Travay 2
1 Lè jou Lapannkòt la rive, yo tout te reyini ansanm menm kote a.
In the course of the Festival at the close of the Harvest the disciples had all met together,
2 Yo rete konsa, epi yon sèl bri sot nan syèl la tankou yon gwo van k'ap soufle; li plen tout kay kote yo te chita a.
when suddenly there came from the heavens a noise like a strong wind rushing by; it filled the whole house in which they were sitting.
3 Lè sa a, yo wè yon bann lang parèt tankou ti flanm dife ki separe yonn ak lòt epi ki al poze grenn pa grenn sou tèt yo chak.
Then there appeared tongues of what seemed to be flame, separating, so that one settled on each of them;
4 Yo tout te vin anba pouvwa Sentespri, epi yo pran pale lòt lang dapre jan Lespri Bondye a t'ap fè yo pale.
and they were all filled with the Holy Spirit, and began to speak in different languages as the Spirit prompted their utterances.
5 Lè sa a, te gen yon bann jwif ki t'ap pase kèk jou lavil Jerizalèm. Se te moun devwe pou Bondye ki te soti nan tout peyi sou latè.
Now there were then staying in Jerusalem religious Jews from every country in the world;
6 Lè yo tande bri a, yon kantite ladan yo sanble. Yo tout te sezi anpil paske yo t'ap tande moun yo pale nan lang peyi yo chak.
and, when this sound was heard, numbers of people collected, in the greatest excitement, because each of them heard the disciples speaking in his own language.
7 Yo pa t' manke sezi. Yo t'ap gade, yo t'ap di: Moun sa yo k'ap pale la a, apa moun Galile yo tout ye?
They were utterly amazed, and kept asking in astonishment, ‘What! Are not all these people who are speaking Galileans?
8 Ki jan nou fè tande y'ap pale nan lang peyi nou?
Then how is it that we each of us hear them in our own language?
9 Nan nou la a gen moun Pat, moun Medi ak moun Elam, gen moun Mezopotami, moun Jide, moun Kapadòs, moun Pon ak moun Lazi.
Some of us are Parthians, some Medes, some Elamites; and some of us live in Mesopotamia, in Judea and Cappadocia, in Pontus and Roman Asia,
10 Gen moun Friji, moun Panfili, moun Lejip, moun teritwa Libi ki toupre Sirèn. Genyen ki soti lavil Wòm.
in Phrygia and Pamphylia, in Egypt and the districts of Libya adjoining Cyrene; some of us are visitors from Rome,
11 Nan nou gen jwif, gen moun lòt nasyon ki te konvèti nan relijyon jwif yo, gen moun ki soti Lakrèt, gen moun Arabi tou. Ki jan nou fè tande yo ap pale lang nou, y'ap rakonte bèl bagay Bondye te fè?
either Jews by birth or converts, and some are Cretans and Arabians – yet we all alike hear them speaking in our own languages of the great things that God has done.’
12 Yo tout te sezi, yo pa t' konn sa pou yo te kwè. Yonn t'ap di lòt: Sa sa vle di?
They were all utterly amazed and bewildered. ‘What does it mean?’ they asked one another.
13 Gen lòt moun menm ki t'ap pase yo nan rizib. Yo t'ap di: Moun sa yo sou.
But there were some who said with a sneer, ‘They have had too much new wine.’
14 Lè sa a, Pyè kanpe ansanm ak lòt onz apòt yo, li pale byen fò, li di foul moun yo konsa: Nou menm moun Jide ansanm ak nou tout k'ap pase kèk jou isit lavil Jerizalèm, nou fèt pou nou konnen sa. Koute sa m' pral di nou la a.
Then Peter, surrounded by the eleven other apostles, stood up, and, raising his voice, addressed the crowd. ‘People of Judea,’ he began, ‘and all you who are staying in Jerusalem, let me tell you what this means. Mark well my words.
15 Moun sa yo pa sou jan nou kwè a. Se nevè dimaten li ye sèlman.
These people are not drunk, as you suppose; for it is only now nine in the morning! No!
16 Men, sa pwofèt Joèl te fè konnen gen pou rive a, se sa k'ap pase koulye a:
This is what is spoken of in the prophet Joel –
17 Men sak pral rive nan dènye tan an: Se Bondye menm k'ap pale: M'ap vide Lespri m' sou tout moun sou latè. Pitit gason nou ak pitit fi nou yo va pale tankou pwofèt. Jenn gason nou yo va gen vizyon. Granmoun nou yo va fè rèv.
