yon rekèt, gen tan monte devan Bondye.
5 Now send men to Joppa, and get Simon, who is also called Peter.
Koulye a, voye kèk moun Joppé e mande pou yon mesye yo rele Simon, ki rele osi Pierre.
6 He is staying with a tanner named Simon, whose house is by the seaside.
Li rete lakay a yon bòs tanè yo rele Simon ki rete bò lanmè a.”
7 When the angel who spoke to him had departed, Cornelius called two of his household servants and a devout soldier of those who waited on him continually.
Lè zanj ki t ap pale avè l la te ale, li te rele de nan sèvitè li yo, avèk yon sòlda fidèl nan lafwa ki te sèvi li tout tan.
8 Having explained everything to them, he sent them to Joppa.
Lè l te fin eksplike yo tout bagay, li te voye yo Joppé.
9 Now on the next day as they were on their journey and got close to the city, Peter went up on the housetop to pray at about noon.
Nan jou apre a, pandan yo te nan chemen yo, ap pwoche vil la Pierre te ale sou do kay la nan anviwon sizyèm è pou priye.
10 He became hungry and desired to eat, but while they were preparing, he fell into a trance.
Men li te vin grangou, e li te vle manje. Men pandan yo t ap fè preparasyon an, li te tonbe nan yon rèv.
11 He saw heaven opened and a certain container descending to him, like a great sheet let down by four corners on the earth,
Konsa, li te wè syèl la louvri, epi yon bagay tankou yon gwo dra te lonje desann bò kat kwen li yo jiska atè.
12 in which were all kinds of four-footed animals of the earth, wild animals, reptiles, and birds of the sky.
Ladann l te gen tout kalite bèt kat pye ak kreyati ki rale atè ak zwazo syèl yo.
13 A voice came to him, “Rise, Peter, kill and eat!”
Yon vwa te vini sou li: “Leve, Pierre, touye e manje!”
14 But Peter said, “Not so, Lord; for I have never eaten anything that is common or unclean.”
Men Pierre te di: “Sa p ap janm fèt, Senyè, paske Mwen pa janm manje anyen ki pa sen e pwòp.”
15 A voice came to him again the second time, “What God has cleansed, you must not call unclean.”
Ankò yon vwa te vini a li menm, pou dezyèm fwa: “Sa ke Bondye gen tan fè pwòp, pa konsidere l ankò pa sen.”
16 This was done three times, and immediately the thing was received up into heaven.
Sa te rive twa fwa; epi imedyatman, bagay la te vin remonte nan syèl la.
17 Now while Peter was very perplexed in himself what the vision which he had seen might mean, behold, the men who were sent by Cornelius, having made inquiry for Simon’s house, stood before the gate,
Alò, Pierre te byen twouble nan lespri li sou sa vizyon li te wè te siyifi a. Epi konsa mesye ki te voye pa Corneille yo, lè yo te fin mande tout direksyon pou kay Simon, te parèt nan pòtay la.
18 and called and asked whether Simon, who was also called Peter, was lodging there.
Yo te rele anlè, pou mande si Simon, ke yo rele osi Pierre a te rete la.
19 While Peter was pondering the vision, the Spirit said to him, “Behold, three men seek you.
Pandan Pierre t ap reflechi sou vizyon an Lespri a te di l: “Gade, gen twa mesye k ap chache ou.
20 But arise, get down, and go with them, doubting nothing; for I have sent them.”
Alò, leve desann eskalye a pou akonpanye yo san doute anyen. Paske se Mwen menm ki voye yo.”
21 Peter went down to the men, and said, “Behold, I am he whom you seek. Why have you come?”
Pierre te desann vè moun yo. Li te di yo: “Se mwen menm nou ap chache a. Se pou ki rezon nou vini an?”
22 They said, “Cornelius, a centurion, a righteous man and one who fears God, and well spoken of by all the nation of the Jews, was directed by a holy angel to invite you to his house, and to listen to what you say.”
Yo te di: “Corneille, yon sòlda santenye, yon nonm dwat e ki krent Bondye, e ki byen pale pa tout nasyon Jwif la, te dirije pa yon zanj pou voye kote ou pou vini lakay li pou tande yon mesaj de ou menm.”
23 So he called them in and provided a place to stay. On the next day Peter arose and went out with them, and some of the brothers from Joppa accompanied him.
Konsa, li te envite yo antre, e li te bay yo lojman. Nan jou swivan a, li te leve. Li te sòti avèk yo, e kèk nan frè Joppé yo te akonpanye li.
24 On the next day they entered into Caesarea. Cornelius was waiting for them, having called together his relatives and his near friends.
Nan youn jou pi tà, li te antre Césarée. Alò, Corneille t ap tann yo. Li te rele ansanm fanmi ak zanmi ki pwòch li yo.
25 When Peter entered, Cornelius met him, fell down at his feet, and worshiped him.
Lè Pierre te antre, Corneille te rankontre li, e te tonbe nan pye li pou adore li.
26 But Peter raised him up, saying, “Stand up! I myself am also a man.”
Men Pierre te leve l e te di: “Kanpe non, mwen menm se sèlman yon moun.”
27 As he talked with him, he went in and found many gathered together.
Pandan li t ap pale avèk li, li te antre, e te twouve anpil moun deja reyini.
28 He said to them, “You yourselves know how it is an unlawful thing for a man who is a Jew to join himself or come to one of another nation, but God has shown me that I shouldn’t call any man unholy or unclean.
