Acts 15
1 Some men came down from Judea and taught the brothers, “Unless you are circumcised after the custom of Moses, you can’t be saved.”
Kèk mesye soti nan peyi Jide rive lavil Antiòch. Yo t'ap moutre frè yo yon bann bagay, yo t'ap di: Bondye p'ap kapab delivre nou si yo pa sikonsi nou, jan lalwa Moyiz mande l' la.
2 Therefore when Paul and Barnabas had no small discord and discussion with them, they appointed Paul, Barnabas, and some others of them to go up to Jerusalem to the apostles and elders about this question.
Pòl ak Banabas pa t' dakò menm ak moun sa yo. Sa te fè yon gwo diskisyon. Se konsa, frè yo deside voye Pòl, Banabas ansanm ak kèk lòt moun Antiòch moute Jerizalèm pou regle keksyon sa a ak apòt yo ansanm ak chèf fanmi yo.
3 They, being sent on their way by the assembly, passed through both Phoenicia and Samaria, declaring the conversion of the Gentiles. They caused great joy to all the brothers.
Se legliz la ki te voye yo fè vwayaj sa a. Yo pase nan Finisi ak nan Samari. Sou tout wout la, yo t'ap rakonte ki jan moun ki pa jwif yo te tounen vin jwenn Bondye. Tout frè yo te kontan anpil lè yo tande sa.
4 When they had come to Jerusalem, they were received by the assembly and the apostles and the elders, and they reported everything that God had done with them.
Lè yo rive Jerizalèm, tout legliz la, apòt yo ak chèf fanmi yo te byen resevwa yo. Pòl ak Banabas rakonte moun Jerizalèm yo tou sa Bondye te ba yo pouvwa fè pou li.
5 But some of the sect of the Pharisees who believed rose up, saying, “It is necessary to circumcise them, and to command them to keep the law of Moses.”
Se lè sa a kèk disip, ansyen patizan farizyen yo, kanpe, yo di: Se pou n' sikonsi moun lòt nasyon yo tou. Se pou n' mande yo pou yo obeyi lalwa Moyiz la tou.
6 The apostles and the elders were gathered together to see about this matter.
Apòt yo ak chèf fanmi yo sanble pou egzaminen keksyon an.
7 When there had been much discussion, Peter rose up and said to them, “Brothers, you know that a good while ago God made a choice among you that by my mouth the nations should hear the word of the Good News and believe.
Lè yo fin diskite kont yo, Pyè kanpe, li di yo: Frè m' yo, nou konnen ki jan, depi lontan, Bondye te chwazi m' nan nou tout pou m' anonse bon nouvèl la bay moun lòt nasyon yo, pou yo menm tou, yo ka tande l' pou yo rive kwè nan Bondye.
8 God, who knows the heart, testified about them, giving them the Holy Spirit, just like he did to us.
Enben, Bondye ki konnen sa ki nan kè moun, li moutre nou ki jan li menm li asepte yo: li ba yo Sentespri menm jan li te fè l' pou nou an.
9 He made no distinction between us and them, cleansing their hearts by faith.
Li pa t' fè okenn diferans ant yo menm ak nou menm: nou wè li lave kè yo paske yo te kwè nan li.
10 Now therefore why do you tempt God, that you should put a yoke on the neck of the disciples which neither our fathers nor we were able to bear?
Koulye a, poukisa pou n'ap seye fè plan ak Bondye konsa, lè nou vle fè disip yo pote yon chay ni zansèt nou ni nou menm nou pa t' ka pote?
11 But we believe that we are saved through the grace of the Lord Jesus, just as they are.”
Okontrè, nou kwè se yon favè Jezikri fè nou lè l' delivre nou, menm jan li fè l' pou yo tou.
12 All the multitude kept silence, and they listened to Barnabas and Paul reporting what signs and wonders God had done among the nations through them.
Apre sa, tout moun pe bouch yo, yo t'ap koute Banabas ak Pòl ki t'ap rakonte tout bèl bagay ak tout mirak Bondye te ba yo pouvwa fè pou li nan mitan moun lòt nasyon yo.
