Acts 10 (HAT) · Opened

1Nan lavil Sezare te gen yon nonm ki te rele Kònèy. Li te kaptenn yon batayon sòlda moun peyi Itali nan lame women an.At Caesarea there was a man named Cornelius, a centurion in what was called the Italian Regiment.

2Kònèy te yon nonm ki t'ap sèvi Bondye jwif yo. Li menm ak tout fanmi l', yo te gen krentif pou Bondye. Li te fè anpil pou pòv yo pami pèp jwif la. Epi se tout tan li t'ap lapriyè Bondye.He and all his household were devout and God-fearing. He gave generously to the people and prayed to God regularly.

3Yon jou apremidi, vè twazè, li fè yon vizyon: aklè konsa, li wè yon zanj Bondye antre lakay li. Zanj lan rele li: Kònèy!One day at about the ninth hour, he had a clear vision of an angel of God who came to him and said, “Cornelius!”

4Li gade zanj lan, li te pè, li di l' konsa: Sak genyen, Mèt? Zanj lan reponn li: Bondye asepte lapriyè ou yo ansanm ak tout byen ou te fè pou pòv yo. Epi li chonje ou.Cornelius stared at him in fear and asked, “What is it, Lord?” The angel answered, “Your prayers and gifts to the poor have ascended as a memorial offering before God.

5Koulye a, voye moun lavil Jope, fè y' al chache yon nonm yo rele Simon (li gen yon ti non Pyè).Now send men to Joppa to call for a man named Simon who is called Peter.

6Li fè ladesant lakay Simon, bòs tanè a, ki gen kay li bò lanmè a.He is staying with Simon the tanner, whose house is by the sea.”

7Fini zanj Bondye a fin pale, li ale. Kònèy rele de domestik ansanm ak yonn nan gad kò l' ki t'ap sèvi Bondye jwif yo tou.When the angel who spoke to him had gone, Cornelius called two of his servants and a devout soldier from among his attendants.

8Li rakonte yo tou sak te pase. Lèfini, li voye yo Jope.He explained what had happened and sent them to Joppa.

9Nan denmen, vè midi konsa, yo te nan wout toujou, men yo te prèt pou rive Jope. Menm lè sa a, Pyè moute anwo sou tèt kay la pou li al lapriyè.The next day at about the sixth hour, as the men were approaching the city on their journey, Peter went up on the roof to pray.

10Grangou bare l', li te anvi manje. Pandan yo t'ap pare manje pou li, li fè yon vizyon:He became hungry and wanted something to eat, but while the meal was being prepared, he fell into a trance.

11Li wè syèl la louvri epi yon bagay t'ap desann soti ladan li. Bagay la te tankou yon gwo dra mare nan kat bout li ki t'ap file desann sou latè.He saw heaven open and something like a large sheet being let down to earth by its four corners.

12Te gen tout kalite bèt kat pat, tout kalite bèt ki trennen sou vant ak tout kalite zwezo ladan li.It contained all kinds of four-footed animals and reptiles of the earth, as well as birds of the air.

13Li tande yon vwa ki di l' konsa: Leve non, Pyè. Touye, lè ou fini, manje.Then a voice said to him: “Get up, Peter, kill and eat!”

14Men, Pyè di: Non, Mèt. Mwen pa janm manje move manje ni manje ki pa bon pou moun k'ap sèvi Bondye.“No, Lord!” Peter answered. “I have never eaten anything impure or unclean.”

15Menm vwa a pale ankò, li di li: Bagay Bondye di ki bon pou moun k'ap sèvi l', ou menm, pa di l' pa bon.The voice spoke to him a second time: “Do not call anything impure that God has made clean.”

16An twa fwa sa repete. Apre sa, lamenm bagay la moute tounen nan syèl la.This happened three times, and all at once the sheet was taken back up into heaven.

17Pyè menm pa t' konn ki sans pou l' te bay vizyon li te fè a. Men, tout tan sa a, moun Kònèy te voye yo t'ap mande ki bò kay Simon an te ye. Yo te rive devan pòt la.While Peter was puzzling over the meaning of the vision, the men sent by Cornelius found Simon’s house and approached the gate.

