Acts 2 (HAT) · Opened

1Lè jou Lapannkòt la rive, yo tout te reyini ansanm menm kote a.When the day of Pentecost came, they were all together in one place.

2Yo rete konsa, epi yon sèl bri sot nan syèl la tankou yon gwo van k'ap soufle; li plen tout kay kote yo te chita a.Suddenly a sound like a mighty rushing wind came from heaven and filled the whole house where they were sitting.

3Lè sa a, yo wè yon bann lang parèt tankou ti flanm dife ki separe yonn ak lòt epi ki al poze grenn pa grenn sou tèt yo chak.They saw tongues like flames of fire that separated and came to rest on each of them.

4Yo tout te vin anba pouvwa Sentespri, epi yo pran pale lòt lang dapre jan Lespri Bondye a t'ap fè yo pale.And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak in other tongues as the Spirit enabled them.

5Lè sa a, te gen yon bann jwif ki t'ap pase kèk jou lavil Jerizalèm. Se te moun devwe pou Bondye ki te soti nan tout peyi sou latè.Now there were dwelling in Jerusalem God-fearing Jews from every nation under heaven.

6Lè yo tande bri a, yon kantite ladan yo sanble. Yo tout te sezi anpil paske yo t'ap tande moun yo pale nan lang peyi yo chak.And when this sound rang out, a crowd came together in bewilderment, because each one heard them speaking his own language.

7Yo pa t' manke sezi. Yo t'ap gade, yo t'ap di: Moun sa yo k'ap pale la a, apa moun Galile yo tout ye?Astounded and amazed, they asked, “Are not all these who are speaking Galileans?

8Ki jan nou fè tande y'ap pale nan lang peyi nou?How is it then that each of us hears them in his own native language?

9Nan nou la a gen moun Pat, moun Medi ak moun Elam, gen moun Mezopotami, moun Jide, moun Kapadòs, moun Pon ak moun Lazi.Parthians, Medes, and Elamites; residents of Mesopotamia, Judea and Cappadocia, Pontus and Asia,

10Gen moun Friji, moun Panfili, moun Lejip, moun teritwa Libi ki toupre Sirèn. Genyen ki soti lavil Wòm.Phrygia and Pamphylia, Egypt and the parts of Libya near Cyrene; visitors from Rome,

11Nan nou gen jwif, gen moun lòt nasyon ki te konvèti nan relijyon jwif yo, gen moun ki soti Lakrèt, gen moun Arabi tou. Ki jan nou fè tande yo ap pale lang nou, y'ap rakonte bèl bagay Bondye te fè?both Jews and converts to Judaism; Cretans and Arabs—we hear them declaring the wonders of God in our own tongues!”

12Yo tout te sezi, yo pa t' konn sa pou yo te kwè. Yonn t'ap di lòt: Sa sa vle di?Astounded and perplexed, they asked one another, “What does this mean?”

13Gen lòt moun menm ki t'ap pase yo nan rizib. Yo t'ap di: Moun sa yo sou.But others mocked them and said, “They are drunk on new wine!”

14Lè sa a, Pyè kanpe ansanm ak lòt onz apòt yo, li pale byen fò, li di foul moun yo konsa: Nou menm moun Jide ansanm ak nou tout k'ap pase kèk jou isit lavil Jerizalèm, nou fèt pou nou konnen sa. Koute sa m' pral di nou la a.Then Peter stood up with the Eleven, lifted up his voice, and addressed the crowd: “Men of Judea and all who dwell in Jerusalem, let this be known to you, and listen carefully to my words.

15Moun sa yo pa sou jan nou kwè a. Se nevè dimaten li ye sèlman.These men are not drunk, as you suppose. It is only the third hour of the day!

16Men, sa pwofèt Joèl te fè konnen gen pou rive a, se sa k'ap pase koulye a:No, this is what was spoken by the prophet Joel:

17Men sak pral rive nan dènye tan an: Se Bondye menm k'ap pale: M'ap vide Lespri m' sou tout moun sou latè. Pitit gason nou ak pitit fi nou yo va pale tankou pwofèt. Jenn gason nou yo va gen vizyon. Granmoun nou yo va fè rèv.‘In the last days, God says, I will pour out My Spirit on all people. Your sons and daughters will prophesy, your young men will see visions, your old men will dream dreams.

