Acts 15 (HAT) · Opened

1Kèk mesye soti nan peyi Jide rive lavil Antiòch. Yo t'ap moutre frè yo yon bann bagay, yo t'ap di: Bondye p'ap kapab delivre nou si yo pa sikonsi nou, jan lalwa Moyiz mande l' la.Then some men came down from Judea and were teaching the brothers, “Unless you are circumcised according to the custom of Moses, you cannot be saved.”

2Pòl ak Banabas pa t' dakò menm ak moun sa yo. Sa te fè yon gwo diskisyon. Se konsa, frè yo deside voye Pòl, Banabas ansanm ak kèk lòt moun Antiòch moute Jerizalèm pou regle keksyon sa a ak apòt yo ansanm ak chèf fanmi yo.And after engaging these men in sharp debate, Paul and Barnabas were appointed, along with some other believers, to go up to Jerusalem to see the apostles and elders about this question.

3Se legliz la ki te voye yo fè vwayaj sa a. Yo pase nan Finisi ak nan Samari. Sou tout wout la, yo t'ap rakonte ki jan moun ki pa jwif yo te tounen vin jwenn Bondye. Tout frè yo te kontan anpil lè yo tande sa.Sent on their way by the church, they passed through Phoenicia and Samaria, recounting the conversion of the Gentiles and bringing great joy to all the brothers.

4Lè yo rive Jerizalèm, tout legliz la, apòt yo ak chèf fanmi yo te byen resevwa yo. Pòl ak Banabas rakonte moun Jerizalèm yo tou sa Bondye te ba yo pouvwa fè pou li.On their arrival in Jerusalem, they were welcomed by the church and apostles and elders, to whom they reported all that God had done through them.

5Se lè sa a kèk disip, ansyen patizan farizyen yo, kanpe, yo di: Se pou n' sikonsi moun lòt nasyon yo tou. Se pou n' mande yo pou yo obeyi lalwa Moyiz la tou.But some believers from the party of the Pharisees stood up and declared, “The Gentiles must be circumcised and required to obey the law of Moses.”

6Apòt yo ak chèf fanmi yo sanble pou egzaminen keksyon an.So the apostles and elders met to look into this matter.

7Lè yo fin diskite kont yo, Pyè kanpe, li di yo: Frè m' yo, nou konnen ki jan, depi lontan, Bondye te chwazi m' nan nou tout pou m' anonse bon nouvèl la bay moun lòt nasyon yo, pou yo menm tou, yo ka tande l' pou yo rive kwè nan Bondye.After much discussion, Peter got up and said to them, “Brothers, you know that in the early days God made a choice among you that the Gentiles would hear from my lips the message of the gospel and believe.

8Enben, Bondye ki konnen sa ki nan kè moun, li moutre nou ki jan li menm li asepte yo: li ba yo Sentespri menm jan li te fè l' pou nou an.And God, who knows the heart, showed His approval by giving the Holy Spirit to them, just as He did to us.

9Li pa t' fè okenn diferans ant yo menm ak nou menm: nou wè li lave kè yo paske yo te kwè nan li.He made no distinction between us and them, for He cleansed their hearts by faith.

10Koulye a, poukisa pou n'ap seye fè plan ak Bondye konsa, lè nou vle fè disip yo pote yon chay ni zansèt nou ni nou menm nou pa t' ka pote?Now then, why do you test God by placing on the necks of the disciples a yoke that neither we nor our fathers have been able to bear?

11Okontrè, nou kwè se yon favè Jezikri fè nou lè l' delivre nou, menm jan li fè l' pou yo tou.On the contrary, we believe it is through the grace of the Lord Jesus that we are saved, just as they are.”

12Apre sa, tout moun pe bouch yo, yo t'ap koute Banabas ak Pòl ki t'ap rakonte tout bèl bagay ak tout mirak Bondye te ba yo pouvwa fè pou li nan mitan moun lòt nasyon yo.The whole assembly fell silent as they listened to Barnabas and Paul describing the signs and wonders God had done among the Gentiles through them.

13Lè yo fin pale, Jak pran lapawòl, li di: Frè m' yo, koute mwen.When they had finished speaking, James declared, “Brothers, listen to me!

14Simon fèk esplike nou ki jan, depi nan konmansman, Bondye te pran swen moun lòt nasyon yo pou l' te ka chwazi nan mitan yo yon pèp ki pou pote non li.Simon has told us how God first visited the Gentiles to take from them a people to be His own.

15Sou pwen sa a, pawòl pwofèt yo dakò nèt. Men sa ki ekri nan Liv la:The words of the prophets agree with this, as it is written:

16Apre sa, m'a retounen. Se Bondye k'ap pale. M'a rebati kay David la ki te fin tonbe, m'a repare mazi li yo, m'a kanpe kay li a ankò.‘After this I will return and rebuild the fallen tent of David. Its ruins I will rebuild, and I will restore it,

17Konsa, tout lòt moun yo va chache Bondye, ansanm ak tout nasyon mwen chwazi pou pote non mwen.so that the remnant of men may seek the Lord, and all the Gentiles who are called by My name, says the Lord who does these things

18Men sa Bondye di. Se li menm ki fè nou konnen bagay sa yo depi lontan.that have been known for ages.’

19Se poutèt sa, mwen menm, Jak, mwen kwè nou pa dwe antrave moun lòt nasyon yo ki vin jwenn Bondye.It is my judgment, therefore, that we should not cause trouble for the Gentiles who are turning to God.

20Men, ann ekri yo, ann mande yo pou yo pa manje vyann bèt yo te ofri pou touye pou zidòl, pou yo egzante tout dezòd lachè, pou yo pa manje ni vyann bèt ki mouri toufe, ni san.Instead, we should write and tell them to abstain from food polluted by idols, from sexual immorality, from the meat of strangled animals, and from blood.

