Jan 6
1 Apre sa, Jezi janbe lòt bò lanmè Galile a. Yo rele lanmè sa a lanmè Tiberyad tou.
After this, Jesus crossed the Sea of Galilee – otherwise called the Lake of Tiberias.
2 Yon gwo foul moun t'ap swiv li, paske yo te wè mirak li t'ap fè, jan li t'ap geri anpil moun malad tou.
A great crowd of people, however, followed him, because they saw the signs of his mission in his work among those who were sick.
3 Jezi moute sou yon ti mòn, li chita la ansanm ak disip li yo.
Jesus went up the hill, and sat down there with his disciples.
4 Jou fèt Delivrans jwif yo te vanse rive.
It was near the time of the Jewish Festival of the Passover.
5 Jezi gade, li wè yon gwo foul moun ki t'ap vin jwenn li. Li rele Filip, li di l' konsa: Ki bò nou ta ka jwenn manje pou n' achte pou n' bay moun sa yo manje?
Looking up, and noticing that a great crowd was coming towards him, Jesus said to Philip, ‘Where are we to buy bread for these people to eat?’
6 (Li t'ap di sa pou l' te wè sa Filip tapral reponn li; li menm li te byen konnen sa l' tapral fè.)
He said this to test him, for he himself knew what he meant to do.
7 Filip reponn li: Menm si nou ta gen desan (200) goud pou achte pen, pa ta gen ase pou chak moun ta jwenn ti kal.
‘Even if we spent a years’ wages on bread,’ answered Philip, ‘it would not be enough for each of them to have a little.’
8 Yon lòt nan disip yo, Andre, frè Simon Pyè a, di li:
‘There is a boy here,’ said Andrew, another of his disciples, Simon Peter’s brother,
9 Gen yon ti gason la a ki gen senk pen fèt ak farenn lòj, ak de ti pwason. Men, sa pa anyen pou tout kantite moun sa yo.
‘Who has five barley loaves and two fish; but what is that for so many?’
10 Lè sa a, Jezi di yo: Fè moun yo chita. (Te gen anpil zèb bò la.) Moun yo chita, te gen senkmil (5.000) gason konsa.
‘Make the people sit down,’ said Jesus. It was a grassy spot; so the people, who numbered about five thousand, sat down,
11 Jezi pran pen yo; lè li fin di Bondye mèsi pou yo, li bay tout moun ki te chita yo. Li fè menm jan an tou ak pwason yo. Yo tout te jwenn kantite yo te vle.
and then Jesus took the loaves, and, after saying the thanksgiving, distributed them to those who were sitting down; and the same with the fish, giving the people as much as they wanted.
12 Lè tout fin manje vant plen, Jezi di disip li yo: Ranmase tout ti moso ki rete yo. Pa kite anyen gaspiye.
When they were satisfied, Jesus said to his disciples, ‘Collect the broken pieces that are left, so that nothing may be wasted.’
13 Yo ranmase tout moso ki te rete nan senk pen moun yo te manje yo. Yo plen douz panyen pote ale.
The disciples did so, and filled twelve baskets with the pieces of the five barley loaves, which were left after all had eaten.
14 Lè moun yo wè mirak Jezi te fè a, yo di konsa: Se vre wi, nonm sa a se pwofèt ki te gen pou vini sou latè a.
When the people saw the signs which Jesus gave, they said, ‘This is certainly the prophet who was to come into the world.’
15 Jezi te vin konnen yo tapral pran l' pa fòs pou yo fè l' wa. Li wete kò l' ankò sou ti mòn lan, men fwa sa a pou kont li.
But Jesus, having discovered that they were intending to come and carry him off to make him king, went again up the hill, quite alone.
16 Lè solèy fin kouche, disip li yo desann bò lanmè a.
When evening fell, his disciples went down to the sea,
17 Yo moute nan yon kannòt, yo pran travèse lanmè a nan direksyon Kapènawòm. Te fin fè nwit nèt, men Jezi pa t' ankò vin jwenn yo.
and, getting into a boat, began to cross to Capernaum. By this time darkness had set in, and Jesus had not yet come back to them;
18 Dlo lanmè a te move paske van an te fò.
the sea, too, was getting rough, for a strong wind was blowing.
19 Yo te gen tan naje zaviwon senk a sis kilomèt konsa deja, lè yo wè Jezi ki t'ap vin bò kannòt la. Li t'ap mache sou dlo a. Yo tout te pè.