18Wi, lè sa a, m'ap vide Lespri m' sou tout sèvitè m' yo, fi kou gason, epi y'a bay mesaj ki soti nan Bondye.Even on My menservants and maidservants I will pour out My Spirit in those days, and they will prophesy.

19Mwen pral fè mèvèy parèt anwo nan syèl la, mwen pral fè mirak anba sou latè! Va gen san, dife ak gwo nwaj lafimen.I will show wonders in the heavens above and signs on the earth below, blood and fire and billows of smoke.

20Solèy la pral vin tou nwa. Lalin lan pral vin wouj kou san, anvan jou Mèt la rive. Se va yon gwo jou, yon bèl jou tou!The sun will be turned to darkness, and the moon to blood, before the coming of the great and glorious Day of the Lord.

21Lè sa a nenpòt moun ki va rele non Bondye va delivre.And everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.’

22Nou menm moun laras Izrayèl, koute sa m' pral di nou la a: Jezi, moun Nazarèt la, se Bondye menm ki te voye l' paske nou te wè tout mirak, tout bèl bagay ak tout siy Bondye te ba l' pouvwa fè nan mitan nou. Sa se bagay nou tout konnen.Men of Israel, listen to this message: Jesus of Nazareth was a man certified by God to you by miracles, wonders, and signs, which God did among you through Him, as you yourselves know.

23Yo te lage nonm sa a nan men nou, jan Bondye te vle l' la, dapre plan li te deja fè nan tèt li. Nou menm, nou fè touye l', nou fè yon bann mechan kloure l' sou yon kwa.He was delivered up by God’s set plan and foreknowledge, and you, by the hands of the lawless, put Him to death by nailing Him to the cross.

24Men, Bondye fè l' leve vivan ankò, li delivre l' anba doulè lanmò a paske se pa t' posib pou lanmò te kenbe l' anba pouvwa li.But God raised Him from the dead, releasing Him from the agony of death, because it was impossible for death to keep Him in its grip.

25Men sa David te ekri sou li: Mwen te wè Bondye, Mèt la, tout tan devan je mwen. Paske li toujou bò kote m'. Anyen pa ka brannen m'.David says about Him: ‘I saw the Lord always before me; because He is at my right hand, I will not be shaken.

26Se poutèt sa kè m' kontan anpil, se pawòl kontantman ase ki nan bouch mwen. Menm kò mwen, m'ap poze l' avèk espwa nan Bondye.Therefore my heart is glad and my tongue rejoices; my body also will dwell in hope,

27Paske, ou p'ap kite m' kote mò yo ye a. Ou p'ap pèmèt moun k'ap sèvi ou la pouri anba tè.because You will not abandon my soul to Hades, nor will You let Your Holy One see decay.

28Ou fè m' konnen tout chemen ki bay lavi a. M'ap kontan nèt paske ou toujou la avèk mwen.You have made known to me the paths of life; You will fill me with joy in Your presence.’

29Frè m' yo, pèmèt mwen pale kareman ak nou. David, zansèt nou an, mouri, yo antere l'. Tonm li la nan mitan nou jouk jòdi a.Brothers, I can tell you with confidence that the patriarch David died and was buried, and his tomb is with us to this day.

30Men, David te yon pwofèt, li te konnen sa Bondye te pwomèt la. Bondye te sèmante li t'ap fè yonn nan pitit li yo wa tankou li.But he was a prophet and knew that God had promised him on oath that He would place one of his descendants on his throne.

31David te wè sa Bondye tapral fè a. Se konsa li te di Kris la te gen pou l' leve soti vivan nan lanmò lè l' di: Yo p'ap kite l' kote mò yo ye a. Kò li p'ap tounen pouriti.Foreseeing this, David spoke about the resurrection of the Christ, that He was not abandoned to Hades, nor did His body see decay.

