Acts 17
1 As they made their iorney thorow Amphipolis and Appolonia they came to Thessalonica where was a synagoge of the Iewes.
Yo pase lavil Anfipolis ak lavil Apoloni, yo rive lavil Tesalonik kote jwif yo te gen yon sinagòg.
2 And Paul as his maner was went in vnto them and thre saboth doyes declared oute of the scripture vnto them
Jan l' te konn fè a, Pòl antre nan sinagòg la. Pandan twa jou repo li diskite ak jwif yo sou sak te ekri nan Liv yo.
3 openynge and allegynge that Christ must nedes have suffred and rysen agayne from deeth and that this Iesus was Christ whom (sayde he) I preache to you.
Li t'ap ba yo esplikasyon, li t'ap moutre yo ki jan, dapre sa ki te ekri a, Kris la te gen pou l' soufri, li te gen pou l' te leve soti vivan nan lanmò. Li t'ap di yo: Jezi m'ap fè nou konnen an, se li menm ki Kris la.
4 And some of them beleved and came and companyed with Paul and Sylas: also of the honourable Grekes a greate multitude and of the chefe wemen not a feawe.
Te genyen nan jwif yo ki te kwè, yo pran mache ansanm ak Pòl ak Silas. Se konsa yon bann moun peyi Lagrès ki te konvèti nan relijyon jwif yo ansanm ak anpil gran medam te kwè tou.
5 But the Iewes which beleved not havynge indignacio toke vnto the evyll men which were vagabondes and gadered a company and set all the cite on a roore and made asaute vnto the housse of Iason and sought to bringe the out to the people.
Men, jwif yo t'ap fè jalouzi anpil. Yo pran kèk vakabon yo jwenn nan lari a ak yo, yo sanble yon foul moun, yo mache fè dezòd nan tout lavil la.
6 But when they founde them not they drue Iason and certayne brethren vnto the heedes of the cite cryinge: these that trouble the worlde are come hydder also
Yo rive devan kay Jazon, yo antre al chache Pòl ak Silas pou mennen yo devan pèp la. Lè yo pa jwenn yo, yo trennen Jazon ansanm ak kèk frè devan chèf yo ki nan lavil la. Yo pran pale byen fò, yo t'ap di: Mesye sa yo ap mache fè dezòd toupatou. Men, koulye a yo rive jouk isit la.
7 which Iason hath receaved prevely. And these all do contrary to the elders of Cesar affirmynge another kynge one Iesus.
Jazon menm resevwa mesye yo lakay li. Mesye sa yo ap aji kont lalwa Seza: y'ap di gen yon lòt wa yo rele Jezi.
8 And they troubled the people and the officers of the cite when they hearde these thinges.
Jwif yo te mete foul moun yo ansanm ak chèf yo ankòlè anpil avèk pawòl sa a.
9 And when they were sufficiently answered of Iason and of the other they let the goo.
Jazon ak lòt frè yo te blije fè yon depo lajan pou chèf yo te ka lage yo.
10 And the brethren immediatly sent awaye Paul and Sylas by nyght vnto Berrea. Which when they were come thyther they entred into ye synagoge of the Iewes.
Lè solèy fin kouche, frè yo fè Pòl ak Silas pati pou lavil Bere. Lè yo rive la, y' al nan sinagòg jwif yo.
11 These were the noblest of byrthe amonge the of Thessalonia which receaved the worde wt all diligence of mynde and searched ye scriptures dayly whether those thinges were even so.
Jwif Bere yo te gen pi bon santiman pase sa Tesalonik yo: yo te resevwa pawòl la byen vit san traka. Chak jou yo t'ap egzaminen sa ki te ekri nan Liv la pou wè si sa Pòl t'ap di yo a se vre.
12 And many of the beleved: also of worshipfull weme which were Grekes and of men not a feawe.
Anpil ladan yo te kwè. Konsa, anpil gran medam ak anpil gason nan moun peyi Lagrès yo te kwè.
13 When the Iewes of Thessalonia had knowledge that ye worde of God was preached of Paul at Berrea they came there and moved the people.
Men, lè jwif Tesalonik yo vin konnen Pòl t'ap fè konnen pawòl Bondye a nan Bere tou, yo pati pou Bere. Lè yo rive, yo kòmanse fè dezòd, yo t'ap moute tèt foul moun yo.
14 And then by and by ye brethre sent awaye Paul to goo as it were to ye see: but Sylas and Timotheus abode there still.
Lè frè yo wè sa, yo fè Pòl pati ale jouk bò lanmè a. Men, Silas ak Timote te rete Bere.
15 And they that gyded Paul brought him vnto Attens and receaved a comaundment vnto Sylas and Timotheus for to come to him at once and came their waye.
Moun ki t'ap kondi Pòl yo mennen l' jouk lavil Atèn. Apre sa, yo tounen Bere. Pòl menm te voye lòd bay Silas ak Timote pou yo te vin jwenn li touswit.
16 Whyll Paul wayted for them at Attens his sprete was moved in him to se the cite geven to worshippinge of ymages.
Antan Pòl t'ap tann Silas ak Timote lavil Atèn, sa te nwi lespri l' anpil lè l' wè ki jan lavil la te plen zidòl.
17 Then he disputed in the synagoge wt the Iewes and with the devout persones and in the market dayly with the that came vnto him.
Li t'ap diskite nan sinagòg la avèk jwif yo ansanm ak moun lòt nasyon yo ki te konvèti nan relijyon jwif yo. Apre sa, chak jou li t'ap diskite tou sou plas piblik la avèk tout moun li te kontre la.