“It will come about in the last days,” God says, “That I will pour out my Spirit on all humanity; your sons and your daughters will become prophets, your young men will see visions, and your old men dream dreams;
18 Wi, lè sa a, m'ap vide Lespri m' sou tout sèvitè m' yo, fi kou gason, epi y'a bay mesaj ki soti nan Bondye.
yes, even on the slaves – for they are mine – both men and women, I will in those days pour out my Spirit, and they will become prophets;
19 Mwen pral fè mèvèy parèt anwo nan syèl la, mwen pral fè mirak anba sou latè! Va gen san, dife ak gwo nwaj lafimen.
and I will show wonders in the heavens above, and signs on the earth below – blood and fire and mist of smoke;
20 Solèy la pral vin tou nwa. Lalin lan pral vin wouj kou san, anvan jou Mèt la rive. Se va yon gwo jou, yon bèl jou tou!
the sun will become darkness, and the moon blood-red, before the day of the Lord comes – that great and awful day.
21 Lè sa a nenpòt moun ki va rele non Bondye va delivre.
Then will everyone who invokes the name of the Lord be saved.”
22 Nou menm moun laras Izrayèl, koute sa m' pral di nou la a: Jezi, moun Nazarèt la, se Bondye menm ki te voye l' paske nou te wè tout mirak, tout bèl bagay ak tout siy Bondye te ba l' pouvwa fè nan mitan nou. Sa se bagay nou tout konnen.
People of Israel, listen to what I am saying. Jesus of Nazareth, a man whose mission from God to you was proved by miracles, wonders, and signs, which God showed among you through him, as you know full well –
23 Yo te lage nonm sa a nan men nou, jan Bondye te vle l' la, dapre plan li te deja fè nan tèt li. Nou menm, nou fè touye l', nou fè yon bann mechan kloure l' sou yon kwa.
he, I say, in accordance with God’s definite plan and with his previous knowledge, was betrayed, and you, by the hands of lawless men, nailed him to a cross and put him to death.
24 Men, Bondye fè l' leve vivan ankò, li delivre l' anba doulè lanmò a paske se pa t' posib pou lanmò te kenbe l' anba pouvwa li.
But God released him from the pangs of death and raised him to life, it being impossible for death to retain its hold on him.
25 Men sa David te ekri sou li: Mwen te wè Bondye, Mèt la, tout tan devan je mwen. Paske li toujou bò kote m'. Anyen pa ka brannen m'.
Indeed he was the one David was referring to when he said – “I have had the Lord ever before my eyes, for he stands at my right hand, so that I should not be disquieted.
26 Se poutèt sa kè m' kontan anpil, se pawòl kontantman ase ki nan bouch mwen. Menm kò mwen, m'ap poze l' avèk espwa nan Bondye.
Therefore my heart was cheered, and my tongue told its delight; yes, even my body, too, will rest in hope;
27 Paske, ou p'ap kite m' kote mò yo ye a. Ou p'ap pèmèt moun k'ap sèvi ou la pouri anba tè. (Hadēs g86)
For you will not abandon my soul to Hades, nor surrender me, your holy one, to undergo corruption. (Hadēs g86)
28 Ou fè m' konnen tout chemen ki bay lavi a. M'ap kontan nèt paske ou toujou la avèk mwen.
You have shown me the path to life, you will fill me with gladness in your presence.”
29 Frè m' yo, pèmèt mwen pale kareman ak nou. David, zansèt nou an, mouri, yo antere l'. Tonm li la nan mitan nou jouk jòdi a.
Friends, I can speak to you the more confidently about the patriarch David, because he is dead and buried, and his tomb is here among us to this very day.
30 Men, David te yon pwofèt, li te konnen sa Bondye te pwomèt la. Bondye te sèmante li t'ap fè yonn nan pitit li yo wa tankou li.
David, then, prophet as he was, knowing that God had solemnly sworn to him to set one of his descendants on his throne, looked into the future,
31 David te wè sa Bondye tapral fè a. Se konsa li te di Kris la te gen pou l' leve soti vivan nan lanmò lè l' di: Yo p'ap kite l' kote mò yo ye a. Kò li p'ap tounen pouriti. (Hadēs g86)
and referred to the resurrection of the Christ when he said that he had not been abandoned to Hades, nor had his body undergone corruption. (Hadēs g86)
32 Bondye fè Jezi sa a leve soti vivan; nou tout nou temwen bagay sa a.
It was this Jesus, whom God raised to life; and of that we are ourselves all witnesses.
