Travay 4
1 Antan Pyè ak Jan t'ap pale ak pèp la, prèt yo, kòmandan lagad tanp lan ak sadiseyen yo vin rive.
As they spoke to the people, the priests and the captain of the temple and the Sadducees came to them,
2 Yo te fache anpil dèske apòt yo t'ap moutre pèp la anpil bagay, dèske yo t'ap anonse yo moun mouri kapab leve menm jan Jezi te leve soti vivan nan lanmò.
being upset because they taught the people and proclaimed in Jesus the resurrection from the dead.
3 Yo arete yo, yo mete yo nan prizon pou jouk nan denmen paske solèy te fin kouche.
They laid hands on them, and put them in custody until the next day, for it was now evening.
4 Men, anpil moun ki te tande pawòl la te kwè. Lè sa a, te gen senkmil (5.000) moun konsa ki te kwè.
But many of those who heard the word believed, and the number of the men came to be about five thousand.
5 Nan denmen, chèf jwif yo, chèf fanmi yo ak dirèktè lalwa yo sanble nan Jerizalèm.
In the morning, their rulers, elders, and scribes were gathered together in Jerusalem.
6 Ladan yo te gen: An, granprèt la, Kayif, Jan, Aleksann ansanm ak fanmi granprèt la.
Annas the high priest was there, with Caiaphas, John, Alexander, and as many as were relatives of the high priest.
7 Yo fè mennen apòt yo devan yo, epi yo mande yo: Kote n' pran pouvwa pou fè bagay sa a? Ki moun ki ban nou dwa fè sa?
When they had stood Peter and John in the middle of them, they enquired, “By what power, or in what name, have you done this?”
8 Lè sa a, Pyè vin anba pouvwa Sentespri, li di yo: Mesye chèf pèp la ak chèf fanmi yo:
Then Peter, filled with the Holy Spirit, said to them, “You rulers of the people and elders of Israel,
9 Jòdi a y'ap poze nou keksyon sou yon byen nou fè pou yon enfim, y'ap mande nou ki jan nonm sa a fè geri.
if we are examined today concerning a good deed done to a crippled man, by what means this man has been healed,
10 Nou tout ki la a ansanm ak tout pèp Izrayèl la, nou fèt pou nou konn sa: si nonm sa a kanpe devan nou tou gaya, se gremesi Jezikri, moun Nazarèt nou te kloure sou kwa a, men ki leve vivan soti nan lanmò ak pouvwa Bondye.
may it be known to you all, and to all the people of Israel, that in the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, whom you crucified, whom God raised from the dead, this man stands here before you whole in him.
11 Se Jezi menm yo t'ap pale nan pawòl sa a ki ekri nan liv la: Wòch nou te voye jete lè nou t'ap bati a, se li menm ki tounen wòch ki kenbe kay la.
He is ‘the stone which was regarded as worthless by you, the builders, which has become the head of the corner.’
12 Se li menm sèl ki ka bay delivrans paske Bondye pa bay non okenn lòt moun sou latè ki kapab delivre nou.
There is salvation in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven that is given amongst men, by which we must be saved!”
13 Manm Gran Konsèy yo te sezi anpil lè yo wè ki jan Pyè ak Jan te gen konviksyon nan sa yo t'ap di, paske yo te vin konnen mesye sa yo se moun ki soti nan mas pèp la, ki pa t' resevwa okenn enstriksyon. Chèf yo te rekonèt yo tou pou moun ki te toujou avèk Jezi.
Now when they saw the boldness of Peter and John, and had perceived that they were unlearned and ignorant men, they marvelled. They recognised that they had been with Jesus.
14 Men, yo pa t' jwenn anyen pou reponn yo paske nonm ki te geri a te kanpe la devan je yo bò kot Pyè ak Jan.
Seeing the man who was healed standing with them, they could say nothing against it.
15 Yo mande apòt yo pou yo soti nan pyès kote Gran Konsèy la te reyini an, epi yo pran diskite bagay la yonn ak lòt.
But when they had commanded them to go aside out of the council, they conferred amongst themselves,
16 Yo t'ap di konsa: Kisa pou n' fè ak mesye sa yo? Paske, tout moun nan Jerizalèm konnen byen pwòp se yo ki te fè gwo mirak sa a. Nou pa ka di se pa vre.
saying, “What shall we do to these men? Because indeed a notable miracle has been done through them, as can be plainly seen by all who dwell in Jerusalem, and we can’t deny it.
17 Men, pou nouvèl la pa gaye plis nan pèp la, n'ap kraponnen yo, n'ap defann yo pale ak pesonn nan non Jezi.
But so that this spreads no further amongst the people, let’s threaten them, that from now on they don’t speak to anyone in this name.”
18 Apre sa, yo fè rele apòt yo, yo pase yo lòd pou yo pa janm pale ni moutre pèp la anyen nan non Jezi.
They called them, and commanded them not to speak at all nor teach in the name of Jesus.