13 After they were silent, James answered, “Brothers, listen to me.
Lè yo fin pale, Jak pran lapawòl, li di: Frè m' yo, koute mwen.
14 Simeon has reported how God first visited the nations to take out of them a people for his name.
Simon fèk esplike nou ki jan, depi nan konmansman, Bondye te pran swen moun lòt nasyon yo pou l' te ka chwazi nan mitan yo yon pèp ki pou pote non li.
15 This agrees with the words of the prophets. As it is written,
Sou pwen sa a, pawòl pwofèt yo dakò nèt. Men sa ki ekri nan Liv la:
16 ‘After these things I will return. I will again build the tabernacle of David, which has fallen. I will again build its ruins. I will set it up
Apre sa, m'a retounen. Se Bondye k'ap pale. M'a rebati kay David la ki te fin tonbe, m'a repare mazi li yo, m'a kanpe kay li a ankò.
17 that the rest of men may seek after the Lord: all the Gentiles who are called by my name, says the Lord, who does all these things.’
Konsa, tout lòt moun yo va chache Bondye, ansanm ak tout nasyon mwen chwazi pou pote non mwen.
Men sa Bondye di. Se li menm ki fè nou konnen bagay sa yo depi lontan. (aiōn g165)
19 Therefore my judgment is that we don’t trouble those from among the Gentiles who turn to God,
Se poutèt sa, mwen menm, Jak, mwen kwè nou pa dwe antrave moun lòt nasyon yo ki vin jwenn Bondye.
20 but that we write to them that they abstain from the pollution of idols, from sexual immorality, from what is strangled, and from blood.
Men, ann ekri yo, ann mande yo pou yo pa manje vyann bèt yo te ofri pou touye pou zidòl, pou yo egzante tout dezòd lachè, pou yo pa manje ni vyann bèt ki mouri toufe, ni san.
21 For Moses from generations of old has in every city those who preach him, being read in the synagogues every Sabbath.”
Paske, depi lontan lontan, y'ap fè konnen lalwa Moyiz la nan tout lavil yo. Se chak jou repo y'ap li l' pou yo nan sinagòg yo.
22 Then it seemed good to the apostles and the elders, with the whole assembly, to choose men out of their company, and send them to Antioch with Paul and Barnabas: Judas called Barsabbas, and Silas, chief men among the brothers.
Lè sa a, apòt yo, chèf fanmi yo ansanm ak tout legliz la deside pou yo chwazi kèk moun pami yo ki pou vwayaje al Antiòch ansanm ak Pòl ak Banabas. Yo chwazi Jid, ki te rele Basabas, ak Silas, de moun frè yo te respekte anpil.
23 They wrote these things by their hand: “The apostles, the elders, and the brothers, to the brothers who are of the Gentiles in Antioch, Syria, and Cilicia: greetings.
Yo te ba yo lèt sa a pote ale: Apòt yo ak chèf fanmi yo, ki frè nou, voye bonjou pou tout frè nan moun lòt nasyon yo k'ap viv nan lavil Antiòch, nan peyi Siri ak nan peyi Silisi.
24 Because we have heard that some who went out from us have troubled you with words, unsettling your souls, saying, ‘You must be circumcised and keep the law,’ to whom we gave no commandment;
Nou te vin konnen te gen moun ki soti bò isit la al lakay nou. Yo pa t' manke boulvèse nou, yo pa t' manke fatige nou ak pawòl yo t'ap di. Men, nou menm nou pa t' ba yo okenn lòd konsa.
25 it seemed good to us, having come to one accord, to choose out men and send them to you with our beloved Barnabas and Paul,
Se poutèt sa, nou tout ki isit la, nou tonbe dakò pou nou chwazi kèk delege n'ap voye bò kote nou. Y'ap vwayaje ansanm ak Pòl ak Banabas, de frè nou renmen anpil,
26 men who have risked their lives for the name of our Lord Jesus Christ.
ki te riske lavi yo pou non Jezikri, Seyè nou an.
