Acts 28
1 When we had escaped, then they learned that the island was called Malta.
Lè yo tout te fin rive sof nou te vin twouve ke lil la te rele Malte.
2 The natives showed us uncommon kindness; for they kindled a fire and received us all, because of the present rain and because of the cold.
Natif peyi yo te byen resevwa nou ak yon dousè ekstrawòdinè. Akoz lapli a ki te vin fèmen sou nou, avèk anpil fredi, yo te limen yon dife e te resevwa nou tout.
3 But when Paul had gathered a bundle of sticks and laid them on the fire, a viper came out because of the heat and fastened on his hand.
Men lè Paul te ranmase yon pakèt bwa e te mete yo sou dife a, yon vipè te sòti akoz chalè a e te tache nan men l.
4 When the natives saw the creature hanging from his hand, they said to one another, “No doubt this man is a murderer, whom, though he has escaped from the sea, yet Justice has not allowed to live.”
Lè natif yo te wè bèt la k ap pann soti nan men li, yo te kòmanse di youn ak lòt: “San dout mesye sa a se yon asasen, epi malgre li sove soti nan lanmè a, jistis p ap kite li viv.”
5 However he shook off the creature into the fire, and wasn’t harmed.
Konsa, li te souke retire bèt la jete nan dife a, men l pa t gen anyen.
6 But they expected that he would have swollen or fallen down dead suddenly, but when they watched for a long time and saw nothing bad happen to him, they changed their minds and said that he was a god.
Men yo t ap atann ke li vin anfle e sibitman tonbe mouri. Men apre yo te tann pandan anpil tan e pa t wè anyen rive li, yo te reflechi yon lòt jan e te kòmanse di ke li te yon dye.
7 Now in the neighborhood of that place were lands belonging to the chief man of the island, named Publius, who received us and courteously entertained us for three days.
Alò, toupre kote sila a, te gen tè ki te pou mesye pi enpòtan nan lil la, ke yo te rele Publius, ki te bannou byenveni. Li te byen emab e li te bay nou lojman pandan twa jou.
8 The father of Publius lay sick of fever and dysentery. Paul entered in to him, prayed, and laying his hands on him, healed him.
Li te vin rive ke papa a Publius te kouche byen malad avèk lafyèv ak dyare. Paul te ale wè li e lè li te fin priye pou li, li te poze men l sou li e te geri li.
9 Then when this was done, the rest also who had diseases in the island came and were cured.
Aprè sa te fin fèt, tout lòt moun sou lil la ki te gen maladi t ap vin kote li e t ap geri.
10 They also honored us with many honors; and when we sailed, they put on board the things that we needed.
Anplis, yo te onore nou avèk anpil mak respè, e lè nou t ap pran vwal, yo te founi nou tout sa nou te bezwen.
11 After three months, we set sail in a ship of Alexandria which had wintered in the island, whose figurehead was “The Twin Brothers.”
Nan fen twa mwa yo nou te pran vwal sou yon bato Alexandryen ki osi te pase sezon livè a nan lil la. Li te gen Frè Jimo yo kon òneman devan an kòm tèt bato a.
12 Touching at Syracuse, we stayed there three days.
Apre nou te antre o pò nan Syracuse, nou te rete la pandan twa jou.
13 From there we circled around and arrived at Rhegium. After one day, a south wind sprang up, and on the second day we came to Puteoli,
Soti la, nou te pran vwal pou antoure rive nan Reggio. Yon jou pita, yon van sid te parèt, e nan dezyèm jou a nou te rive Pouzzles.
14 where we found brothers, and were entreated to stay with them for seven days. So we came to Rome.
La nou te twouve kèk frè ki te envite nou rete avèk yo pandan sèt jou, e konsa nou te rive Rome.
15 From there the brothers, when they heard of us, came to meet us as far as The Market of Appius and The Three Taverns. When Paul saw them, he thanked God and took courage.
Epi frè fidèl yo, lè yo te tande de nou, te vini la soti nan distans pou rive nan Mache Appuis la avèk Twa Tavernes pou rankontre nou. Lè Paul te wè yo, li te remèsye Bondye e te pran kouraj.
16 When we entered into Rome, the centurion delivered the prisoners to the captain of the guard, but Paul was allowed to stay by himself with the soldier who guarded him.
Lè nou te antre Rome, Paul te jwenn pèmisyon pou rete pou kont li, avèk sòlda ki t ap veye l la.
