Acts 21
1 When we had departed from them and had set sail, we came with a straight course to Cos, and the next day to Rhodes, and from there to Patara.
Lè nou te rive nou te kite yo pou pran bato a vwal. Nou te kouri toudwat pou Cos, jou apre a pou Rhodes, epi soti la a pou Patara.
2 Having found a ship crossing over to Phoenicia, we went aboard and set sail.
Lè nou te twouve yon bato ki t ap travèse vè Phénicie, nou te monte e pran vwal.
3 When we had come in sight of Cyprus, leaving it on the left hand, we sailed to Syria and landed at Tyre, for the ship was there to unload her cargo.
Lè nou te vin wè Chip, kite l agoch, e te kontinye kouri bato pou Syrie, e te rive nan Tyr, paske se la bato a te gen pou debake chaj li.
4 Having found disciples, we stayed there seven days. These said to Paul through the Spirit that he should not go up to Jerusalem.
Apre nou fin twouve disip yo, nou te rete la pandan sèt jou. Yo menm te kontinye ap di Paul selon Lespri a pou l pa mete pye l Jérusalem.
5 When those days were over, we departed and went on our journey. They all, with wives and children, brought us on our way until we were out of the city. Kneeling down on the beach, we prayed.
Lè l rive ke jou nou yo pou rete la te fini, nou te pati fè wout nou, pandan yo menm avèk madanm ak timoun yo te akonpanye nou jiskaske nou te kite vil la. Apre nou te mete nou ajenou bòdmè a pou fè lapriyè, nou te di orevwa a youn lòt.
6 After saying goodbye to each other, we went on board the ship, and they returned home again.
Answit, nou te monte bato a, e yo te retounenlakay yo ankò.
7 When we had finished the voyage from Tyre, we arrived at Ptolemais. We greeted the brothers and stayed with them one day.
Lè nou te fin fè vwayaj la sòti Tyr, nou te rive Ptolémaïs. Lè nou te fin salye frè yo, nou te rete avèk yo pandan yon jou.
8 On the next day, we who were Paul’s companions departed and came to Caesarea. We entered into the house of Philip the evangelist, who was one of the seven, and stayed with him.
Nan jou apre a nou te sòti e te rive Césarée. Nou te antre lakay Philippe, evanjelis la, ki te youn nan sèt yo. Nou te rete avèk li.
9 Now this man had four virgin daughters who prophesied.
Alò, nonm sa te gen kat fi vyèj ki te pwofetès.
10 As we stayed there some days, a certain prophet named Agabus came down from Judea.
Pandan nou te rete la pandan kèk jou, yon sèten pwofèt ki te nome Agabus te desann sòti Judée.
11 Coming to us and taking Paul’s belt, he bound his own feet and hands, and said, “The Holy Spirit says: ‘So the Jews at Jerusalem will bind the man who owns this belt, and will deliver him into the hands of the Gentiles.’”
Epi lè l te vini kote nou, li te pran sentiwon a Paul; li te mare pwòp pye l ak men l, e te di: “Men sa ke Lespri Sen an di: Se konsa ke Jwif nan Jérusalem yo va mare nonm ki mete sentiwon sila a e va livre li nan men pèp etranje yo.”
12 When we heard these things, both we and the people of that place begged him not to go up to Jerusalem.
Lè nou te tande sa, nou menm, menm jan avèk rezidan lokal yo, nou te kòmanse mande l pou pa monte Jérusalem.
13 Then Paul answered, “What are you doing, weeping and breaking my heart? For I am ready not only to be bound, but also to die at Jerusalem for the name of the Lord Jesus.”
Paul te reponn yo: “Kisa nou ap fè la a, n ap kriye pou kase kè m? Paske mwen prepare non sèlman pou m mare, men menm pou m ta mouri Jérusalem pou non Senyè Jésus a.”
