Acts 4 (HAT) · Opened

1Antan Pyè ak Jan t'ap pale ak pèp la, prèt yo, kòmandan lagad tanp lan ak sadiseyen yo vin rive.While Peter and John were speaking to the people, the priests and the captain of the temple guard and the Sadducees came up to them,

2Yo te fache anpil dèske apòt yo t'ap moutre pèp la anpil bagay, dèske yo t'ap anonse yo moun mouri kapab leve menm jan Jezi te leve soti vivan nan lanmò.greatly disturbed that they were teaching the people and proclaiming in Jesus the resurrection of the dead.

3Yo arete yo, yo mete yo nan prizon pou jouk nan denmen paske solèy te fin kouche.They seized Peter and John, and because it was evening, they put them in custody until the next day.

4Men, anpil moun ki te tande pawòl la te kwè. Lè sa a, te gen senkmil (5.000) moun konsa ki te kwè.But many who heard the message believed, and the number of men grew to about five thousand.

5Nan denmen, chèf jwif yo, chèf fanmi yo ak dirèktè lalwa yo sanble nan Jerizalèm.The next day the rulers, elders, and scribes assembled in Jerusalem,

6Ladan yo te gen: An, granprèt la, Kayif, Jan, Aleksann ansanm ak fanmi granprèt la.along with Annas the high priest, Caiaphas, John, Alexander, and many others from the high priest’s family.

7Yo fè mennen apòt yo devan yo, epi yo mande yo: Kote n' pran pouvwa pou fè bagay sa a? Ki moun ki ban nou dwa fè sa?They had Peter and John brought in and began to question them: “By what power or what name did you do this?”

8Lè sa a, Pyè vin anba pouvwa Sentespri, li di yo: Mesye chèf pèp la ak chèf fanmi yo:Then Peter, filled with the Holy Spirit, said to them, “Rulers and elders of the people!

9Jòdi a y'ap poze nou keksyon sou yon byen nou fè pou yon enfim, y'ap mande nou ki jan nonm sa a fè geri.If we are being examined today about a kind service to a man who was lame, to determine how he was healed,

10Nou tout ki la a ansanm ak tout pèp Izrayèl la, nou fèt pou nou konn sa: si nonm sa a kanpe devan nou tou gaya, se gremesi Jezikri, moun Nazarèt nou te kloure sou kwa a, men ki leve vivan soti nan lanmò ak pouvwa Bondye.then let this be known to all of you and to all the people of Israel: It is by the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, whom you crucified but whom God raised from the dead, that this man stands before you healed.

11Se Jezi menm yo t'ap pale nan pawòl sa a ki ekri nan liv la: Wòch nou te voye jete lè nou t'ap bati a, se li menm ki tounen wòch ki kenbe kay la.This Jesus is ‘the stone you builders rejected, which has become the cornerstone.’

12Se li menm sèl ki ka bay delivrans paske Bondye pa bay non okenn lòt moun sou latè ki kapab delivre nou.Salvation exists in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given to men by which we must be saved.”

13Manm Gran Konsèy yo te sezi anpil lè yo wè ki jan Pyè ak Jan te gen konviksyon nan sa yo t'ap di, paske yo te vin konnen mesye sa yo se moun ki soti nan mas pèp la, ki pa t' resevwa okenn enstriksyon. Chèf yo te rekonèt yo tou pou moun ki te toujou avèk Jezi.When they saw the boldness of Peter and John and realized that they were unschooled, ordinary men, they marveled and took note that these men had been with Jesus.

14Men, yo pa t' jwenn anyen pou reponn yo paske nonm ki te geri a te kanpe la devan je yo bò kot Pyè ak Jan.And seeing the man who had been healed standing there with them, they had nothing to say in response.

15Yo mande apòt yo pou yo soti nan pyès kote Gran Konsèy la te reyini an, epi yo pran diskite bagay la yonn ak lòt.So they ordered them to leave the Sanhedrin and then conferred together.

16Yo t'ap di konsa: Kisa pou n' fè ak mesye sa yo? Paske, tout moun nan Jerizalèm konnen byen pwòp se yo ki te fè gwo mirak sa a. Nou pa ka di se pa vre.“What shall we do with these men?” they asked. “It is clear to everyone living in Jerusalem that a remarkable miracle has occurred through them, and we cannot deny it.

17Men, pou nouvèl la pa gaye plis nan pèp la, n'ap kraponnen yo, n'ap defann yo pale ak pesonn nan non Jezi.But to keep this message from spreading any further among the people, we must warn them not to speak to anyone in this name.”

18Apre sa, yo fè rele apòt yo, yo pase yo lòd pou yo pa janm pale ni moutre pèp la anyen nan non Jezi.Then they called them in again and commanded them not to speak or teach at all in the name of Jesus.

19Men, Pyè ak Jan reponn yo: Jije nou menm kisa ki pi bon devan Bondye: Obeyi nou osinon obeyi Bondye?But Peter and John replied, “Judge for yourselves whether it is right in God’s sight to listen to you rather than God.