27 We have sent therefore Judas and Silas, who themselves will also tell you the same things by word of mouth.
Se konsa, nou voye Jid ak Silas ki va ban nou menm mesaj la ak pwòp bouch yo.
28 For it seemed good to the Holy Spirit, and to us, to lay no greater burden on you than these necessary things:
Pou Sentespri a ak pou nou menm, men sa nou jwenn ki bon pou di nan keksyon sa a: Nou p'ap mete lòt chay sou zepòl nou pase sa n' dwe mete.
29 that you abstain from things sacrificed to idols, from blood, from things strangled, and from sexual immorality, from which if you keep yourselves, it will be well with you. Farewell.”
Pa manje vyann bèt ki te ofri pou zidòl, pa manje san, pa manje vyann bèt ki mouri toufe, egzante tout dezòd lachè. N'a fè byen si nou pa fè bagay sa yo. Bondye ak nou!
30 So, when they were sent off, they came to Antioch. Having gathered the multitude together, they delivered the letter.
Apre sa, moun legliz Jerizalèm yo kite delege yo ale. Delege yo pati pou Antiòch. Lè yo rive, yo sanble tout moun ki te kwè yo, yo renmèt yo lèt la.
31 When they had read it, they rejoiced over the encouragement.
Lè yo fin li lèt la pou yo, tout moun te kontan pou bèl ankourajman lèt la te pote ba yo.
32 Judas and Silas, also being prophets themselves, encouraged the brothers with many words and strengthened them.
Jid ak Silas te de pwofèt. Yo pale lontan avèk frè yo, yo ba yo kont ankourajman ak fòs.
33 After they had spent some time there, they were dismissed in peace from the brothers to the apostles.
Yo pase kèk tan nan lavil Antiòch. Apre sa, frè yo swate yo bòn vwayaj ak kè poze. Yo menm, yo tounen ale jwenn moun ki te voye yo.
Men, Silas te pran desizyon pou l' te rete.
35 But Paul and Barnabas stayed in Antioch, teaching and preaching the word of the Lord, with many others also.
Pòl ak Banabas pase kèk tan nan Antiòch. Ansanm ak anpil lòt frè, yo t'ap moutre moun yo anpil bagay, yo t'ap fè yo konnen pawòl Seyè a.
36 After some days Paul said to Barnabas, “Let’s return now and visit our brothers in every city in which we proclaimed the word of the Lord, to see how they are doing.”
Kèk tan apre, Pòl di Banabas konsa: Ann al vizite frè yo ki nan tout lavil kote nou te anonse Pawòl Seyè a. Ann al wè ki jan yo ye.
37 Barnabas planned to take John, who was called Mark, with them also.
Banabas te vle mennen Jan ki te gen ti non Mak la avèk yo.
38 But Paul didn’t think that it was a good idea to take with them someone who had withdrawn from them in Pamphylia, and didn’t go with them to do the work.
Men, Pòl pa t' kwè se te yon bon lide pou yo te mennen l', paske, dènye fwa a, li te pati kite yo nan Panfili, li pa t' rete nèt ak yo jouk vwayaj la te fini.
39 Then the contention grew so sharp that they separated from each other. Barnabas took Mark with him and sailed away to Cyprus,
Lè sa a, yon diskisyon byen cho leve ant Pòl ak Banabas, tèlman yo separe yonn ak lòt. Banabas pran Mak avèk li, yo pran yon batiman, y' ale lil Chip.
40 but Paul chose Silas and went out, being commended by the brothers to the grace of God.
Pòl menm chwazi Silas. Apre frè yo fin renmèt li nan men Bondye k'ap ba l' favè l', li pati.
41 He went through Syria and Cilicia, strengthening the assemblies.
Li pase nan peyi Siri ak peyi Silisi; sou tout wout la li t'ap fòtifye legliz yo nan konfyans yo nan Bondye.