21Paske, depi lontan lontan, y'ap fè konnen lalwa Moyiz la nan tout lavil yo. Se chak jou repo y'ap li l' pou yo nan sinagòg yo.For Moses has been proclaimed in every city from ancient times and is read in the synagogues on every Sabbath.”

22Lè sa a, apòt yo, chèf fanmi yo ansanm ak tout legliz la deside pou yo chwazi kèk moun pami yo ki pou vwayaje al Antiòch ansanm ak Pòl ak Banabas. Yo chwazi Jid, ki te rele Basabas, ak Silas, de moun frè yo te respekte anpil.Then the apostles and elders, with the whole church, decided to select men from among them to send to Antioch with Paul and Barnabas. They chose Judas called Barsabbas and Silas, two leaders among the brothers,

23Yo te ba yo lèt sa a pote ale: Apòt yo ak chèf fanmi yo, ki frè nou, voye bonjou pou tout frè nan moun lòt nasyon yo k'ap viv nan lavil Antiòch, nan peyi Siri ak nan peyi Silisi.and sent them with this letter: The apostles and the elders, your brothers, To the brothers among the Gentiles in Antioch, Syria, and Cilicia: Greetings.

24Nou te vin konnen te gen moun ki soti bò isit la al lakay nou. Yo pa t' manke boulvèse nou, yo pa t' manke fatige nou ak pawòl yo t'ap di. Men, nou menm nou pa t' ba yo okenn lòd konsa.It has come to our attention that some went out from us without our authorization and unsettled you, troubling your minds by what they said.

25Se poutèt sa, nou tout ki isit la, nou tonbe dakò pou nou chwazi kèk delege n'ap voye bò kote nou. Y'ap vwayaje ansanm ak Pòl ak Banabas, de frè nou renmen anpil,So we all agreed to choose men to send to you along with our beloved Barnabas and Paul,

26ki te riske lavi yo pou non Jezikri, Seyè nou an.men who have risked their lives for the name of our Lord Jesus Christ.

27Se konsa, nou voye Jid ak Silas ki va ban nou menm mesaj la ak pwòp bouch yo.Therefore we are sending Judas and Silas to tell you in person the same things we are writing.

28Pou Sentespri a ak pou nou menm, men sa nou jwenn ki bon pou di nan keksyon sa a: Nou p'ap mete lòt chay sou zepòl nou pase sa n' dwe mete.It seemed good to the Holy Spirit and to us not to burden you with anything beyond these essential requirements:

29Pa manje vyann bèt ki te ofri pou zidòl, pa manje san, pa manje vyann bèt ki mouri toufe, egzante tout dezòd lachè. N'a fè byen si nou pa fè bagay sa yo. Bondye ak nou!You must abstain from food sacrificed to idols, from blood, from the meat of strangled animals, and from sexual immorality. You will do well to avoid these things. Farewell.

30Apre sa, moun legliz Jerizalèm yo kite delege yo ale. Delege yo pati pou Antiòch. Lè yo rive, yo sanble tout moun ki te kwè yo, yo renmèt yo lèt la.So the men were sent off and went down to Antioch, where they assembled the congregation and delivered the letter.

31Lè yo fin li lèt la pou yo, tout moun te kontan pou bèl ankourajman lèt la te pote ba yo.When the people read it, they rejoiced at its encouraging message.

32Jid ak Silas te de pwofèt. Yo pale lontan avèk frè yo, yo ba yo kont ankourajman ak fòs.Judas and Silas, who themselves were prophets, said much to encourage and strengthen the brothers.

33Yo pase kèk tan nan lavil Antiòch. Apre sa, frè yo swate yo bòn vwayaj ak kè poze. Yo menm, yo tounen ale jwenn moun ki te voye yo.After spending some time there, they were sent off by the brothers in peace to return to those who had sent them.

34Men, Silas te pran desizyon pou l' te rete.Not in the BSB

35Pòl ak Banabas pase kèk tan nan Antiòch. Ansanm ak anpil lòt frè, yo t'ap moutre moun yo anpil bagay, yo t'ap fè yo konnen pawòl Seyè a.But Paul and Barnabas remained at Antioch, along with many others, teaching and preaching the word of the Lord.

36Kèk tan apre, Pòl di Banabas konsa: Ann al vizite frè yo ki nan tout lavil kote nou te anonse Pawòl Seyè a. Ann al wè ki jan yo ye.Some time later Paul said to Barnabas, “Let us go back and visit the brothers in every town where we proclaimed the word of the Lord, to see how they are doing.”

37Banabas te vle mennen Jan ki te gen ti non Mak la avèk yo.Barnabas wanted to take John, also called Mark.

38Men, Pòl pa t' kwè se te yon bon lide pou yo te mennen l', paske, dènye fwa a, li te pati kite yo nan Panfili, li pa t' rete nèt ak yo jouk vwayaj la te fini.But Paul thought it best not to take him, because he had deserted them in Pamphylia and had not accompanied them in the work.

39Lè sa a, yon diskisyon byen cho leve ant Pòl ak Banabas, tèlman yo separe yonn ak lòt. Banabas pran Mak avèk li, yo pran yon batiman, y' ale lil Chip.Their disagreement was so sharp that they parted company. Barnabas took Mark and sailed for Cyprus,

40Pòl menm chwazi Silas. Apre frè yo fin renmèt li nan men Bondye k'ap ba l' favè l', li pati.but Paul chose Silas and left, commended by the brothers to the grace of the Lord.

41Li pase nan peyi Siri ak peyi Silisi; sou tout wout la li t'ap fòtifye legliz yo nan konfyans yo nan Bondye.And he traveled through Syria and Cilicia, strengthening the churches.
