< Lik 24 >

1 Nan dimanch maten, byen bonè, medam yo ale nan kavo a. Yo te pote lwil santi bon yo te pare pou benyen kò a.
But very early on the first day of the week they went to the tomb, taking with them the spices that they had prepared.
2 Yo jwenn wòch ki te fèmen kavo a te woule byen lwen soti devan bouch kavo a.
They found that the stone had been rolled away from the tomb;
3 Yo antre, men yo pa jwenn kò Seyè Jezi.
and, on going into it, they could not find the body.
4 Yo te la konsa, yo pa t' konn sa pou yo te fè lè de moun parèt devan yo ak rad yo byen klere.
While they were at a loss to account for this, all at once two men stood beside them, in dazzling clothing.
5 Medam yo te pè anpil. Yo bese tèt yo atè; men de moun yo di yo konsa: Poukisa n'ap chache moun vivan an nan mitan mò yo?
But, when in their fear the women bowed their faces to the ground, the men said to them, ‘Why are you looking among the dead for him who is living?
6 (Li pa isit; li leve soti vivan nan lanmò.) Chonje sa l' te di nou lè l' te Galile a:
Remember how he spoke to you before he left Galilee –
7 Moun Bondye voye nan lachè a gen pou tonbe anba men pechè yo; yo gen pou yo kloure l' sou yon kwa. Men, sou twa jou l'ap leve soti vivan ankò.
How he said that the Son of Man must be betrayed into the hands of wicked men, and be crucified, and rise again on the third day.’
8 Yo vin chonje pawòl Jezi te di yo.
Then they remembered the words of Jesus,
9 Yo soti kite kavo a, y' al rakonte onz disip yo ak lòt moun yo tout bagay sa yo.
and, on returning from the tomb, they told all this to the Eleven and to all the rest.
10 Men non medam yo: se te Mari, moun Magdala a, Jan ak Mari, manman Jak. Te gen lòt fanm avèk yo tou. Yo menm tou, yo te rakonte apòt yo menm bagay la.
There were Mary of Magdala, and Joanna, and Mary, the mother of James. The other women, too, spoke about this to the apostles.
11 Men, apòt yo te pran sa medam yo t'ap di a pou istwa san sans, yo pa t' kwè yo.
What they said seemed to the apostles mere nonsense, and they did not believe them.
12 Lè sa a, Pyè leve, li kouri al nan kavo a. Li bese, li wè dra mò a sèlman. Apre sa, li tounen lakay li. Li te sezi anpil pou sak te rive a.
13 Menm jou sa a, te gen de disip ki tapral nan yon bouk yo rele Emayis. Bouk la te yon ti distans onz kilomèt konsa ak lavil Jerizalèm.
It happened that very day that two of the disciples were going to a village called Emmaus, which was about seven miles from Jerusalem,
14 De disip yo t'ap koze sou tou sa ki te pase.
talking together, as they went, about all that had just taken place.
15 Yo t'ap pale, yo t'ap diskite yonn ak lòt. Lè sa a, Jezi pwoche bò kote yo, li tanmen fè wout ak yo.
While they were talking about these things and discussing them, Jesus himself came up and went on their way with them;
16 Yo te wè l', men te gen kichòy ki te anpeche yo rekonèt li.
but their eyes were blinded so that they could not recognise him.
17 Li di yo: Sou kisa n'ap pale konsa antan n'ap mache a? Yo rete yo kanpe tou tris.
‘What is this that you are saying to each other as you walk along?’ Jesus asked. They stopped, with sad looks on their faces,
18 Yonn ladan yo ki te rele Kleopas reponn li: Gen lè ou se sèl moun k'ap viv lavil Jerizalèm ki pa konn sak te rive nan senmenn ki sot pase a?
and then one of them, whose name was Cleopas, said to Jesus, ‘Are you staying by yourself at Jerusalem, that you have not heard of the things that have happened there within the last few days?’
19 Li di yo: Ki sak te rive konsa? Yo reponn li: Tou sak te rive Jezi, moun Nazarèt la. Nonm sa a te yon gwo pwofèt devan Bondye ak devan tout pèp la: li te fè anpil bèl bagay epi li te pale byen.
‘What things do you mean?’ asked Jesus. ‘Why, about Jesus of Nazareth,’ they answered, ‘who, in the eyes of God and all the people, was a prophet, whose power was felt in both his words and actions;
20 Enben, chèf prèt yo ak otorite nou yo fè yo kondannen l' amò, epi yo kloure l' sou yon kwa.
and how the chief priests and our leading men gave him up to be sentenced to death, and afterwards crucified him.
21 Nou te gen espwa se li menm ki t'ap vin delivre pep Izrayèl la. Men, jòdi a fè twa jou depi bagay sa yo pase.
But we were hoping that he was the Destined Deliverer of Israel; yes, and besides all this, it is now three days since these things occurred.
22 Fòk nou di ou tou gen kèk fanm nan gwoup nou an ki fè nou byen sezi. Yo te al nan kavo a granmaten jòdi a.
And what is more, some of the women among us have greatly astonished us. They went to the tomb at daybreak
23 Men, yo pa jwenn kò a. Yo tounen vin rakonte te gen zanj Bondye ki te parèt devan yo, ki te di yo li vivan.
And, not finding the body of Jesus there, came and told us that they had seen a vision of angels who told them that he was alive.
24 Gen kèk zanmi nou yo ki al nan kavo a tou. Yo jwenn tout bagay jan medam yo te di l' la; men li menm, yo pa wè li.
So some of our number went to the tomb and found everything just as the women had said, but they did not see Jesus.’
25 Lè sa a Jezi di yo: Ala moun san konprann! Ki jan lespri nou fè lou pou kwè tou sa pwofèt yo te di konsa!
Then Jesus said to them, ‘Foolish men, slow to accept all that the prophets have said!
