Acts 14 (HAT) · Opened

1Nan Ikoniòm, Pòl ak Banabas antre nan sinagòg jwif yo tou. Yo pale sitèlman byen, anpil jwif ak anpil moun lòt nasyon te kwè.At Iconium, Paul and Barnabas went as usual into the Jewish synagogue, where they spoke so well that a great number of Jews and Greeks believed.

2Men jwif ki pa t' kwè yo moute tèt moun lòt nasyon yo, yo fè yo vire sou do Pòl ak Banabas.But the unbelieving Jews stirred up the Gentiles and poisoned their minds against the brothers.

3Pòl ak Banabas rete nan lavil la lontan ankò, yo t'ap fè konnen favè Bondye a avèk anpil konviksyon, paske yo te gen konfyans nan Seyè a. Seyè a menm te bay disip yo pouvwa fè anpil bèl bagay ak anpil mirak pou l' te moutre sa yo t'ap di a te vre.So Paul and Barnabas spent considerable time there, speaking boldly for the Lord, who affirmed the message of His grace by enabling them to perform signs and wonders.

4Nan lavil la moun te fè de kan: yon bò te gen patizan jwif yo, lòt bò a te gen patizan apòt yo.The people of the city were divided. Some sided with the Jews, and others with the apostles.

5Jwif yo, moun lòt nasyon yo ansanm ak chèf yo t'ap pare pou maltrete Pòl ak Banabas, pou touye yo ak kout wòch.But when the Gentiles and Jews, together with their rulers, set out to mistreat and stone them,

6Lè Pòl ak Banabas wè sa, yo kouri met deyò, y' al nan peyi Likaoni, yo rete lavil List ak lavil Dèb ak nan vwazinaj yo.they found out about it and fled to the Lycaonian cities of Lystra and Derbe and to the surrounding region,

7Yo t'ap anonse bon nouvèl la la tou.where they continued to preach the gospel.

8Nan List te gen yon nonm enfim ki te toujou rete chita, paske de pye l' yo te paralize. Li te fèt tou konsa, li pa t' janm mache menm.In Lystra there sat a man crippled in his feet, who was lame from birth and had never walked.

9Li t'ap koute sa Pòl t'ap di. Pòl fikse je l' sou li, li wè nonm lan te gen kont konfyans nan Bondye pou l' te geri.This man was listening to the words of Paul, who looked intently at him and saw that he had faith to be healed.

10Pòl pale byen fò, li di: Leve, kanpe dwat sou de pye ou yo! Nonm lan vole kanpe, epi li pran mache.In a loud voice Paul called out, “Stand up on your feet!” And the man jumped up and began to walk.

11Lè foul moun yo wè sa Pòl te fè a, yo pran rele an likaonyen, lang peyi a: Men bondye yo pran fòm moun, yo desann vin jwenn nou.When the crowds saw what Paul had done, they lifted up their voices in the Lycaonian language: “The gods have come down to us in human form!”

12Yo rele Banabas Zeyis, yo rele Pòl Emès paske se li menm ki t'ap pale.Barnabas they called Zeus, and Paul they called Hermes, because he was the chief speaker.

13Prèt ki sèvi nan tanp Zeyis ki te bò pòtay lavil la mennen kèk towo bèf ak kolye flè devan pòtay la. Ansanm ak pèp la, yo t'ap pare pou yo te fè ofrann bèt pou yo touye bay Pòl ak Banabas.The priest of Zeus, whose temple was just outside the city, brought bulls and wreaths to the city gates, hoping to offer a sacrifice along with the crowds.