20Pou nou menm, nou pa kapab pa pale sa nou wè ak sa nou tande.For we cannot stop speaking about what we have seen and heard.”

21Manm Gran Konsèy yo fè yo menas ankò. Apre sa, yo lage yo. Yo pa t' kapab fè yo anyen paske tout pèp la t'ap fè lwanj Bondye pou sa ki te rive a.After further threats they let them go. They could not find a way to punish them, because all the people were glorifying God for what had happened.

22Nonm ki te geri gremesi mirak apòt yo te fè a te gen karantan pase.For the man who was miraculously healed was over forty years old.

23Lage yo lage yo, Pyè ak Jan al jwenn gwoup zanmi yo, yo rakonte yo tou sa chèf prèt yo ak ansyen yo te di.On their release, Peter and John returned to their own people and reported everything that the chief priests and elders had said to them.

24Lè disip yo tande sa, yo tout mete tèt ansanm pou lapriyè Bondye konsa: O Mèt, se ou menm ki fè syèl la, tè a, lanmè a ak tout sa ki ladan yo.When the believers heard this, they lifted up their voices to God with one accord. “Sovereign Lord,” they said, “You made the heaven and the earth and the sea and everything in them.

25Pa pouvwa Sentespri, se ou menm ki te pale nan bouch sèvitè ou, David, zansèt nou, lè l' te di: Poukisa moun lòt nasyon yo t'ap toumante kò yo konsa? Poukisa pèp yo t'ap fè plan ki p'ap sèvi yo anyen konsa?You spoke by the Holy Spirit through the mouth of Your servant, our father David: ‘Why do the nations rage and the peoples plot in vain?

26Wa latè yo pran pozisyon, chèf yo mete tèt yo ansanm sou do Bondye ak sou do Moun li chwazi a!The kings of the earth take their stand and the rulers gather together against the Lord and against His Anointed One.’

27Se sa menm ki rive nan lavil sa a lè Ewòd ak Pons Pilat mete tèt yo ansanm ak moun lòt nasyon yo ak tout moun pèp Izrayèl la sou do Jezi, sèvitè ki t'ap viv pou ou a, moun ou te chwazi a.In fact, this is the very city where Herod and Pontius Pilate conspired with the Gentiles and the people of Israel against Your holy servant Jesus, whom You anointed.

28Yo fè tou sa ou menm, nan tout pouvwa ou ak pwòp volonte ou, ou te deside davans ki pou te fèt la.They carried out what Your hand and will had decided beforehand would happen.

29Koulye a, Bondye, gade ki jan y'ap fè nou menas. Bay sèvitè ou yo fòs pou yo ka fè konnen mesaj ou a avèk konviksyon.And now, Lord, consider their threats, and enable Your servants to speak Your word with complete boldness,

30Lonje men ou pou yo ka fè gerizon, mirak ak lòt bèl bagay nan non Jezi, sèvitè ki te viv pou ou a.as You stretch out Your hand to heal and perform signs and wonders through the name of Your holy servant Jesus.”

31Lè yo fin lapriyè, kote yo te ye a pran tranble. Yo tout te anba pouvwa Sentespri, epi yo pran anonse pawòl Bondye a avèk konviksyon.After they had prayed, their meeting place was shaken, and they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and spoke the word of God boldly.

32Tout moun ki te kwè yo te fè yon sèl kò, yo te gen menm santiman yonn pou lòt, yo te gen yon sèl lide yonn anvè lòt. Pesonn pa t' di byen li yo te pou tèt pa l' ase, men tou sa yonn te genyen te pou tout moun.The multitude of believers was one in heart and soul. No one claimed that any of his possessions was his own, but they shared everything they owned.

33Se avèk anpil pouvwa apòt yo t'ap bay prèv ki jan Bondye te leve Jezi fè l' soti vivan nan lanmò. Bondye menm te vide benediksyon l' an kantite sou yo tout.With great power the apostles continued to give their testimony about the resurrection of the Lord Jesus. And abundant grace was upon them all.

34Pesonn nan mitan yo pa t' nan nesesite. Sa ki te gen jaden, sa ki te gen kay, yo vann sa, yo pote lajan anThere were no needy ones among them, because those who owned lands or houses would sell their property, bring the proceeds from the sales,

35renmèt apòt yo. Apre sa, yo te separe lajan an bay chak moun dapre nesesite yo.and lay them at the apostles’ feet for distribution to anyone as he had need.

36Se konsa, te gen yon nonm yo rele Jozèf, yon moun Levi ki soti lil Chip. Apòt yo te ba l' yon ti non Banabas, ki te vle di: Nonm k'ap ankouraje a.Joseph, a Levite from Cyprus, whom the apostles called Barnabas (meaning Son of Encouragement),

37Enben, li vann yon jaden li te genyen, li pote lajan an renmèt apòt yo.sold a field he owned, brought the money, and laid it at the apostles’ feet.