18 Certayne philosophers of ye Epicures and of ye stoyckes disputed with him. And some ther were which sayde: what will this babler saye. Other sayd: he semeth to be a tydynges bringer of newe devyls because he preached vnto them Iesus and the resurreccion.
Kèk filozòf ki t'ap swiv prensip patizan Epiki yo ak patizan Zenon yo t'ap pale avèk li. Gen ladan yo ki t'ap di: Kisa paladò sa a vle di la a? Gen lòt moun ki t'ap di: Gen lè l'ap pale sou yon lòt kalite bondye. Yo t'ap di sa paske Pòl t'ap pale yo sou Jezi, li t'ap di yo ki jan mò yo gen pou yo leve vivan ankò.
19 And they toke him and brought him into Marsestrete sayinge: maye we not knowe what this newe doctrine wher of thou speakest is?
Lè sa a, yo pran l', yo mennen l' nan Aewopaj la. Epi yo di li: Nou ta renmen konnen tout bagay nèf sa yo w'ap montre moun yo la a.
20 For thou bringest straunge tydynges to oure eares. We wolde knowe therfore what these thinges meane.
W'ap di yon bann bagay dwòl nan zòrèy nou. Nou ta renmen konnen sa yo vle di.
21 For all the Attenians and straungers which were there gave the selves to nothinge els but ether to tell or to heare newe tydynges.
(Se te abitid tout moun lavil Atèn ak tout moun lòt nasyon ki rete nan lavil la, pou yo pase tout tan yo ap pale osinon ap koute tout kalite pawòl ki fèk parèt.)
22 Paul stode in the myddes of Marse strete and sayde: ye men of Attens I perceave that in all thinges ye are to supersticious.
Lè sa a, Pòl kanpe nan mitan Aewopaj la, li di: Nou menm moun Atèn, mwen wè nou se moun ki renmen relijyon anpil.
23 For as I passed by and behelde the maner how ye worship youre goddes I founde an aultre wher in was written: vnto ye vnknowen god. Whom ye then ignoratly worship him shewe I vnto you.
Mwen di nou sa, paske, antan m'ap pwonmennen nan lavil nou an, mwen wè tout kote nou fè sèvis. Epi nan gade konsa, mwen jwenn yon lotèl kote yo ekri: Pou Bondye nou pa konnen an. Enben, Bondye n'ap sèvi san nou pa konnen l' lan, se li menm m'ap fè nou konnen la a.
24 God that made the worlde and all that are in it seynge that he is Lorde of heven and erth he dwelleth not in temples made with hondes
Bondye ki fè lemonn antye ak tou sa ki ladan l', se li menm ki Mèt syèl la ak tè a. Li pa rete nan kay moun bati ak men yo.
25 nether is worshipped with mennes hondes as though he neded of eny thinge seinge he him selfe geveth lyfe and breeth to all men every where
Li pa bezwen pou moun travay ba l' anyen non plis, paske se li menm ki bay moun lavi, ki fè yo respire, ki ba yo tout lòt bagay.
26 and hath made of one bloud all nacions of men for to dwell on all the face of the erthe and hath assigned before how longe tyme and also the endes of their inhabitacion
Se li menm tou ki kreye tout nasyon ki rete toupatou sou latè. Li fè yo tout soti nan yon sèl moun. Li te fikse davans tan ki pou yo chak, ak limit kote pou yo chak rete.
27 that they shuld seke God yf they myght fele and fynde him though he be not farre from every one of vs.
Li fè tou sa pou yo ka chache l', pou yo ta ka rive jwenn li lè yo seye pran kontak avèk li. Men, Bondye pa pi lwen okenn nan nou pase sa.
28 For in him we lyve move and have oure beynge as certayne of youre awne Poetes sayde. For we are also his generacion.
Paske, se nan li nou gen lavi, se nan li nou ka bay kò nou mouvman, se nan li nou gen legzistans. Gen nan poèt nou yo ki te di menm bagay la: Nou menm tou, nou se pitit li.
29 For as moche then as we are the generacion of God we ought not to thynke that the godhed is lyke vnto golde silver or stone graven by crafte and ymaginacion of man.
Si nou se pitit li, nou pa dwe mete nan tèt nou Bondye tankou yon moso lò, yon moso lajan osinon yon moso wòch moun travay ak ladrès pou fè yon pòtre ki soti nan tèt yo.
30 And the tyme of this ignoraunce God regarded not: but now he byddeth all men every where repent
Men, Bondye fèmen je l' sou tout tan sa yo moun pase nan liyorans. Koulye a li rele yo tout, kote yo ye, pou yo tounen vin jwenn li.
31 because he hath apoynted a daye in the which he will iudge the worlde acordynge to ryghtewesses by that man whom he hath apoynted and hath offered faith to all men after that he had raysed him from deeth.
Se konsa tou, li fikse yon jou lè li gen pou l' jije tout moun san patipri: li chwazi yon nonm pou sa. Li bay tout moun prèv la lè l' fè nonm sa a leve soti vivan nan lanmò.
32 When they hearde of ye resurreccion from deeth some mocked and other sayde: we will heare the agayne of this matter.
Lè yo tande Pòl di moun mouri ka leve, te gen ladan yo ki pran pase l' nan betiz. Gen lòt menm ki t'ap di li: N'a tande koze sa a yon lòt jou.
33 So Paul departed from amonge them.
Se konsa Pòl soti nan mitan yo.
34 Howbeit certayne men clave vnto Paul and beleved amonge the which was Dionysius a senatour and a woman named Damaris and other with them.
Men, atousa, te gen ladan yo ki te dakò pou yo te mache ak Pòl epi ki te kwè. Pami yo te gen Deni, manm Aewopaj la, yon fanm yo te rele Damaris ak kèk lòt ankò.