18Yo rele moun, epi yo mande: Eske se isit Simon yo rele Pyè a fè ladesant li?They called out to ask if Simon called Peter was staying there.

19Pyè t'ap kalkile toujou sou sans pou l' te bay vizyon an, lè Sentespri di li: Koute. Gen twa moun anba a k'ap mande pou ou.As Peter continued to reflect on the vision, the Spirit said to him, “Behold, three men are looking for you.

20Leve non, desann. Pati ak yo touswit, se mwen menm ki voye yo.So get up! Go downstairs and accompany them without hesitation, because I have sent them.”

21Pyè desann, li al jwenn mesye yo, epi l' di yo: Se mwen menm n'ap chache a. Kisak mennen nou isit la?So Peter went down to the men and said, “Here am I, the one you are looking for. Why have you come?”

22Yo reponn: Se kaptenn Kònèy ki voye nou. Nonm sa a, se yon bon gason ki gen krentif pou Bondye. Tout pèp jwif la konsidere l' anpil. Enben, yon zanj Bondye te di l' pou l' te voye chache ou pou ou vin lakay li. Li bezwen tande sa ou gen pou di l' la.“Cornelius the centurion has sent us,” they said. “He is a righteous and God-fearing man with a good reputation among the whole Jewish nation. A holy angel instructed him to request your presence in his home so he could hear a message from you.”

23Pyè fè yo antre. Li fè yo pase nwit lan avè li. Nan denmen, li leve, li pati ak yo. Kèk frè lavil Jope ale avè l' tou.So Peter invited them in as his guests. And the next day he got ready and went with them, accompanied by some of the brothers from Joppa.

24Yo rive Sezare yon jou apre. Kònèy t'ap tann yo ak tout fanmi l' ansanm ak kèk bon zanmi l' li te envite lakay li.The following day he arrived in Caesarea, where Cornelius was expecting them and had called together his relatives and close friends.

25Pyè fè sa pou l' antre, Kònèy kouri vin devan l', li lage kò l' nan pye l', li bese tèt li byen ba devan li.As Peter was about to enter, Cornelius met him and fell at his feet to worship him.

26Men, Pyè fè l' leve, li di l' konsa: Kanpe non, monchè. Se yon moun mwen ye tou.But Peter helped him up. “Stand up,” he said, “I am only a man myself.”

27Pyè kontinye pale avèk li. Yo antre nan kay la epi Pyè jwenn yon bann moun ki te sanble.As Peter talked with him, he went inside and found many people gathered together.

28Li di yo: Nou konnen sa pa fèt: jwif pa gen dwa mele ak moun lòt nasyon ni mete pye lakay yo. Relijyon l' pa penmèt sa. Men, Bondye fè m' konnen, mwen pa gen dwa gade pesonn pou move moun ni pou moun ki pa nan kondisyon pou sèvi Bondye.He said to them, “You know how unlawful it is for a Jew to associate with a foreigner or visit him. But God has shown me that I should not call any man impure or unclean.

29Se poutèt sa, voye ou voye rele m' lan, mwen pa fè ni yonn ni de, mwen vini. Koulye a, mwen ta renmen konnen poukisa ou voye chache m' lan.So when I was invited, I came without objection. I ask, then, why have you sent for me?”

30Kònèy di li: Jòdi a fè kat jou, mwen te lakay mwen, mwen t'ap lapriyè vè twazè konsa nan apremidi. Mwen rete konsa, mwen wè yon nonm ki te gen yon bèl rad byen klere sou li kanpe devan mwen.Cornelius answered: “Four days ago I was in my house praying at this, the ninth hour. Suddenly a man in radiant clothing stood before me

31Epi l' di mwen: Kònèy, Bondye tande lapriyè ou, li chonje tout byen ou fè pou pòv yo.and said, ‘Cornelius, your prayer has been heard, and your gifts to the poor have been remembered before God.

32Voye yon moun lavil Jope al rele Simon ki gen ti non Pyè a. Se lakay Simon, bòs tanè ki bò lanmè a, li ye.Therefore send to Joppa for Simon, who is called Peter. He is a guest in the home of Simon the tanner, by the sea.’