17 After three days Paul called together those who were the leaders of the Jews. When they had come together, he said to them, “I, brothers, though I had done nothing against the people or the customs of our fathers, still was delivered prisoner from Jerusalem into the hands of the Romans,
Apre twa jou Paul te rele ansanm moun ki te pi enpòtan pami mesye Jwif yo. Lè yo te vin ansanm, li te kòmanse ap di yo: “Frè yo malgre mwen pa t fè anyen kont pèp nou an, oubyen koutim zansèt nou yo, konsa, mwen te livre kòm prizonye soti Jérusalem nan men Women yo.
18 who, when they had examined me, desired to set me free, because there was no cause of death in me.
Epi lè yo menm te egzamine mwen, yo te dakò pou lage m paske yo pa t twouve baz pou mete m a lanmò.
19 But when the Jews spoke against it, I was constrained to appeal to Caesar, not that I had anything about which to accuse my nation.
Men lè Jwif yo te vin pa dakò, mwen te oblije fè apèl a César, pa akoz ke m te gen okenn akizasyon kont nasyon mwen an.
20 For this cause therefore I asked to see you and to speak with you. For because of the hope of Israel I am bound with this chain.”
Pou rezon sa a, donk mwen te mande wè nou pou pale avèk nou, paske mwen ap pote chenn sa a pou lespwa Israël la.”
21 They said to him, “We neither received letters from Judea concerning you, nor did any of the brothers come here and report or speak any evil of you.
Yo te di li: “Nou pa t ni resevwa lèt sòti Judée konsènan ou, ni pa t gen okenn nan frè yo ki te vin isit la pou rapòte oswa pale anyen mal de ou menm.
22 But we desire to hear from you what you think. For, as concerning this sect, it is known to us that everywhere it is spoken against.”
Men nou dezire tande de ou menm sa ke ou panse. Paske konsènan sèkt sa a, se byen koni pami nou menm ke yo pale kont li toupatou.”
23 When they had appointed him a day, many people came to him at his lodging. He explained to them, testifying about God’s Kingdom, and persuading them concerning Jesus, both from the law of Moses and from the prophets, from morning until evening.
Lè yo te fikse yon jou pou Paul, yo te vini kote lojman li an an gran nonb. Li t ap eksplike yo nan temwayaj klè e konplè de wayòm Bondye a ak nan eseye fè yo kwè konsènan Jésus, soti nan Lalwa Moïse la ak nan pwofèt yo depi granmmaten jis rive nan aswè.
24 Some believed the things which were spoken, and some disbelieved.
Kèk te vin kwè akoz bagay ki te pale yo, men lòt yo te refize kwè.
25 When they didn’t agree among themselves, they departed after Paul had spoken one message: “The Holy Spirit spoke rightly through Isaiah the prophet to our fathers,
Lè yo pa t dakò youn avèk lòt, yo te kòmanse pati lè Paul te fin pale dènye pawòl sila a: “Lespri Sen an te gen rezon lè l te pale atravè Ésaïe, pwofèt a zansèt nou yo,
26 saying, ‘Go to this people and say, in hearing, you will hear, but will in no way understand. In seeing, you will see, but will in no way perceive.
Lè l te di: ‘Ale nan pèp sa epi di: “Nou va toujou tande, men nou p ap konprann. Nou va toujou gade, men nou p ap wè anyen.
27 For this people’s heart has grown callous. Their ears are dull of hearing. Their eyes they have closed. Lest they should see with their eyes, hear with their ears, understand with their heart, and would turn again, then I would heal them.’
Paske kè a moun sa yo vin di. Zòrèy pa yo, yo manke tande. E yo fèmen zye yo; otreman pou yo ta wè avèk zye yo, tande avèk zòrèy yo, konprann avèk kè yo, e retounen, pou Mwen ta geri yo.’
28 “Be it known therefore to you that the salvation of God is sent to the nations, and they will listen.”
“Konsa, Kite l byen konnen a nou menm, ke delivrans sila gen tan voye osi a pèp etranje yo. Yo menm va koute.”
29 When he had said these words, the Jews departed, having a great dispute among themselves.
Lè li te fin pale pawòl sa yo, Jwif yo te pati, e yo t ap diskite pami yo menm.
30 Paul stayed two whole years in his own rented house and received all who were coming to him,
Konsa, Paul te rete la pandan dezan nan pwòp chanm li ke li te lwe a. Li te trè kontan resevwa tout sila ki te vin wè li yo.
31 preaching God’s Kingdom and teaching the things concerning the Lord Jesus Christ with all boldness, without hindrance.
Li t ap preche wayòm Bondye a, e t ap enstwi konsènan Senyè a Jésus Kri, avèk tout libète, san anpèchman.
