Acts 1
1 The former treatise have I made, O Theophilus, of all that Jesus began both to do and teach,
Premye istwa ke m te ekri a, chè Théophile, sou tout bagay ke Jésus te kòmanse fè ak enstwi yo,
2 Until the day in which he was taken up, after that he through the Holy Ghost had given commandments to the apostles whom he had chosen:
jis rive jou lè Li te monte nan syèl la apre Li te fin bay lòd selon Lespri Sen an, a apòt ke Li te chwazi yo.
3 To whom also he showed himself alive after his passion by many infallible proofs, being seen of them forty days, and speaking of the things pertaining to the kingdom of God:
A sila yo osi Li te prezante tèt li vivan apre soufrans Li, e avèk anpil prèv konvenkan, Li te parèt a yo menm pandan karant jou, e te pale avèk yo de bagay ki te konsène wayòm syèl la.
4 And, being assembled together with them, commanded them that they should not depart from Jerusalem, but wait for the promise of the Father, which, says he, you have heard of me.
Li te rasanble yo ansanm e te kòmande yo: “Pa kite Jérusalem, men tann sa ke Papa a te pwomèt la; sa ke nou te tande de Mwen menm nan.
5 For John truly baptized with water; but you shall be baptized with the Holy Ghost not many days hence.
Paske Jean te batize avèk dlo, men nou va batize avèk Lespri Sen an pa a anpil jou de kounye a.”
6 When they therefore were come together, they asked of him, saying, Lord, will you at this time restore again the kingdom to Israel?
Donk, lè yo te reyini ansanm, yo t ap poze Li kesyon, e t ap di: “Senyè èske se nan lè sa a ke W ap restore Wayòm lan an Israël?”
7 And he said to them, It is not for you to know the times or the seasons, which the Father has put in his own power.
Li te di yo: “Se pa nou menm ki pou konnen ni lè ni tan ke Papa a gen tan fikse pa otorite pa L.
8 But you shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come on you: and you shall be witnesses to me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea, and in Samaria, and to the uttermost part of the earth.
Men Nou va resevwa pouvwa lè Lespri Sen an vini sou nou. Nou va temwen Mwen ni nan Jérusalem, ni nan Juda ak Samarie, e jis rive nan dènye ekstremite latè.”
9 And when he had spoken these things, while they beheld, he was taken up; and a cloud received him out of their sight.
Lè Li te fin di bagay sa yo Li te vin leve anlè pandan yo t ap gade, e yon nyaj te resevwa L. Li te vin disparèt jiskaske yo pa t wè Li.
10 And while they looked steadfastly toward heaven as he went up, behold, two men stood by them in white apparel;
Pandan yo t ap toujou gade byen fikse nan syèl la, pandan Li t ap prale, epi vwala de mesye ak vètman blan te kanpe akote L;
11 Which also said, You men of Galilee, why stand you gazing up into heaven? this same Jesus, which is taken up from you into heaven, shall so come in like manner as you have seen him go into heaven.
E yo menm osi te di: “Moun Galilée yo, poukisa nou kanpe ap gade nan syèl la? Jésus sila a, ki leve kite nou, pou ale nan syèl la, va vini menm jan ke nou wè L ale nan syèl la”.
12 Then returned they to Jerusalem from the mount called Olivet, which is from Jerusalem a sabbath day’s journey.
Alò, yo te retounen Jérusalem sòti nan mòn yo rele Olivier a, ki toupre Jérusalem, a distans mache yon jou Saba.
13 And when they were come in, they went up into an upper room, where stayed both Peter, and James, and John, and Andrew, Philip, and Thomas, Bartholomew, and Matthew, James the son of Alphaeus, and Simon Zelotes, and Judas the brother of James.
Lè yo te antre nan vil la, yo te ale nan chanm anlè kote yo t ap rete a; sa vle di, Pierre Jean, Jacques André, Philippe, Thomas, Barthélemy, Matthieu, Jacques, ki te fis Alphée a, Simon, Zelòt la, ak Judas, fis a Jacques la.
14 These all continued with one accord in prayer and supplication, with the women, and Mary the mother of Jesus, and with his brothers.
Sa yo avèk yon sèl panse yo t ap toujou pèsevere nan lapriyè, ansanm avèk fanm yo, ak Marie, manman a Jésus, ak frè Li yo.
15 And in those days Peter stood up in the middle of the disciples, and said, (the number of names together were about an hundred and twenty, )
Nan lè sa a, Pierre te kanpe nan mitan frè yo (yon asanble de anviwon san ven moun ki te la ansanm) e te di:
16 Men and brothers, this scripture must needs have been fulfilled, which the Holy Ghost by the mouth of David spoke before concerning Judas, which was guide to them that took Jesus.
“Frè m yo, Ekriti a te oblije vin akonpli, jan Lespri Sen an te anonse oparavan pa bouch David konsènan Judas ki te vin yon gid a sila ki te arete Jésus yo.
17 For he was numbered with us, and had obtained part of this ministry.
Paske li te konte pami nou, e te resevwa pati pa li, nan èv sila a.
18 Now this man purchased a field with the reward of iniquity; and falling headlong, he burst asunder in the middle, and all his bowels gushed out.
“Alò mesye sila te vin achte yon chan avèk pri mechanste li a; e te tonbe tèt devan; vant li te fann e zantray li te vide sòti.
19 And it was known to all the dwellers at Jerusalem; so as that field is called in their proper tongue, Aceldama, that is to say, The field of blood.
Epi sa te vin byen koni pa tout sila ki te rete Jérusalem yo; pou ke nan pwòp lang pa yo, yo te rele chan sa a Hakeldama, ki vle di chan san an.
20 For it is written in the book of Psalms, Let his habitation be desolate, and let no man dwell therein: and his position as bishop let another take.
“Paske sa ekri nan liv Sòm Yo: ‘Kite kote li rete a vin devaste; e pa kite pèsòn rete ladan l’; ‘Kite yon lòt moun vin pran pozisyon pa li a’.
21 Why of these men which have companied with us all the time that the Lord Jesus went in and out among us,
“Donk, li nesesè ke pami moun ki akonpanye nou tout tan ke Senyè Jésus te antre sòti pami nou yo,
22 Beginning from the baptism of John, to that same day that he was taken up from us, must one be ordained to be a witness with us of his resurrection.
kòmanse nan batèm Jean, jis rive jou ke Li te anlève soti nan mitan nou an, youn nan sila yo ta dwe devni yon temwen avèk nou de rezirèksyon Li.”
23 And they appointed two, Joseph called Barsabas, who was surnamed Justus, and Matthias.
Konsa yo te mete devan de mesye, Joseph ke yo te rele Barsabbas, ki te anplis rele Justus, ak Matthias.
24 And they prayed, and said, You, Lord, which know the hearts of all men, show whether of these two you have chosen,
Yo te priye, e te di: “Ou menm, Senyè ki konnen kè tout moun, montre nou kilès nan de zòm sa yo Ou chwazi a,
25 That he may take part of this ministry and apostleship, from which Judas by transgression fell, that he might go to his own place.
pou okipe èv apòt sila a ke Judas te vire kite pou ale nan pwòp plas li a.”
26 And they gave forth their lots; and the lot fell on Matthias; and he was numbered with the eleven apostles.
Yo te fè tiraj osò pou yo, e osò a te tonbe pou Matthias. Konsa, li te ajoute pami onz apòt yo.