33Menm lè a, mwen voye chache ou, epi ou asepte vini. Koulye a, men nou tout la devan Bondye, n'ap koute tou sa Bondye ba ou lòd di nou.So I sent for you immediately, and you were kind enough to come. Now then, we are all here in the presence of God to listen to everything the Lord has instructed you to tell us.”

34Pyè pran lapawòl, li di: Wi, koulye a, mwen konprann sa se vre: Bondye pa gade sou figi moun.Then Peter began to speak: “I now truly understand that God does not show favoritism,

35Li kontan ak tout moun nan tout nasyon ki gen krentif pou li epi ki fè sa ki dwat devan li.but welcomes those from every nation who fear Him and do what is right.

36Nou konnen mesaj Bondye te voye bay pèp Izrayèl la: li fè yo konnen bon nouvèl la ki di: Bondye voye Jezi ki Mèt tout moun pou bay tout moun kè poze.He has sent this message to the people of Israel, proclaiming the gospel of peace through Jesus Christ, who is Lord of all.

37Nou konnen sak te rive nan tout peyi Jide a. Bagay sa yo kòmanse nan peyi Galile, apre batèm Jan t'ap anonse a.You yourselves know what has happened throughout Judea, beginning in Galilee with the baptism that John proclaimed:

38Nou konnen tou ki jan Bondye te vide pouvwa Sentespri l' sou Jezi, moun Nazarèt la. Jezi mache nan tout peyi a, li t'ap fè byen, li t'ap geri tout moun ki te anba pouvwa Satan paske Bondye te kanpe avèk li.how God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Spirit and with power, and how Jesus went around doing good and healing all who were oppressed by the devil, because God was with Him.

39Nou menm k'ap pale la a, nou temwen tou sa li te fè nan peyi jwif yo ak nan Jerizalèm. Yo te touye l', yo te kloure l' sou kwa a.We are witnesses of all that He did, both in the land of the Jews and in Jerusalem. And although they put Him to death by hanging Him on a tree,

40Men sou twa jou, Bondye fè l' leve soti vivan nan lanmò. Apre sa, li fè moun wè li vivan.God raised Him up on the third day and caused Him to be seen—

41Se pa tout moun non ki te wè li. Se nou menm ase ki te wè li. Bondye te chwazi nou davans pou sèvi l' temwen. Wi, nou manje avè l', nou bwè avè l' apre Bondye te fè l' tounen vivan soti nan lanmò.not by all the people, but by the witnesses God had chosen beforehand, by us who ate and drank with Him after He rose from the dead.

42Li ban nou lòd mache fè konnen bon nouvèl la bay pèp la, pou n' fè konnen se Jezi menm Bondye mete pou jije tout moun san wete yonn, kit yo vivan kit yo mouri deja.And He commanded us to preach to the people and to testify that He is the One appointed by God to judge the living and the dead.

43Tout pwofèt yo te di sa sou li: Nenpòt moun ki met konfyans yo nan Jezi va resevwa padon pou tout peche yo gremesi non sa a.All the prophets testify about Him that everyone who believes in Him receives forgiveness of sins through His name.”

44Pyè t'ap pale toujou lè Sentespri a desann sou tout moun ki t'ap koute mesaj la.While Peter was still speaking these words, the Holy Spirit fell upon all who heard his message.

45Frè ki te soti lavil Jope ansanm ak Pyè yo se jwif yo te ye. Yo te sezi wè ki jan Bondye te bay moun ki pa jwif yo Sentespri l' an kantite.All the circumcised believers who had accompanied Peter were astounded that the gift of the Holy Spirit had been poured out even on the Gentiles.

46Yo te tande moun lòt nasyon yo ap pale nan lòt lang. Yo t'ap fè lwanj Bondye, yo t'ap di jan li gen pouvwa. Lè sa a Pyè di:For they heard them speaking in tongues and exalting God. Then Peter said,

47Moun sa yo resevwa Sentespri menm jan avèk nou. Koulye a, ki moun ki ka anpeche nou batize yo nan dlo tou?“Can anyone withhold the water to baptize these people? They have received the Holy Spirit just as we have!”

48Epi li bay lòd batize yo nan non Jezikri. Apre sa, yo mande Pyè pou l' rete pase kèk jou avèk yo.So he ordered that they be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ. Then they asked him to stay for a few days.
