Acts 11
1 Nowe the Apostles and the brethren that were in Iudea, heard, that the Gentiles had also receiued the worde of God.
Alò, apòt yo ak frè fidèl yo ki te nan tout Judée te tande ke pèp etranje yo osi te resevwa pawòl Bondye a.
2 And when Peter was come vp to Hierusalem, they of the circumcision contended against him,
Men lè Pierre te vin monte Jérusalem, sila ki te sikonsi yo te vin pa dakò avèk li.
3 Saying, Thou wentest in to men vncircumcised, and hast eaten with them.
Yo t ap di: “Ou te ale kote moun ensikonsi yo, e te manje avèk yo.”
4 Then Peter beganne, and expounded the thing in order to them, saying,
Konsa, Pierre te kòmanse eksplike yo istwa a nan lòd ke tout bagay te rive yo. Li te di:
5 I was in the citie of Ioppa, praying, and in a trance I sawe this vision, A certaine vessell comming downe as it had bene a great sheete, let downe from heauen by the foure corners, and it came to me.
“Mwen te nan vil Joppé, e mwen te nan lapriyè. Nan yon pwofon somèy mwen te fè yon vizyon; yon sèten objè ki te vin desann kon yon gwo dra ki kenbe nan kat kwen soti nan syèl la, e li te vini tou dwat devan mwen.
6 Towarde the which when I had fastened mine eyes, I considered, and sawe foure footed beastes of the earth, and wilde beastes, and creeping things, and foules of the heauen.
Lè m te fikse zye m sou li, e t ap gade l, mwen te wè bèt latè a kat pye, bèt sovaj, reptil, ak zwazo syèl yo.
7 Also I heard a voyce, saying vnto me, Arise, Peter: slay and eate.
Konsa, mwen te tande yon vwa ki te di m: ‘Leve Pierre; touye e manje.’
8 And I said, God forbid, Lord: for nothing polluted or vncleane hath at any time entred into my mouth.
“Men mwen te di: ‘Non Senyè, paske anyen ki pa sen, oswa ki pa pwòp pa janm antre nan bouch mwen.’
9 But the voyce answered me the seconde time from heauen, The things that God hath purified, pollute thou not.
“Men yon vwa ki soti nan syèl la te reponn yon dezyèm fwa: ‘Sa ke Bondye fè pwòp, pa konsidere l ankò pa sen.’
10 And this was done three times, and all were taken vp againe into heauen.
Sa te fèt twa fwa, epi tout bagay yo te rale monte ankò nan syèl la.
11 Then behold, immediatly there were three men already come vnto the house where I was, sent from Cesarea vnto me.
“Epi gade byen, nan moman sa a, twa mesye ki te voye kote mwen sòti Césarée, te parèt devan kay la kote nou te rete a.
12 And the Spirit saide vnto me, that I should go with them, without doubting: moreouer these sixe brethren came with me, and we entred into the mans house.
“Lespri a te di m ale avèk yo san krent. Sis frè sila yo osi te ale avè m, e nou te antre nan kay mesye a.
13 And he shewed vs, howe he had seene an Angel in his house, which stoode and said to him, Send men to Ioppa, and call for Simon, whose surname is Peter.
“Epi li te rapòte kijan li te wè zanj lan kanpe lakay li a, e te di: ‘Voye Joppé pou fè Simon, ke yo rele osi Pierre, vin isit la.
14 He shall speake wordes vnto thee, whereby both thou and all thine house shalbe saued.
Li va pale nou pawòl yo. Ak yo menm nou va sove, nou menm avèk tout lakay nou.’
15 And as I began to speake, the holy Ghost fell on them, euen as vpon vs at the beginning.
“Epi lè mwen te kòmanse pale Lespri Sen an te vin tonbe sou yo menm jan ke li te fè sou nou nan kòmansman an.
16 Then I remembred the word of the Lord, howe he said, Iohn baptized with water, but ye shalbe baptized with the holy Ghost.
Konsa, mwen te sonje pawòl Senyè a, jan Li te konn di a: ‘Jean te batize avèk dlo, men nou va batize avèk Lespri Sen an.’