When they had rowed three or four miles, they caught sight of him walking on the water and approaching the boat, and they were frightened.
20 Men, Jezi di yo: Se mwen menm. Nou pa bezwen pè.
But Jesus said to them, ‘It is I; do not be afraid!’
21 Yo te vle pran l' nan kannòt la, men lamenm yo fè tè: yo te gen tan rive kote yo taprale a.
And after this they were glad to take him into the boat; and the boat at once arrived off the shore, for which they had been making.
22 Nan denmen, foul moun ki te rete lòt bò lanmè a te wè te gen yon sèl kannòt ase. Yo te konnen Jezi pa t' moute nan kannòt la avèk disip li yo. Disip li yo te pati pou kont yo.
The people who remained on the other side of the sea had seen that only one boat had been there, and that Jesus had not gone into it with his disciples, but that they had left without him.
23 Men, te gen lòt kannòt ki te soti lavil Tiberyad ki te rive bò kote yo te manje pen an apre Seyè a te di Bondye mèsi a.
Some boats, however, had come from Tiberias, from near the spot where they had eaten the bread after the Master had said the thanksgiving.
24 Lè foul moun yo wè ni Jezi, ni disip li yo pa t' la, yo moute nan kannòt sa yo, y' al chache l' lavil Kapènawòm.
So, on the next day, when the people saw that Jesus was not there, or his disciples either, they themselves got into the boats, and went to Capernaum to look for him.
25 Yo jwenn Jezi lòt bò lanmè a. Yo di li: Mèt, kilè ou gen tan rive isit la?
And, when they found him on the other side of the sea, they said, ‘When did you get here, Rabbi?’
26 Jezi reponn yo: Sa m'ap di nou la a, se vre wi: Se pa paske nou wè mirak mwen fè yo non kifè n'ap chache m' konsa. Se paske nou manje pen plen vant nou.
‘In truth I tell you,’ answered Jesus, ‘it is not because of the signs which you saw that you are looking for me, but because you had the bread to eat and were satisfied.
27 Pa travay pou manje k'ap gate! Travay pito pou manje k'ap konsève, manje k'ap bay lavi ki p'ap janm fini an. Kalite manje sa a, se Moun Bondye voye nan lachè a ki va ban nou l', paske se pou sa Bondye Papa a voye li. (aiōnios g166)
Work, not for the food that perishes, but for the food that lasts for eternal life, which the Son of Man will give you; for on him the Father – God himself – has set the seal of his approval.’ (aiōnios g166)
28 Lè sa a, yo mande li: Kisa pou n' fè si nou vle fè travay Bondye?
‘How,’ they asked, ‘are we to do the work that God wants us to do?’
29 Jezi reponn yo: Sèl travay Bondye mande nou pou n' fè, se pou nou mete konfyans nou nan moun li voye a.
‘The work that God wants you to do,’ answered Jesus, ‘is to believe in him whom God sent as his messenger.’
30 Yo di li: Ki mirak ou ka fè nou wè pou nou ka kwè nan ou? Kisa ou pral fè?
‘What sign, then,’ they asked, ‘are you giving, which we may see, and so believe you? What is the work that you are doing?
31 Zansèt nou yo te manje laman nan dezè a, jan sa ekri nan Liv la: Li ba yo pen ki soti nan syèl la pou yo manje.
Our ancestors had the manna to eat in the desert; as scripture says – “He gave them bread from heaven to eat.”’
32 Jezi reponn yo: Sa m'ap di nou la a, se vre wi: Moyiz pa t' ban nou pen ki soti nan syèl la. Men, se Papa m' k'ap ban nou pen ki soti nan syèl tout bon an.
‘In truth I tell you,’ replied Jesus, ‘Moses did not give you the bread from heaven, but my Father does give you the true bread from heaven;
33 Paske pen Bondye bay la, se moun ki desann sot nan syèl la pou bay lèzòm lavi.
for the bread that God gives is that which comes down from heaven, and gives life to the world.’
34 Yo di li: Mèt, toujou ban n' nan kalite pen sa a.
‘Master,’ they exclaimed, ‘give us that bread always!’
35 Jezi di yo: Se mwen menm pen ki bay lavi a. Moun ki vin jwenn mwen p'ap janm grangou; moun ki kwè nan mwen p'ap janm swaf dlo.
‘I am the life-giving bread,’ Jesus said to them, ‘whoever comes to me will never be hungry, and whoever believes in me will never thirst again.