33 Bondye fè l' moute nan syèl la vin sou bò dwat li, li resevwa Sentespri Papa a te pwomèt la, li vide l' sou nou. Enben, se sa n'ap wè, se sa n'ap tande koulye a.
And now that he has been exalted to the right hand of God, and has received from the Father the promised gift of the Holy Spirit, he has begun to pour out that gift, as you yourselves now see and hear.
34 Se pa David ki te moute nan syèl la. Men, li te di: Bondye te di Seyè mwen an: Chita la sou bò dwat mwen,
It was not David who went up into heaven; for he himself says – “The Lord said to my master, ‘Sit on my right hand,
35 jouk tan mwen fè lènmi ou yo tounen yon ti ban pou lonje pye ou.
Until I put your enemies as a footstool under your feet.’”
36 Tout pèp Izrayèl la fèt pou konnen sa byen: Jezi, nonm nou te kloure sou kwa a, se li menm Bondye fè Seyè, se li menm Bondye fè Kris la.
So let the whole nation of Israel know beyond all doubt, that God has made him both Lord and Christ – this Jesus whom you crucified.’
37 Lè pèp la tande pawòl sa yo, yo santi kè yo boulvèse. Yo mande Pyè ansanm ak lòt apòt yo: Frè nou yo, kisa pou nou fè?
When the people heard this, they were conscience-smitten, and said to Peter and the rest of the apostles, ‘Friends, what can we do?’
38 Pyè reponn yo: Tounen vin jwenn Bondye, epi yonn apre lòt vin resevwa batèm nan non Jezikri, pou Bondye padonnen tout peche nou yo. Apre sa, n'a resevwa Sentespri, kado Bondye a.
‘Repent,’ answered Peter, ‘and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins; and then you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.
39 Paske pwomès la, Bondye fè l' pou nou, pou pitit nou yo, pou tout moun ki byen lwen, pou tout moun Bondye, Mèt nou, va rele vin jwenn li.
For the promise is for you and for your children, and also for all those now far away, who may be called by the Lord our God.’
40 Pyè t'ap di yo anpil lòt pawòl ankò pou l' te fè yo kwè, pou l' te ankouraje yo. Li t'ap di yo konsa: Sove tèt nou. Wete kò nou nan mitan moun pèvèti sa yo.
Peter spoke to them for a long time using many other arguments and pleaded with them – ‘Save yourselves from the perverse spirit of this age.’
41 Anpil ladan yo te kwè sa Pyè t'ap di a, yo te resevwa batèm. Jou sa a, te gen twamil (3.000) moun konsa ki te mete tèt yo ansanm ak disip yo.
So those who accepted his teaching were baptized, and about three thousand people joined the disciples on that day alone.
42 Yo pase tout tan yo ap koute sa apòt yo t'ap moutre yo, yo t'ap viv ansanm tankou frè yonn ak lòt, yo reyini pou separe pen an bay tout moun, epi yo t'ap lapriyè.
They devoted themselves to the teaching of the apostles and to the Common life of the church, to the breaking of the bread and to the Prayers.
43 Tout moun te gen krentif devan kantite mirak ak bèl bagay apòt yo t'ap fè.
A deep impression was made on everyone, and many wonders and signs were done at the hands of the apostles.
44 Tout moun ki te kwè yo t'ap viv ansanm yonn ak lòt. Yo te mete tou sa yo te genyen ansanm.
All who became believers in Christ held everything for the common use;
45 Yo vann tè yo ak tout byen yo, yo separe lajan an pami yo tout, dapre nesesite chak moun.
they sold their property and their goods, and shared the proceeds among them all, according to their individual needs.
46 Toulejou, yo tout reyini ansanm nan tanp lan; yo te konn separe pen an bay tout moun nan kay yo, yo te manje ansanm avèk kè kontan san okenn pretansyon.
Every day they devoted themselves to meeting together in the Temple Courts, and to the breaking of bread at their homes, while they partook of their food in simple-hearted gladness, praising God, and winning the goodwill of all the people.
47 Yo t'ap fè lwanj Bondye. Tout moun te renmen yo. Chak jou Bondye t'ap mete lòt moun li t'ap delivre yo nan gwoup la.
And the Lord daily added to their company those who were in the path of salvation.