14 When he would not be persuaded, we ceased, saying, “The Lord’s will be done.”
Epi Akoz ke li pa t kab konvenk, nou te tonbe an silans e t ap di: “Ke volonte a Senyè a fèt!”
15 After these days we took up our baggage and went up to Jerusalem.
Apre jou sa yo, nou te prepare pou kòmanse fè wout nou pou monte Jérusalem.
16 Some of the disciples from Caesarea also went with us, bringing one Mnason of Cyprus, an early disciple, with whom we would stay.
Anplis, Kèk nan disip Césarée yo te vini avèk nou, e te mennen nou kote Mnanson ki sòti Chypre, yon disip depi anpil tan avèk sila nou te vin rete.
17 When we had come to Jerusalem, the brothers received us gladly.
Apre nou te rive Jérusalem frè fidèl yo te resevwa nou avèk kè kontan.
18 The day following, Paul went in with us to James; and all the elders were present.
Jou swivan an Paul te antre avèk nou vè Jacques, epi tout ansyen yo te la.
19 When he had greeted them, he reported one by one the things which God had worked among the Gentiles through his ministry.
Apre li te salye yo, li te kòmanse pale youn pa youn, tout bagay ke Bondye te fè pami pèp etranje yo atravè ministè pa li a.
20 They, when they heard it, glorified God. They said to him, “You see, brother, how many thousands there are among the Jews of those who have believed, and they are all zealous for the law.
Lè yo te tande sa yo te kòmanse bay glwa a Bondye. Yo te di li: “Ou wè, frè, konbyen milye ki gen pami Jwif yo nan sila ki te kwè yo, e yo tout te ranpli ak zèl pou Lalwa a.
21 They have been informed about you, that you teach all the Jews who are among the Gentiles to forsake Moses, telling them not to circumcise their children and not to walk after the customs.
Konsa, yo konn tande de ou, ke w ap enstwi tout Jwif k ap viv pami pèp etranje yo pou renonse a Moïse, e k ap pale yo pou yo pa sikonsi pitit yo, ni pou yo pa mache selon koutim nou yo.
22 What then? The assembly must certainly meet, for they will hear that you have come.
Alò, kisa ki dwe fèt? Sètènman yo va tande ke ou gen tan vini.
23 Therefore do what we tell you. We have four men who have taken a vow.
“Alò, fè sa ke nou di ou a. Nou gen kat mesye ki anba yon ve.
24 Take them and purify yourself with them, and pay their expenses for them, that they may shave their heads. Then all will know that there is no truth in the things that they have been informed about you, but that you yourself also walk keeping the law.
Pran yo avèk ou, pirifye ou menm ansanm avèk yo, e peye depans pou yo kapab taye tèt yo. Konsa, tout moun va konnen ke pa gen anyen nan tout sa ke moun di de ou yo, men ke ou menm osi mache nan lòd, epi swiv Lalwa a.
25 But concerning the Gentiles who believe, we have written our decision that they should observe no such thing, except that they should keep themselves from food offered to idols, from blood, from strangled things, and from sexual immorality.”
“Men konsènan pèp etranje, ki te kwè yo, nou te ekri selon desizyon nou, ke yo ta dwe evite vyann ki ofri kon sakrifis a zidòl, ak san, ak sa ki toufe, e ak imoralite seksyèl.”
26 Then Paul took the men, and the next day purified himself and went with them into the temple, declaring the fulfillment of the days of purification, until the offering was offered for every one of them.
Alò Paul te pran mesye yo avè l nan jou swivan an. Li te pirifye li menm ansanm avèk yo. Yo te antre nan tanp lan e te bay avètisman ke yo t ap konplete jou pirifikasyon yo jiskaske sakrifis la te ofri pou yo chak.
27 When the seven days were almost completed, the Jews from Asia, when they saw him in the temple, stirred up all the multitude and laid hands on him,
Lè sèt jou yo te prèske fini Jwif Asie yo, lè yo te wè l nan tanp lan, te kòmanse soulve foul la pou mete men sou li.