36 Men, mwen te di nou sa: nou wè m', men nou pa kwè toujou.
But, as I have said already, you have seen me, and yet you do not believe in me.
37 Tout moun Papa a ban mwen, gen pou vin jwenn mwen. Mwen p'ap janm mete moun ki vin jwenn mwen yo deyò.
All those whom the Father gives me will come to me; and no one who comes to me will I ever turn away.
38 Paske, se pa pou fè volonte pa m' mwen desann sot nan syèl la, men pou m' fè volonte moun ki voye m' lan.
For I have come down from heaven, to do, not my own will, but the will of him who sent me;
39 Men sa moun ki voye m' lan vle: li vle pou m' pa pèdi yonn nan moun li ban mwen yo, men pou m' fè yo leve soti vivan nan lanmò nan dènye jou a.
and his will is this – that I should not lose one of all those whom he has given me, but should raise them up at the Last day.
40 Men sa Papa m' vle: Tout moun ki wè Pitit la, ki kwè nan li, se pou yo gen lavi ki p'ap janm fini an. Mwen gen pou m' fè yo leve soti vivan nan lanmò nan dènye jou a. (aiōnios g166)
For it is the will of my Father that everyone who sees the Son, and believes in him, should have immortal life; and I myself will raise him up at the Last day.’ (aiōnios g166)
41 Jwif yo te fache anpil sou Jezi poutèt li te di: Se mwen menm ki pen ki desann sot nan syèl la.
The people began murmuring against Jesus for saying – “I am the bread which came down from heaven.”
42 Yo t'ap di: Apa Jezi, pitit gason Jozèf la? Nou konn papa l' ak manman li. Ki jan li ka fè di koulye a li desann sot nan syèl la?
‘Is not this Jesus, Joseph’s son,’ they asked, ‘whose father and mother we know? How is it that he now says that he has come down from heaven?’
43 Jezi reponn yo: Nou pa bezwen ap bougonnen konsa.
‘Do not murmur among yourselves,’ said Jesus in reply.
44 Pesonn pa ka vin jwenn mwen si Papa ki voye m' lan pa rele l' vini. Mwen menm, m'a fè l' leve soti vivan nan lanmò nan dènye jou a.
‘No one can come to me, unless the Father who sent me draws him to me; and I will raise him up at the Last day.
45 Se sa ki ekri nan liv pwofèt yo: Bondye menm ap moutre yo tout bagay. Tout moun ki koute Papa a, ki asepte tou sa l' moutre yo, y'ap vin jwenn mwen.
It is said in the prophets – “And they will all be taught by God.” Everyone who is taught by the Father and learns from him comes to me.
46 Sa pa vle di gen pesonn ki janm wè Papa a. Sèl moun ki wè Papa a, se moun ki soti bò kote Bondye ye a.
Not that anyone has seen the Father, except him who is from God – he has seen the Father.
47 Sa m'ap di nou la a, se vre wi: moun ki mete konfyans yo nan Bondye, se yo ki gen lavi ki p'ap janm fini an. (aiōnios g166)
In truth I tell you, the person who believes in me has eternal life. (aiōnios g166)
48 Se mwen menm pen ki bay lavi a.
I am the life-giving bread.
49 Zansèt nou yo te manje laman nan dezè a, atousa yo mouri.
Your ancestors ate the manna in the desert, and yet died.
50 Men, moun ki manje pen ki desann sot nan syèl la, yo p'ap janm mouri.
The bread that comes down from heaven is such that whoever eats of it will never die.
51 Se mwen menm pen ki bay lavi a, pen ki desann sot nan syèl la. Si yon moun manje nan pen sa a, l'ap viv pou tout tan. Pen mwen gen pou m' bay la, se kò mwen. M'ap bay li pou tout moun ki sou latè ka jwenn lavi. (aiōn g165)
I am the living bread that has come down from heaven. If anyone eats of this bread, they will live for ever; and the bread that I will give is my flesh, which I will give for the life of the world.’ (aiōn g165)
52 Pawòl sa yo fè jwif yo tonbe diskite yonn ak lòt. Yo t'ap mande: Kouman nonm sa a kapab ban nou kò l' pou n' manje?
They began disputing with one another, ‘How is it possible for this man to give us his flesh to eat?’
53 Jezi di yo: Sa m'ap di nou la a, se vre wi: si nou pa manje kò Moun Bondye voye nan lachè a, si nou pa bwè san li, nou p'ap gen lavi nan nou.
‘In truth I tell you,’ answered Jesus, ‘unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man, and drink his blood, you have not life within you.
