Matthew 11
1 When Jesus had finished directing his twelve disciples, he departed from there to teach and preach in their cities.
Lè Jésus te fin bay enstriksyon a douz disip Li yo, Li te kite kote sa a pou enstwi e preche nan vil pa yo.
2 Now when John heard in the prison the works of Christ, he sent two of his disciples
Alò, lè Jean, depi nan prizon an, te tande tout zèv ke Kris la t ap fè yo. Konsa, li te voye yon mesaj pa disip Li yo.
3 and said to him, “Are you he who comes, or should we look for another?”
Li te mande L: “Èske Ou se Sila ke nou t ap tann nan, oubyen èske nou bezwen tann yon lòt?”
4 Jesus answered them, “Go and tell John the things which you hear and see:
Jésus te reponn yo e te di: “Ale fè rapò a Jean selon tout sa nou tande e wè:
5 the blind receive their sight, the lame walk, the lepers are cleansed, the deaf hear, the dead are raised up, and the poor have good news preached to them.
Avèg yo vin wè, sila ki t ap bwate yo vin mache dwat, lepre yo vin pirifye, soud yo vin tande, mò yo vin resisite, e malere yo tande bòn nouvèl la.
6 Blessed is he who finds no occasion for stumbling in me.”
Beni se sila ki pa chite akoz Mwen menm nan.”
7 As these went their way, Jesus began to say to the multitudes concerning John, “What did you go out into the wilderness to see? A reed shaken by the wind?
Pandan mesye sa yo, disip a Jean Baptiste yo t ap prale, Jésus te kòmanse pale avèk foul la konsènan Jean: “Kisa nou te ale wè nan savann nan? Yon wozo ki souke pa van?
8 But what did you go out to see? A man in soft clothing? Behold, those who wear soft clothing are in kings’ houses.
Men kisa nou te ale wè? Yon nonm abiye ak rad ki swa? Sila ki mete rad swa yo rete nan palè a wa yo.
9 But why did you go out? To see a prophet? Yes, I tell you, and much more than a prophet.
Men kisa nou te sòti pou wè? Yon pwofèt? Wi, Mwen di nou e se youn ki plis ke yon pwofèt.
10 For this is he, of whom it is written, ‘Behold, I send my messenger before your face, who will prepare your way before you.’
Se selon sila menm ke pwofèt yo te ekri: Gade byen! Mwen voye mesaje Mwen an devan fas nou, ki va prepare chemen an devan nou.”
11 Most certainly I tell you, among those who are born of women there has not arisen anyone greater than John the Baptizer; yet he who is least in the Kingdom of Heaven is greater than he.
Anverite Mwen di nou, pami sila ki fèt pa fanm yo, pa janm leve youn ki pi gran ke Jean Baptiste; malgre sa, sila ki pi piti nan wayòm syèl la, pi gran pase li.
12 From the days of John the Baptizer until now, the Kingdom of Heaven suffers violence, and the violent take it by force.
Depi jou a Jean Baptiste yo jis rive kounye a, wayòm syèl la ap soufri vyolans, e lòm vyolan yo pran li pa lafòs.
13 For all the prophets and the law prophesied until John.
Paske tout pwofèt yo ansanm ak Lalwa a te pwofetize jiska Jean.
14 If you are willing to receive it, this is Elijah, who is to come.
Konsa, si nou kapab aksepte l, se li menm ki Elie, sila ki te genyen pou vini an.
15 He who has ears to hear, let him hear.
Sila ki gen zòrèy pou tande, kite l tande.
16 “But to what shall I compare this generation? It is like children sitting in the marketplaces, who call to their companions
“Men a kisa Mwen kapab konpare jenerasyon sila a? Li tankou timoun ki chita nan mache a, k ap rele lòt timoun
17 and say, ‘We played the flute for you, and you didn’t dance. We mourned for you, and you didn’t lament.’
pou di: ‘Nou te jwe flit pou nou, e nou pa t danse. Nou te chante yon antèman, e nou pa t kriye’.
18 For John came neither eating nor drinking, and they say, ‘He has a demon.’
Paske Jean te vini san manje ni bwè, e yo di: ‘Li gen yon move lespri’!
19 The Son of Man came eating and drinking, and they say, ‘Behold, a gluttonous man and a drunkard, a friend of tax collectors and sinners!’ But wisdom is justified by her children.”
Men Fis a Lòm nan te vini avèk manje e avèk bwè, e yo di: ‘Gade, li manje twòp, li bwè twòp, e li fè zanmi avèk moun biwo kontribisyon an, ak pechè yo!’ Men sajès la toujou jistifye pa zanfan li yo.”
20 Then he began to denounce the cities in which most of his mighty works had been done, because they didn’t repent.
Li te kòmanse repwoche vil kote pi fò mirak yo te fèt yo, paske yo pa t repanti.
21 “Woe to you, Chorazin! Woe to you, Bethsaida! For if the mighty works had been done in Tyre and Sidon which were done in you, they would have repented long ago in sackcloth and ashes.
Malè a ou menm, Chorazin! Malè a ou menm, Bethsaïda! Si mirak ki te fèt nan nou yo, te fèt nan Tyr ak Sidon, yo t ap gen tan repanti lontan avèk rad sak ak sann.
22 But I tell you, it will be more tolerable for Tyre and Sidon on the day of judgment than for you.
Malgre sa Mwen di nou, l ap pi tolerab pou Tir ak Sidon nan jou jijman an pase pou nou menm.
23 You, Capernaum, who are exalted to heaven, you will go down to Hades. For if the mighty works had been done in Sodom which were done in you, it would have remained until today. (Hadēs g86)
Epi nou menm, Capernaüm; nou p ap monte nan syèl la! Nou konnen sa? Nou ap desann nan Lanfè. Paske si mirak ki te fèt nan nou yo, te fèt nan Sodome; yo ta toujou la jodi a. (Hadēs g86)
24 But I tell you that it will be more tolerable for the land of Sodom on the day of judgment, than for you.”
Malgre sa, Mwen di nou ke li va pi tolerab pou peyi Sodome nan jou jijman an pase pou nou menm.
25 At that time, Jesus answered, “I thank you, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, that you hid these things from the wise and understanding, and revealed them to infants.
Nan lè sa a, Jésus te reponn. Li te di: “Mwen bay Ou glwa, O Papa, Senyè syèl la ak tè a, ke Ou kache bagay sa yo pou saj avèk entèlijan yo pa wè, e Ou te montre yo menm a zanfan yo.
26 Yes, Father, for so it was well-pleasing in your sight.
Wi Papa, konsa sa te fè plezi nan zye Ou.
27 All things have been delivered to me by my Father. No one knows the Son, except the Father; neither does anyone know the Father, except the Son and he to whom the Son desires to reveal him.
Papa M fin lonje ban Mwen tout bagay. Pèsòn pa konnen Fis la, sof Papa a; ni pèsòn pa konnen Papa a, sof ke Fis La, ak nenpòt moun ke Fis La vle revele Li menm.
28 “Come to me, all you who labor and are heavily burdened, and I will give you rest.
“Vini a Mwen menm, tout sila yo ki fatige, k ap pote chaj lou, e M ap bannou repo. Aprann de Mwen menm; paske Mwen dous e enb nan kè, e Mwen va bay nou repo.
29 Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart; and you will find rest for your souls.
Pran jouk mwen sou nou, e vin aprann de Mwen menm, paske Mwen dous e enb nan kè; e nou va jwenn repo pou nanm nou.
30 For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.”
Paske jouk Mwen an dous, e chaj Mwen an lejè.”
