11 ¶ Apòt yo ansanm ak frè yo ki te nan Jide te tande ki jan moun ki pa jwif yo te resevwa pawòl Bondye a tou.

Lè Pyè tounen moute Jerizalèm, jwif ki te kwè yo tanmen kritike li.

Yo di l' konsa: Apa ou antre lakay moun ki pa sikonsi, ou manje ak yo?

Lè sa a, Pyè rakonte yo sak te pase nan tout ti detay. Li di yo:

Mwen te lavil Jope, mwen t'ap lapriyè, lè m' fè yon vizyon. Mwen wè yon bagay ki t'ap desann vin jwenn mwen, tankou yon gwo dra mare nan kat bout, ki t'ap desann sot nan syèl la. Li rive toupre mwen.

Lè m' gade byen gade, mwen wè tout kalite bèt andedan li: bèt kat pat, bèt nan bwa, bèt ki trennen sou vant ak zwezo.

Epi m' tande yon vwa ki di m' konsa: Leve non, Pyè, touye, manje.

Men mwen di: Non, Mèt. Mwen pa janm mete move manje osinon manje ki pa bon pou moun k'ap sèvi Bondye nan bouch mwen.

Menm vwa a pale ankò nan syèl la, li di mwen konsa: Bagay Bondye di ki bon pou moun k'ap sèvi l', pa di l' pa bon pou yo.

10 An twa fwa sa repete. Epi bagay la moute tounen nan syèl la.

11 Menm lè a, twa moun ki te soti Sezare vin rive nan kay kote m' te ye a. Yo te voye yo chache mwen.

12 Lespri a di m' pati ak yo san rete ap kalkile. Sis frè sa yo te al ansanm avè m' tou Sezare. Nou tout nou antre lakay Kònèy.

13 Kònèy rakonte nou ki jan l' te wè yon zanj Bondye kanpe nan mitan lakay li. Zanj lan di li: Voye yon moun lavil Jope al rele Simon (ki gen yon ti non Pyè).

14 Simon sa a va di ou pawòl ki pou sove ou ansanm ak tout fanmi ou.

15 Mwen te kòmanse pale lè Sentespri a desann sou yo menm jan li te desann sou nou premye jou a.

16 Lè sa a, mwen vin chonje sa Seyè a te di: Jan te batize nan dlo, men nou menm nou gen pou n' resevwa batèm nan Sentespri a.

17 Konsa, Bondye te bay moun sa yo menm kado li te ban nou an lè n' te mete konfyans nou nan Seyè Jezikri. Kisa m' te ye menm pou m' te fè tèt ak Bondye?

18 Lè yo fin tande pawòl sa yo, yo sispann kritike l', yo pran fè lwanj Bondye. Yo t'ap di: Se vre wi. Bondye bay moun ki pa jwif yo chans pou yo chanje, pou yo ka resevwa lavi tou.

19 ¶ Avèk pèsekisyon ki te tonbe sou yo apre lanmò Etyèn lan, disip yo te gaye. Genyen ki te al jouk nan peyi Finisi, nan lil Chip, ak lavil Antiòch. Men, yo t'ap anonse pawòl la bay jwif yo sèlman.

20 Lè sa a, kèk disip ki te moun Chip ak moun Sirèn al lavil Antiòch. Antan yo la a, yo pale ak moun Lagrès yo; yo fè yo konnen bon nouvèl ki pale sou Jezi Seyè a.

21 Pouvwa Bondye te avèk yo; anpil nan moun Lagrès yo rive kwè, yo te tounen vin jwenn Bondye.

22 Legliz Jerizalèm lan vin aprann nouvèl la. Li voye Banabas lavil Antiòch.

23 Lè Banabas rive, li wè ki jan Bondye t'ap beni disip yo. Li pa t' manke kontan, li t'ap ankouraje yo pou yo tout te kenbe fèm ak tout kè yo nan sèvis Seyè a san dekouraje.

24 Banabas sa a te yon bon gason. Li te gen anpil konfyans nan Bondye, epi Sentespri te kenbe l' anba pouvwa l' tout tan. Anpil moun te vin kwè nan Seyè a.

25 Apre sa, Banabas ale lavil Tas, li al chache Sòl.

26 Lè l' jwenn li, li mennen l' lavil Antiòch. Yo pase yon lanne ansanm ap fè reyinyon ak legliz la. Yo t'ap moutre anpil moun sa pou yo fè. Se nan lavil Antiòch sa a premyè fwa yo te rele disip yo kretyen.

27 ¶ Lè sa a, kèk pwofèt soti Jerizalèm rive Antiòch.

28 Yonn ladan yo, ki te rele Agabis, leve epi avèk pouvwa Sentespri, li fè konnen tapral gen yon gwo grangou sou tout latè. (Grangou sa a te rive vre sou reny wa Klòd.)

29 Disip yo deside pou chak moun bay sa yo kapab pou yo voye ede frè yo ki te nan peyi Jide.

30 Se sa menm yo te fè. Apre sa, yo voye Banabas ak Sòl pote sa yo te ranmase a bay chèf fanmi yo ki te nan Jide.

彼得的解释

11 使徒和犹太全境的弟兄姊妹都听说外族人接受了上帝的道。 彼得一回到耶路撒冷,严守割礼的门徒就指责他: “你竟然去未受割礼之人的家,还和他们一同吃饭!”