54 Moun ki manje kò mwen, ki bwè san mwen, li gen lavi ki p'ap janm fini an. Mwen gen pou m' fè l' leve soti vivan nan lanmò nan dènye jou a. (aiōnios g166)
Everyone who takes my flesh for their food, and drinks my blood, has eternal life; and I will raise them up at the Last day. (aiōnios g166)
55 Paske kò m', se yon manje tout bon, san mwen, se yon bwason tout bon.
For my flesh is true food, and my blood true drink.
56 Moun ki manje kò m', ki bwè san m', y'ap fè yonn avè m', epi m'ap fè yonn avè yo tou.
Everyone who takes my flesh for their food, and drinks my blood, remains united to me, and I to them.
57 Papa ki voye m' lan, li vivan. Se li menm ki ban m' lavi. Konsa tou, moun ki manje m', m'a ba yo lavi.
As the living Father sent me as his messenger, and as I live because the Father lives, so the person who takes me for their food will live because I live.
58 Men pen ki desann sot nan syèl la. Li pa tankou pen zansèt nou yo te manje a, paske pen yo a pa t' anpeche yo mouri. Moun ki manje pen sa a ap viv pou tout tan. (aiōn g165)
That is the bread which has come down from heaven – not such as your ancestors ate, and yet died; the person who takes this bread for their food will live for ever.’ (aiōn g165)
59 Jezi te di pawòl sa yo antan l' te nan sinagòg Kapènawòm lan ap moutre moun yo anpil bagay.
All this Jesus said in a synagogue, when he was teaching in Capernaum.
60 Lè yo fin tande sa, anpil nan disip Jezi yo di: Pawòl sa a twò rèd. Ki moun ki ka pran li?
On hearing it, many of his disciples said, ‘This is harsh doctrine! Who can bear to listen to it?’
61 Jezi te gen tan wè disip li yo t'ap bougonnen sou pawòl la. Li di yo: Sa ofiske nou, pa vre?
But Jesus, aware that his disciples were murmuring about it, said to them,
62 Kisa n'a di lè n'a wè Moun Bondye voye nan lachè a tounen moute kote l' te ye anvan an?
‘Is this a hindrance to you? What, then, if you should see the Son of Man ascending where he was before?
63 Se lespri a ki bay lavi, kò a pa vo anyen. Pawòl mwen di nou yo soti nan Lespri Bondye, yo bay lavi.
It is the Spirit that gives life; human strength achieves nothing. In the teaching that I have been giving you there is Spirit and there is life.
64 Men, gen kèk moun pami nou ki pa kwè. (Jezi te pale konsa, paske depi nan konmansman li te konnen moun ki pa t'ap kwè yo ansanm ak moun ki te gen pou trayi l' la.)
Yet there are some of you who do not believe in me.’ For Jesus knew from the first who they were that did not believe in him, and who it was that would betray him;
65 Li di ankò: Se poutèt sa mwen te di nou: pesonn pa ka vin jwenn mwen si se pa Bondye Papa a ki fè sa pou li.
and he added, ‘This is why I told you that no one can come to me, unless enabled by the Father.’
66 Depi lè sa a, anpil nan disip yo wete kò yo, yo pa mache avè l' ankò.
After this many of his disciples drew back, and did not go about with him any longer.
67 Lè Jezi wè sa, li di douz disip yo: Nou menm, nou pa vle ale tou?
So Jesus said to the Twelve, ‘Do you also wish to leave me?’
68 Simon Pyè reponn li: Seyè, ki moun pou n' al jwenn? Se ou menm ki gen pawòl k'ap bay lavi ki p'ap janm fini an. (aiōnios g166)
But Simon Peter answered, ‘Master, to whom would we go? Eternal life is in your teaching; (aiōnios g166)
69 Koulye a nou kwè, nou konnen se ou menm ki moun Bondye chwazi a.
and we have learned to believe and to know that you are the Holy One of God.’
70 Jezi reponn yo: Eske se pa mwen ki chwazi nou touledouz? Malgre sa, yonn nan nou se yon dyab.
‘Didn’t I myself choose you to be the Twelve?’ replied Jesus, ‘and yet, even of you, one is playing the devil’s part.’
71 Li t'ap pale sou Jida, pitit Simon Iskariòt la. Paske, atout Jida te yonn nan douz disip yo, se li ki tapral trayi li.
He meant Judas, the son of Simon Iscariot, who was about to betray him, though he was one of the Twelve.