32Bondye fè Jezi sa a leve soti vivan; nou tout nou temwen bagay sa a.God has raised this Jesus to life, to which we are all witnesses.

33Bondye fè l' moute nan syèl la vin sou bò dwat li, li resevwa Sentespri Papa a te pwomèt la, li vide l' sou nou. Enben, se sa n'ap wè, se sa n'ap tande koulye a.Exalted, then, to the right hand of God, He has received from the Father the promised Holy Spirit and has poured out what you now see and hear.

34Se pa David ki te moute nan syèl la. Men, li te di: Bondye te di Seyè mwen an: Chita la sou bò dwat mwen,For David did not ascend into heaven, but he himself says: ‘The Lord said to my Lord, “Sit at My right hand

35jouk tan mwen fè lènmi ou yo tounen yon ti ban pou lonje pye ou.until I make Your enemies a footstool for Your feet.”’

36Tout pèp Izrayèl la fèt pou konnen sa byen: Jezi, nonm nou te kloure sou kwa a, se li menm Bondye fè Seyè, se li menm Bondye fè Kris la.Therefore let all Israel know with certainty that God has made this Jesus, whom you crucified, both Lord and Christ!”

37Lè pèp la tande pawòl sa yo, yo santi kè yo boulvèse. Yo mande Pyè ansanm ak lòt apòt yo: Frè nou yo, kisa pou nou fè?When the people heard this, they were cut to the heart and asked Peter and the other apostles, “Brothers, what shall we do?”

38Pyè reponn yo: Tounen vin jwenn Bondye, epi yonn apre lòt vin resevwa batèm nan non Jezikri, pou Bondye padonnen tout peche nou yo. Apre sa, n'a resevwa Sentespri, kado Bondye a.Peter replied, “Repent and be baptized, every one of you, in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins, and you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.

39Paske pwomès la, Bondye fè l' pou nou, pou pitit nou yo, pou tout moun ki byen lwen, pou tout moun Bondye, Mèt nou, va rele vin jwenn li.This promise belongs to you and your children and to all who are far off—to all whom the Lord our God will call to Himself.”

40Pyè t'ap di yo anpil lòt pawòl ankò pou l' te fè yo kwè, pou l' te ankouraje yo. Li t'ap di yo konsa: Sove tèt nou. Wete kò nou nan mitan moun pèvèti sa yo.With many other words he testified, and he urged them, “Be saved from this corrupt generation.”

41Anpil ladan yo te kwè sa Pyè t'ap di a, yo te resevwa batèm. Jou sa a, te gen twamil (3.000) moun konsa ki te mete tèt yo ansanm ak disip yo.Those who embraced his message were baptized, and about three thousand were added to the believers that day.

42Yo pase tout tan yo ap koute sa apòt yo t'ap moutre yo, yo t'ap viv ansanm tankou frè yonn ak lòt, yo reyini pou separe pen an bay tout moun, epi yo t'ap lapriyè.They devoted themselves to the apostles’ teaching and to the fellowship, to the breaking of bread and to prayer.

43Tout moun te gen krentif devan kantite mirak ak bèl bagay apòt yo t'ap fè.A sense of awe came over everyone, and the apostles performed many wonders and signs.

44Tout moun ki te kwè yo t'ap viv ansanm yonn ak lòt. Yo te mete tou sa yo te genyen ansanm.All the believers were together and had everything in common.

45Yo vann tè yo ak tout byen yo, yo separe lajan an pami yo tout, dapre nesesite chak moun.Selling their possessions and goods, they shared with anyone who was in need.

46Toulejou, yo tout reyini ansanm nan tanp lan; yo te konn separe pen an bay tout moun nan kay yo, yo te manje ansanm avèk kè kontan san okenn pretansyon.With one accord they continued to meet daily in the temple courts and to break bread from house to house, sharing their meals with gladness and sincerity of heart,

47Yo t'ap fè lwanj Bondye. Tout moun te renmen yo. Chak jou Bondye t'ap mete lòt moun li t'ap delivre yo nan gwoup la.praising God and enjoying the favor of all the people. And the Lord added to their number daily those who were being saved.