14Lè apòt yo tande sa, yo chire rad sou yo, yo kouri nan mitan foul la, yo pale byen fò, yo t'ap di:But when the apostles Barnabas and Paul found out about this, they tore their clothes and rushed into the crowd, shouting,

15Mezanmi, sa n'ap fè konsa? Nou se moun tankou nou tou: nou vin isit la anonse nou yon bon nouvèl: Se pou nou kite tout zidòl sa yo ki pa vo anyen pou n' vire bò kot Bondye ki vivan an. Se li menm ki fè syèl la, tè a, lanmè a ansanm ak tout sa ki ladan yo.“Men, why are you doing this? We too are only men, human like you. We are bringing you good news that you should turn from these worthless things to the living God, who made heaven and earth and sea and everything in them.

16Nan tan lontan, li te kite tout nasyon swiv chemen pa yo.In past generations, He let all nations go their own way.

17Men, li te toujou ap fè yo konnen ki moun li ye, li te fè anpil byen pou yo: li ban nou lapli ki soti nan syèl la ak sezon rekòt. Li ban nou manje an kantite, epi li fè kè nou kontan anpil.Yet He has not left Himself without testimony to His goodness: He gives you rain from heaven and fruitful seasons, filling your hearts with food and gladness.”

18Menm avèk tout pawòl sa yo, se pa t' ti traka anvan apòt yo te resi rive anpeche moun yo fè ofrann bèt yo.Even with these words, Paul and Barnabas could hardly stop the crowds from sacrificing to them.

19Kèk jwif soti Antiòch (ki nan peyi Pisidi) ak Ikoniòm. Yo pran tèt foul la, yo kalonnen Pòl kout wòch pou yo touye li. Apre sa, yo trennen l' mete andeyò lavil la, yo te kwè l' te mouri.Then some Jews arrived from Antioch and Iconium and won over the crowds. They stoned Paul and dragged him outside the city, presuming he was dead.

20Men, lè disip yo vin sanble bò kote l', li leve kanpe, epi l' tounen antre nan lavil la. Nan denmen, li pati avèk Banabas, y' al lavil Dèb.But after the disciples had gathered around him, he got up and went back into the city. And the next day he left with Barnabas for Derbe.

21Pòl ak Banabas anonse bon nouvèl la nan lavil Dèb. Yo te fè anpil disip la. Apre sa, yo tounen, yo pase List, Ikoniòm, Antiòch (ki nan peyi Pisidi).They preached the gospel to that city and made many disciples. Then they returned to Lystra, Iconium, and Antioch,

22Yo t'ap bay disip yo fòs, yo t'ap ankouraje yo pou yo rete fèm nan konfyans yo. Yo t'ap di yo: Nou gen pou nou soufri anpil anvan pou n' antre nan peyi kote Bondye wa a.strengthening the souls of the disciples and encouraging them to continue in the faith. “We must endure many hardships to enter the kingdom of God,” they said.

23Nan chak legliz, yo chwazi kèk chèf fanmi. Yo fè jèn, yo lapriyè. Apre sa, yo renmèt yo nan men Bondye, Seyè ki te gen tout konfyans yo a.Paul and Barnabas appointed elders for them in each church, praying and fasting as they entrusted them to the Lord, in whom they had believed.

24Yo travèse peyi Pisidi, yo rive nan Panfili.After passing through Pisidia, they came to Pamphylia.

25Yo anonse pawòl Bondye a lavil Pèj. Apre sa, yo desann Atali.And when they had spoken the word in Perga, they went down to Attalia.

26Antan yo la, yo pran batiman pou Antiòch. Se la nan menm Antiòch sa a yo te renmèt yo nan men Bondye ki te ba yo favè l' pou yo te al fè tout travay yo sot fè a.From Attalia they sailed to Antioch, where they had been commended to the grace of God for the work they had just completed.

27Lè yo rive Antiòch, yo reyini legliz la, yo rakonte tou sa Bondye te ba yo pouvwa fè pou li, ki jan li te louvri pòt pou moun ki pa jwif yo kapab kwè tou.When they arrived, they gathered the church together and reported all that God had done through them, and how He had opened the door of faith to the Gentiles.

28Apre sa, yo rete lontan avèk disip Antiòch yo.And they spent a long time there with the disciples.