28 crying out, “Men of Israel, help! This is the man who teaches all men everywhere against the people, and the law, and this place. Moreover, he also brought Greeks into the temple and has defiled this holy place!”
Yo t ap kriye fò: “Mesye Israël yo, vin bay nou konkou! Sa se mesye ki preche a tout moun kont pèp nou an ak Lalwa a, ak kote sila a. Anplis de sa, li gen tan fè Grèk yo antre nan tanp lan, e te souye lye sen sa a.”
29 For they had seen Trophimus the Ephesian, with him in the city, and they supposed that Paul had brought him into the temple.
Paske avan yo te konn wè Trophime, Efezyen an nan vil la avèk li, e yo te sipoze ke Paul te mennen l nan tanp lan.
30 All the city was moved and the people ran together. They seized Paul and dragged him out of the temple. Immediately the doors were shut.
Alò tout vil la te leve, e pèp la te kouri ansanm pou te kenbe Paul. Yo te rale l deyò tanp lan, epi nan menm moman an, pòt yo te vin fèmen.
31 As they were trying to kill him, news came up to the commanding officer of the regiment that all Jerusalem was in an uproar.
Pandan yo t ap chache pou touye l, yon rapò te rive devan kòmandan Kowòt Women an, ke tout Jérusalem te boulvèse.
32 Immediately he took soldiers and centurions and ran down to them. They, when they saw the chief captain and the soldiers, stopped beating Paul.
Lapoula li te pran sòlda yo avèk santenye yo, e te kouri desann kote yo. Lè yo te wè sòlda yo avèk kòmandan an, yo te sispann bat Paul.
33 Then the commanding officer came near, arrested him, commanded him to be bound with two chains, and inquired who he was and what he had done.
Kòmandan an te parèt, e te kenbe li. Li te kòmande pou li mare avèk de chenn, e li te kòmanse mande l ki moun li te ye, ak kisa li fè.
34 Some shouted one thing and some another, among the crowd. When he couldn’t find out the truth because of the noise, he commanded him to be brought into the barracks.
Men pami foul la kèk t ap rele yon bagay, e kèk yon lòt bagay. Lè l pa t kapab twouve laverite ki koze tout boulvèsman an, li te mande yo mennen l nan kazèn nan.
35 When he came to the stairs, he was carried by the soldiers because of the violence of the crowd;
Lè l te rive nan eskalye a, sòlda yo te pote li akoz vyolans a foul la;
36 for the multitude of the people followed after, crying out, “Away with him!”
paske yon gran foul moun te kontinye ap swiv yo, e t ap rele: “Touye li!”
37 As Paul was about to be brought into the barracks, he asked the commanding officer, “May I speak to you?” He said, “Do you know Greek?
Pandan Paul te prèt pou antre nan kazèn nan, li te mande kòmandan an: “Èske m kapab di ou yon bagay?” E li te reponn: “Ou konn pale Grèk?
38 Aren’t you then the Egyptian who before these days stirred up to sedition and led out into the wilderness the four thousand men of the Assassins?”
Alò se pa ou menm Ejipsyen an ki kèk tan pase te soulve yon revòlt, e te mennen kat mil òm asasen pou rive nan dezè a?”
39 But Paul said, “I am a Jew from Tarsus in Cilicia, a citizen of no insignificant city. I beg you, allow me to speak to the people.”
Men Paul te di: “Mwen se yon Jwif ki sòti Tarse nan Cilicie, yon sitwayen a yon vil ase enpòtan. Mwen mande w, kite m pale avèk pèp la.”
40 When he had given him permission, Paul, standing on the stairs, beckoned with his hand to the people. When there was a great silence, he spoke to them in the Hebrew language, saying,
Lè l te bay permisyon, Paul, te vin kanpe sou eskalye a. Li te fè sinyal a foul la avèk men l. Lè te vin gen yon gwo silans, li te pale avèk yo nan lang Ebre, e te di,