彼得就把事情的经过一一向他们解释,说: “我在约帕城祷告的时候,看见一个异象,有一大块像布的东西四个角吊着从天上降到我面前。 我定睛一看,里面有牲畜、野兽、爬虫和飞禽。 接着,我听见有声音对我说,‘彼得,起来,宰了吃!’ 我说,‘主啊,这可不行!我从未吃过任何污秽不洁之物!’ 那从天上来的声音又说,‘上帝已经洁净的,你不可再称之为不洁净。’ 10 这样一连三次,然后一切都被收回天上去了。 11 就在那时候,有三个从凯撒利亚来的人到我住处的门口来找我。 12 圣灵吩咐我跟他们同去,不要犹豫。就这样,我和这六位弟兄一同到了哥尼流家。 13 他告诉我们天使如何在他家中向他显现,并对他说,‘你派人去约帕,请一位名叫西门·彼得的人来。 14 他有话告诉你,能使你和你的全家得救。’

15 “我开口讲话时,圣灵降在他们身上,跟当初降在我们身上的情形一模一样。 16 我就想起主的话,‘约翰用水施洗,但你们要受圣灵的洗礼。’ 17 既然上帝给他们恩赐,就如我们信主耶稣基督时给我们一样,我是谁,怎能拦阻上帝?” 18 大家听了便安静下来,转而归荣耀给上帝,说:“如此看来,上帝把悔改得永生的机会也赐给了外族人。”

安提阿的教会

19 司提凡殉道后,信徒们因受迫害而四散到各处,远至腓尼基、塞浦路斯和安提阿,他们只向那里的犹太人传福音。 20 不过,有些塞浦路斯和古利奈的信徒到了安提阿之后,也向希腊人传讲主耶稣的福音。 21 上帝的能力伴随着他们,有许多人信了主。

22 耶路撒冷教会的人听到这消息后,就派巴拿巴去安提阿。 23 他到达后,看见上帝所赐的恩典,就万分高兴,劝勉他们要全心地忠于主。

24 巴拿巴是个被圣灵充满、信心坚定的好人。那时信主的人大大增加。 25 他又到大数去找扫罗, 26 找到后,便带他回安提阿。他们在教会待了一年之久,教导了许多人。门徒被称为“基督徒”就是从安提阿开始的。

27 当时,有几位先知从耶路撒冷下到安提阿。 28 其中一位名叫亚迦布,他得到圣灵的启示,站起来预言天下将有严重的饥荒。后来,这事果然在克劳狄执政期间发生了。 29 门徒决定各尽所能,捐款救济住在犹太境内的弟兄姊妹。 30 他们捐完后,委托巴拿巴和扫罗将款项送交耶路撒冷教会的长老。

Peter Explains His Actions

11 The apostles and the believers(A) throughout Judea heard that the Gentiles also had received the word of God.(B) So when Peter went up to Jerusalem, the circumcised believers(C) criticized him and said, “You went into the house of uncircumcised men and ate with them.”(D)

Starting from the beginning, Peter told them the whole story: “I was in the city of Joppa praying, and in a trance I saw a vision.(E) I saw something like a large sheet being let down from heaven by its four corners, and it came down to where I was. I looked into it and saw four-footed animals of the earth, wild beasts, reptiles and birds. Then I heard a voice telling me, ‘Get up, Peter. Kill and eat.’

“I replied, ‘Surely not, Lord! Nothing impure or unclean has ever entered my mouth.’

“The voice spoke from heaven a second time, ‘Do not call anything impure that God has made clean.’(F) 10 This happened three times, and then it was all pulled up to heaven again.

11 “Right then three men who had been sent to me from Caesarea(G) stopped at the house where I was staying. 12 The Spirit told(H) me to have no hesitation about going with them.(I) These six brothers(J) also went with me, and we entered the man’s house. 13 He told us how he had seen an angel(K) appear in his house and say, ‘Send to Joppa for Simon who is called Peter. 14 He will bring you a message(L) through which you and all your household(M) will be saved.’

15 “As I began to speak, the Holy Spirit came on(N) them as he had come on us at the beginning.(O) 16 Then I remembered what the Lord had said: ‘John baptized with[a] water,(P) but you will be baptized with[b] the Holy Spirit.’(Q) 17 So if God gave them the same gift(R) he gave us(S) who believed in the Lord Jesus Christ, who was I to think that I could stand in God’s way?”

18 When they heard this, they had no further objections and praised God, saying, “So then, even to Gentiles God has granted repentance that leads to life.”(T)

The Church in Antioch

19 Now those who had been scattered by the persecution that broke out when Stephen was killed(U) traveled as far as Phoenicia, Cyprus and Antioch,(V) spreading the word only among Jews. 20 Some of them, however, men from Cyprus(W) and Cyrene,(X) went to Antioch(Y) and began to speak to Greeks also, telling them the good news(Z) about the Lord Jesus. 21 The Lord’s hand was with them,(AA) and a great number of people believed and turned to the Lord.(AB)

22 News of this reached the church in Jerusalem, and they sent Barnabas(AC) to Antioch. 23 When he arrived and saw what the grace of God had done,(AD) he was glad and encouraged them all to remain true to the Lord with all their hearts.(AE) 24 He was a good man, full of the Holy Spirit(AF) and faith, and a great number of people were brought to the Lord.(AG)

25 Then Barnabas went to Tarsus(AH) to look for Saul, 26 and when he found him, he brought him to Antioch. So for a whole year Barnabas and Saul met with the church and taught great numbers of people. The disciples(AI) were called Christians first(AJ) at Antioch.

27 During this time some prophets(AK) came down from Jerusalem to Antioch. 28 One of them, named Agabus,(AL) stood up and through the Spirit predicted that a severe famine would spread over the entire Roman world.(AM) (This happened during the reign of Claudius.)(AN) 29 The disciples,(AO) as each one was able, decided to provide help(AP) for the brothers and sisters(AQ) living in Judea. 30 This they did, sending their gift to the elders(AR) by Barnabas(AS) and Saul.(AT)