19 Men, Pyè ak Jan reponn yo: Jije nou menm kisa ki pi bon devan Bondye: Obeyi nou osinon obeyi Bondye?
But Peter and John answered them, “Whether it is right in the sight of God to listen to you rather than to God, judge for yourselves,
20 Pou nou menm, nou pa kapab pa pale sa nou wè ak sa nou tande.
for we can’t help telling the things which we saw and heard.”
21 Manm Gran Konsèy yo fè yo menas ankò. Apre sa, yo lage yo. Yo pa t' kapab fè yo anyen paske tout pèp la t'ap fè lwanj Bondye pou sa ki te rive a.
When they had further threatened them, they let them go, finding no way to punish them, because of the people; for everyone glorified God for that which was done.
22 Nonm ki te geri gremesi mirak apòt yo te fè a te gen karantan pase.
For the man on whom this miracle of healing was performed was more than forty years old.
23 Lage yo lage yo, Pyè ak Jan al jwenn gwoup zanmi yo, yo rakonte yo tou sa chèf prèt yo ak ansyen yo te di.
Being let go, they came to their own company and reported all that the chief priests and the elders had said to them.
24 Lè disip yo tande sa, yo tout mete tèt ansanm pou lapriyè Bondye konsa: O Mèt, se ou menm ki fè syèl la, tè a, lanmè a ak tout sa ki ladan yo.
When they heard it, they lifted up their voice to God with one accord and said, “O Lord, you are God, who made the heaven, the earth, the sea, and all that is in them;
25 Pa pouvwa Sentespri, se ou menm ki te pale nan bouch sèvitè ou, David, zansèt nou, lè l' te di: Poukisa moun lòt nasyon yo t'ap toumante kò yo konsa? Poukisa pèp yo t'ap fè plan ki p'ap sèvi yo anyen konsa?
who by the mouth of your servant David, said, ‘Why do the nations rage, and the peoples plot a vain thing?
26 Wa latè yo pran pozisyon, chèf yo mete tèt yo ansanm sou do Bondye ak sou do Moun li chwazi a!
The kings of the earth take a stand, and the rulers plot together, against the Lord, and against his Christ.’
27 Se sa menm ki rive nan lavil sa a lè Ewòd ak Pons Pilat mete tèt yo ansanm ak moun lòt nasyon yo ak tout moun pèp Izrayèl la sou do Jezi, sèvitè ki t'ap viv pou ou a, moun ou te chwazi a.
“For truly, both Herod and Pontius Pilate, with the Gentiles and the people of Israel, were gathered together against your holy servant Jesus, whom you anointed,
28 Yo fè tou sa ou menm, nan tout pouvwa ou ak pwòp volonte ou, ou te deside davans ki pou te fèt la.
to do whatever your hand and your counsel foreordained to happen.
29 Koulye a, Bondye, gade ki jan y'ap fè nou menas. Bay sèvitè ou yo fòs pou yo ka fè konnen mesaj ou a avèk konviksyon.
Now, Lord, look at their threats, and grant to your servants to speak your word with all boldness,
30 Lonje men ou pou yo ka fè gerizon, mirak ak lòt bèl bagay nan non Jezi, sèvitè ki te viv pou ou a.
while you stretch out your hand to heal; and that signs and wonders may be done through the name of your holy Servant Jesus.”
31 Lè yo fin lapriyè, kote yo te ye a pran tranble. Yo tout te anba pouvwa Sentespri, epi yo pran anonse pawòl Bondye a avèk konviksyon.
When they had prayed, the place was shaken where they were gathered together. They were all filled with the Holy Spirit, and they spoke the word of God with boldness.
32 Tout moun ki te kwè yo te fè yon sèl kò, yo te gen menm santiman yonn pou lòt, yo te gen yon sèl lide yonn anvè lòt. Pesonn pa t' di byen li yo te pou tèt pa l' ase, men tou sa yonn te genyen te pou tout moun.
The multitude of those who believed were of one heart and soul. Not one of them claimed that anything of the things which he possessed was his own, but they had all things in common.
33 Se avèk anpil pouvwa apòt yo t'ap bay prèv ki jan Bondye te leve Jezi fè l' soti vivan nan lanmò. Bondye menm te vide benediksyon l' an kantite sou yo tout.
With great power, the apostles gave their testimony of the resurrection of the Lord Jesus. Great grace was on them all.
34 Pesonn nan mitan yo pa t' nan nesesite. Sa ki te gen jaden, sa ki te gen kay, yo vann sa, yo pote lajan an
For neither was there amongst them any who lacked, for as many as were owners of lands or houses sold them, and brought the proceeds of the things that were sold,
35 renmèt apòt yo. Apre sa, yo te separe lajan an bay chak moun dapre nesesite yo.
and laid them at the apostles’ feet; and distribution was made to each, according as anyone had need.
36 Se konsa, te gen yon nonm yo rele Jozèf, yon moun Levi ki soti lil Chip. Apòt yo te ba l' yon ti non Banabas, ki te vle di: Nonm k'ap ankouraje a.
Joses, who by the apostles was also called Barnabas (which is, being interpreted, Son of Encouragement), a Levite, a man of Cyprus by race,
37 Enben, li vann yon jaden li te genyen, li pote lajan an renmèt apòt yo.
having a field, sold it and brought the money and laid it at the apostles’ feet.
