Acts 17
1 As they made their iorney thorow Amphipolis and Appolonia they came to Thessalonica where was a synagoge of the Iewes.
Alò, lè yo te fin vwayaje travèse Amphipolis ak Apollonie, yo te rive Thessalonique, kote te gen yon sinagòg Jwif.
2 And Paul as his maner was went in vnto them and thre saboth doyes declared oute of the scripture vnto them
Selon abitid Paul, li te ale kote yo. Pandan twa Saba li te rezone avèk yo sou Ekriti Sen 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 te bay eksplikasyon ak evidans ke Kris la te oblije soufri e leve ankò soti nan lanmò. Li t ap di: “Jésus sila a, ke mwen ap pwoklame a nou an, se 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.
Kèk nan yo te vin kwè, e te vin jwenn avèk Paul ak Silas, ansanm avèk yon gran kantite Grèk ki te krent Bondye, ak yon kantite fanm enpòtan.
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 te vin jalou, e te mennen kèk mesye mechan sòti nan mache a. Yo te fòme yon ekip ajitatè, e te mete tout vil la nan yon tapaj. Lè yo te rive lakay Jason, yo t ap chache mennen yo deyò bay pèp 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
Men lè yo pa t twouve yo, yo te kòmanse rale Jason ak kèk lòt nan frè yo devan otorite vil yo. Yo t ap rele: “Mesye sa yo k ap boulvèse tout mond lan rive isit la tou.
7 which Iason hath receaved prevely. And these all do contrary to the elders of Cesar affirmynge another kynge one Iesus.
Se Jason ki resevwa yo. Yo tout aji kont dekrè César a. Y ap di gen yon lòt wa, Jésus!”
8 And they troubled the people and the officers of the cite when they hearde these thinges.
Foul la ak chèf yo te byen twouble lè yo tande bagay sa yo.
9 And when they were sufficiently answered of Iason and of the other they let the goo.
Lè yo te resevwa yon bon garanti nan men Jason ak lòt yo, yo te 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.
Frè yo, konsa, te voye Paul ak Silas ale nan Bérée pandan nwit lan. Lè yo te rive, yo te antre 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.
Alò, Jwif sila yo te pi nòb pase sila nan Thessalonique yo, paske yo te resevwa pawòl la avèk yon gwo anvi. Yo te egzamine Ekriti yo chak jou pou wè si bagay sa yo se te konsa.
12 And many of the beleved: also of worshipfull weme which were Grekes and of men not a feawe.
Konsa, anpil nan yo te vin kwè, ansanm avèk plizyè mesye ak fanm Grèk enpòtan yo.
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 Thessalonique yo te vin konprann ke pawòl Bondye a te pwoklame pa Paul nan Bérée, yo te vini la osi pou yo ajite ak chofe foul la.
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.
Alò, imedyatman frè yo te voye Paul deyò pou ale jis kote lanmè a, e Silas ak Timothée te rete la.
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.
Alò, sila ki t ap gide Paul yo te mennen li jiska Athènes. Yo te kite li la, epi lè yo fin resevwa lòd pou fè Silas ak Timothée vin kote l pi vit ke posib, yo te ale.
16 Whyll Paul wayted for them at Attens his sprete was moved in him to se the cite geven to worshippinge of ymages.
Pandan Paul t ap tann yo nan Athènes, lespri li te pwovoke anndan l akoz li te wè ke vil la te ranpli nèt avèk 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.
Konsa, li t ap rezone nan sinagòg la avèk Jwif yo ak pèp etranje ki te krent Bondye yo, e nan mache a chak jou avèk sila ke li te konn rakontre.
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.
Anplis, kèk nan filosòf Epikiryen ak Stoyik yo t ap diskite avè l. Kèk t ap di: “Kisa mesye ki renmen pale anpil sa a ta vle di?” Lòt yo t ap di: “Li sanble ke l ap pwoklame kèk lòt kalite dye etranje” —akoz ke li t ap preche Jésus ak rezirèksyon an.
19 And they toke him and brought him into Marsestrete sayinge: maye we not knowe what this newe doctrine wher of thou speakest is?
Konsa, yo te pran li e te mennen li nan Aréopage la. Yo te di l: “Èske ou kapab eksplike nou nouvo ansèyman sila a, ke w ap pwoklame a.
20 For thou bringest straunge tydynges to oure eares. We wolde knowe therfore what these thinges meane.
Paske w ap pote kèk bagay byen dwòl nan zòrèy nou. Konsa, nou vle konnen kisa bagay 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.
(Alò, tout Atenyen yo ak lòt etranje ki t ap vizite la yo te konn pase tout tan yo nan pale, oswa nan tande kèk lide nèf.)
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.
Konsa, Paul te kanpe nan mitan Aréopage la, e te di: “Mesye Athènes yo, mwen wè ke nou se moun ki renmen adore nan tout sans.
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.
Paske pandan mwen t ap travèse e t ap egzamine objè adorasyon nou yo, mwen te twouve yon otèl avèk enskripsyon sa a: “A Dye Enkoni an!” Konsa, sila ke nou ap adore san konnen an, mwen pwoklame L a nou.
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 te fè mond lan avèk tout bagay ki ladann yo, akoz Li se Senyè syèl la ak tè a, pa rete nan tanp ki fèt pa men a lòm.
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
Ni li pa sèvi pa men moun kòmsi Li te bezwen yon bagay. Paske se Li menm ki bay moun lavi, souf ak tout 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 ki te fè sòti nan yon sèl òm, tout nasyon a lòm yo, pou viv sou tout sifas tè a, e ki te deja detèmine fòs tan yo ta pase ladann, ak lizyè pou kote yo ta viv yo;
27 that they shuld seke God yf they myght fele and fynde him though he be not farre from every one of vs.
pou yo ta chèche Bondye, si petèt yo ta lonje men yo e twouve L, malgre ke Li pa lwen de chak en de nou.
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 nan Li nou viv, nou fè mouvman, e nou egziste menm, jan kèk nan powèt nou yo konn di: paske nou menm tou 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.
Konsa, akoz ke nou se pitit a Bondye, nou pa dwe panse ke lanati diven an se tankou lò, lajan, oswa wòch; yon imaj ki fòme pa da ak refleksyon a lòm.
30 And the tyme of this ignoraunce God regarded not: but now he byddeth all men every where repent
“Bondye pa t konte tan inyorans sa yo, men koulye a Li deklare ke lòm toupatou dwe repanti,
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.
paske Li deja fikse yon jou ladann ke Li va jije lemonn nan ladwati atravè yon nonm ke Li nome, e te founi prèv a tout moun lè L te fè L leve, sòti nan lanmò a.”
32 When they hearde of ye resurreccion from deeth some mocked and other sayde: we will heare the agayne of this matter.
Alò, lè yo te tande de rezirèksyon lanmò a, kèk te kòmanse moke l, men lòt yo te di: “Nou dwe tande ou ankò konsènan sa a”.
33 So Paul departed from amonge them.
Konsa Paul te sòti 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 kèk moun te vin jwenn li e te kwè. Pami sila yo te gen osi Denys, moun Aréopage la, yon fanm ki te rele Damaris, e kèk lòt avèk yo.