17 For as much then as God gaue them a like gift, as he did vnto vs, when we beleeued in the Lord Iesus Christ, who was I, that I coulde let God?
“Donk, si Bondye te bay yo menm don ak nou, lè nou te vin kwè nan Senyè Jésus Kri a, kilès mwen te ye pou m ta kab anpeche Bondye?”
18 When they heard these things, they helde their peace, and glorified God, saying, Then hath God also to the Gentiles graunted repentance vnto life.
Lè yo te tande sa a, yo te vin kalme, e te bay Bondye glwa. Yo te di: “Ebyen konsa, Bondye akòde a lòt nasyon yo tou, repantans ki mennen a lavi a.”
19 And they which were scattered abroade because of the affliction that arose about Steuen, went throughout till they came vnto Phenice and Cyprus, and Antiochia, preaching the worde to no man, but vnto the Iewes onely.
Answit, moun ki te gaye akoz pèsekisyon ki te leve a, ansanm ak zafè Étienne nan, te fè wout yo pou Phénicie, Chypre, ak Antioche, e yo t ap pale pawòl la a Jwif yo sèlman.
20 Now some of them were men of Cyprus and of Cyrene, which when they were come into Antiochia, spake vnto the Grecians, and preached the Lord Iesus.
Men te gen nan yo, moun Chypre ak Cyrène ki te vini Antioche. E yo te kòmanse pale ak Grèk yo osi, e t ap preche Senyè Jésus a.
21 And the hand of the Lord was with them, so that a great number beleeued and turned vnto the Lord.
Men la a Senyè a te avèk yo, e yon gran kantite ki te kwè te vire vè Senyè a.
22 Then tydings of those things came vnto the eares of the Church, which was in Hierusalem, and they sent foorth Barnabas, that he should goe vnto Antiochia.
Nouvèl yo te rive nan zòrèy a legliz la nan Jérusalem, e yo te voye Barnabas Antioche.
23 Who when he was come and had seene the grace of God, was glad, and exhorted all, that with purpose of heart they would continue in the Lord.
Konsa, lè l rive, e te wè gras Bondye a, li te rejwi. Li te kòmanse ankouraje yo tout, pou yo avèk yon sèl panse, ta rete fidèl a Senyè a.
24 For he was a good man, and full of the holy Ghost, and faith, and much people ioyned them selues vnto the Lord.
Paske li te yon bon moun. Li te ranpli ak Lespri Sen an, ak lafwa. Konsa, anpil moun te adisyonen a Senyè a.
25 Then departed Barnabas to Tarsus to seeke Saul:
Barnabas te kite Tarse pou ale jwenn Saul.
26 And when he had founde him, he brought him vnto Antiochia: and it came to passe that a whole yere they were conuersant with ye Church, and taught much people, in so much that the disciples were first called Christians in Antiochia.
Lè li te twouve li, li te mennen l Antioche. Pandan yon ane antye yo te reyini avèk legliz la, e yo te enstwi anpil moun. Disip yo te premyèman rele “Kretyen” la a, nan Antioche.
27 In those dayes also came Prophets from Hierusalem vnto Antiochia.
Alò nan tan sa a, kèk pwofèt te sòti Jérusalem pou rive Antioche.
28 And there stoode vp one of them named Agabus, and signified by the Spirit, that there should be great famine throughout all the world, which also came to passe vnder Claudius Cesar.
Youn nan yo ke yo te rele Agabus te kanpe. Li te kòmanse endike pa Lespri a, ke an verite, t ap gen yon gwo grangou nan tout mond lan. Epi se sa menm ki te rive sou règn Claude la.
29 Then the disciples, euery man according to his ability, purposed to sende succour vnto the brethren which dwelt in Iudea.
Epi selon mwayen ke nenpòt disip te genyen, yo chak te detèmine pou voye asistans pou sekou a frè yo nan Judée.
30 Which thing they also did, and sent it to the Elders, by the hand of Barnabas and Saul.
Se konsa yo te fè, e te voye l pa men Barnabas ak Saul pou livre bay ansyen yo.