Pierre te di yo: “Nou menm nou konnen kijan sa kont lalwa pou yon nonm ki se yon Jwif vin asosye avèk yon etranje, ni pou vizitè li. Men Bondye te deja montre m ke mwen pa dwe rele pèsòn pa sen oubyen pa pwòp.
29 Therefore I also came without complaint when I was sent for. I ask therefore, why did you send for me?”
Se pou rezon sa ke m te vini menm san okenn objeksyon lè yo te fè mwen vini an. Konsa, mwen mande pou ki sa nou fè mwen vini an?”
30 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
Corneille te di: “Kat jou pase jis nan menm lè sa a, mwen t ap fè jèn e priye lakay mwen nan nevyèm è a; epi vwala yon nonm te kanpe devan mwen avèk vètman ki t ap briye.
31 and said, ‘Cornelius, your prayer is heard, and your gifts to the needy are remembered in the sight of God.
Li te di: ‘Corneille, priyè ou gen tan tande e ofrann ou yo gen tan sonje devan Bondye.
32 Send therefore to Joppa and summon Simon, who is also called Peter. He is staying in the house of a tanner named Simon, by the seaside. When he comes, he will speak to you.’
Pou sa, voye Joppé pou envite Simon, ke yo rele osi Pierre, pou vin kote nou. Li rete lakay Simon, ki se bòs tanè bò lanmè a.’
33 Therefore I sent to you at once, and it was good of you to come. Now therefore we are all here present in the sight of God to hear all things that have been commanded you by God.”
Pou sa, mwen te fè ou vin touswit, e ou tèlman emab, ke ou vini. Alò, koulye a, nou tout isit la, prezan devan Bondye pou tande tout sa ke ou kòmande pa Senyè a.”
34 Peter opened his mouth and said, “Truly I perceive that God doesn’t show favoritism;
Lè l louvri bouch li, Pierre te di: “Vrèman, mwen konprann koulye a, ke Bondye se pa youn ki fè patipri pou pèsòn,
35 but in every nation he who fears him and works righteousness is acceptable to him.
men nan tout nasyon yo, sila a ki gen lakrent Li, e ki fè sa ki bon, byen resevwa devan Li menm.
36 The word which he sent to the children of Israel, preaching good news of peace by Jesus Christ—he is Lord of all—
Pawòl ke Li te voye a fis Israël yo, pou preche lapè atravè Jésus Kri a—Ke Li se Senyè a tout moun.
37 you yourselves know what happened, which was proclaimed throughout all Judea, beginning from Galilee, after the baptism which John preached;
“Nou menm nou konnen bagay ki te pase nan tout Judée a, ki te kòmanse nan Galilée, apre batèm ke Jean te pwoklame a;
38 how God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Spirit and with power, who went about doing good and healing all who were oppressed by the devil, for God was with him.
sou Jésus de Nazareth la, jan Bondye te bay li onksyon avèk Lespri Sen an, e avèk pwisans, Li te ale toupatou e t ap fè byen, jan Li te geri tout moun ki te oprime pa dyab la, paske Bondye te avè L.
39 We are witnesses of everything he did both in the country of the Jews and in Jerusalem; whom they also killed, hanging him on a tree.
“Nou se temwen a tout bagay ke Li te fè nan peyi Jwif yo, ak nan Jérusalem. Anplis yo te mete Li a lanmò lè yo te pann Li sou yon kwa.
40 God raised him up the third day and gave him to be revealed,
Bondye te fè l leve nan twazyèm jou a, e te pèmèt ke Li te vin vizib
41 not to all the people, but to witnesses who were chosen before by God, to us, who ate and drank with him after he rose from the dead.
pa a tout pèp la, men a temwen ki te chwazi oparavan pa Bondye yo; a nou menm ki te manje e bwè avèk Li apre Li te leve soti nan lanmò a.
42 He commanded us to preach to the people and to testify that this is he who is appointed by God as the Judge of the living and the dead.
Konsa, Li te kòmande nou pou preche a pèp la, epi solanèlman, temwaye ke Li se Sila a ki te nome pa Bondye, kòm Jij a vivan e a mò yo.
43 All the prophets testify about him, that through his name everyone who believes in him will receive remission of sins.”
“A Li menm, tout pwofèt yo pote temwayaj, ke selon non Li tout moun ki kwè nan Li resevwa padon pou peche yo.”
44 While Peter was still speaking these words, the Holy Spirit fell on all those who heard the word.
Pandan Pierre te toujou ap pale pawòl sa yo, Lespri Sen an te tonbe sou tout sila yo ki t ap koute mesaj la.
45 They of the circumcision who believed were amazed, as many as came with Peter, because the gift of the Holy Spirit was also poured out on the Gentiles.
Tout kwayan sikonsi ki te vini avèk Pierre yo te etone paske don Lespri Sen an te vèse sou etranje yo tou.
46 For they heard them speaking in other languages and magnifying God. Then Peter answered,
Paske yo te tande yo pale an lang, e egzalte Bondye. Alò, Pierre te reponn:
47 “Can anyone forbid these people from being baptized with water? They have received the Holy Spirit just like us.”
“Èske pèsòn kapab refize dlo pou sa yo ta kapab batize, sila ki te resevwa Lespri Sen an, menm jan ak nou?”
48 He commanded them to be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ. Then they asked him to stay some days.
Epi li te kòmande yo pou batize nan non Jésus Kri. Alò, yo te mande li pou rete la avèk yo pandan kèk jou.