26 Eske se pa pou Kris la te soufri bagay sa yo anvan pou l' te resevwa lwanj li?
Was not the Christ bound to undergo this suffering before entering into his glory?’
27 Epi li pran esplike yo tou sa ki te ekri sou li nan Liv yo; li kòmanse ak Liv Moyiz yo, li pase nan tout Liv pwofèt yo.
Then, beginning with Moses and all the prophets, he explained to them all through the scriptures the passages that referred to himself.
28 Lè yo rive toupre ti bouk kote yo t'ap prale a, Jezi fè tankou li ta vle al pi lwen.
When they got near the village to which they were walking, Jesus appeared to be going further;
29 Yo kenbe l', yo di li: Rete avèk nou non. Solèy fin kouche, pral fènwa. Li antre pou l' rete ak yo.
but they pressed him not to do so. ‘Stay with us,’ they said, ‘for it is getting towards evening, and the sun in already low.’ So Jesus went in to stay with them.
30 Li chita bò tab la ak yo pou manje. Li pran pen, li di Bondye mèsi, li kase l', epi li ba yo li.
After he had taken his place at the table with them, he took the bread and said the blessing, and broke it, and gave it to them.
31 Menm lè a, je yo louvri, yo rekonèt li. Men, li disparèt lamenm devan yo.
Then their eyes were opened and they recognised him; but he disappeared from their sight.
32 Yonn pran di lòt: Eske nou pa t' santi tankou yon dife k'ap boule nan kè nou lè l' t'ap pale avèk nou sou tout wout la, lè l' t'ap esplike nou sak te ekri nan Liv yo?
‘How our hearts glowed,’ the disciples said to each other, ‘while he was talking to us on the road, and when he explained the scriptures to us!’
33 Latou, yo leve, yo tounen Jerizalèm. Lè yo rive, yo jwenn onz disip yo reyini ak zanmi yo.
Then they immediately got up and returned to Jerusalem, where they found the Eleven and their companions all together,
34 Yo tout yo t'ap di: Se vre wi, Seyè a leve vivan. Simon wè li.
who told them that the Master had really risen, and had appeared to Simon.
35 Lè sa a, de disip yo pran rakonte sak te rive yo sou wout la, ki jan yo te rekonèt li lè l' te kase pen an.
So they also related what had happened during their walk, and how they had recognised Jesus at the breaking of the bread.
36 Pandan yo t'ap pale konsa, Jezi li menm vin kanpe nan mitan yo, li di yo: benediksyon Bondye sou nou tout.
While they were still talking about these things, Jesus himself stood among them.
37 Yo te pè, yo pran tranble: yo te kwè se yon revenan.
In their terror and alarm they thought they saw a ghost,
38 Men, Jezi di yo: Poukisa nou pè konsa? Pouki tout lide sa yo nan tèt nou?
but Jesus said to them, ‘Why are you so startled? And why do doubts arise in your minds?
39 Gade men m' ak pye m' yo. Se mwen menm wi. Nou mèt mangen m'. Gade m' byen: yon revenan pa gen vyann ak zo jan nou wè m' genyen an.
Look at my hands and my feet, and you will know that it is I. Feel me, and look at me, for a ghost has not flesh and bones, as you see that I have.’
40 Antan li t'ap di yo sa, li moutre yo men l' ak pye l' yo.
41 Yon sèl kè kontan pran disip yo, men yo pa t' kwè toujou sitèlman yo te sezi. Lè sa a, Jezi di yo: Eske nou gen kichòy la a pou manje?
While they were still unable to believe it all, overcome with joy, and were wondering if it were true, Jesus said to them, ‘Have you anything here to eat?’
42 Yo ofri l' yon moso pwason boukannen.
They handed him a piece of broiled fish,
43 Li pran l', li manje l' devan je yo.
and he took it and ate it before their eyes.
44 Epi li di yo: Men sa m' t'ap di nou an lè m' te la avèk nou toujou a. Tou sa ki te ekri sou mwen nan lalwa Moyiz la, nan Liv pwofèt yo, menm nan sòm yo, fòk tou sa te rive.
‘This is what I told you,’ he said, ‘when I was still with you – that everything that had been written about me in the Law of Moses, the prophets, and the Psalms, must be fulfilled.’
45 Lè sa a, li louvri lespri yo pou yo te ka konprann tou sa ki te ekri nan Liv yo.
Then he enabled them to understand the meaning of the scriptures, saying to them,
46 Li di yo: Men sa ki te ekri: Kris la gen pou l' soufri jouk li mouri, men sou twa jou li gen pou l' soti vivan nan lanmò.
‘Scripture says that the Christ will suffer, and that he will rise again from the dead on the third day,
47 Y'a pran non l' pou yo mache fè konnen mesaj la nan tout peyi, kòmanse lavil Jerizalèm, pou mande tout moun pou yo tounen vin jwenn Bondye pou yo ka resevwa padon peche yo.
and that repentance for forgiveness of sins will be proclaimed on his authority to all the nations – beginning at Jerusalem.
48 Nou temwen tout bagay sa yo.
You yourselves are to be witnesses to all this.
49 Mwen menm, mapral voye ban nou sa Papa m' te pwomèt la. Nou menm, rete lavil Jerizalèm jouk pouvwa k'ap soti anwo nan syèl la va desann sou nou.
And now I am myself about to send you that which my Father has promised. But you must remain in the city until you have been invested with power from above.’
50 Apre sa, li mennen yo an deyò lavil la, bò Betani, epi li leve men li pou l' beni yo.
After this, Jesus led them out as far as Bethany, and there raised his hands and blessed them.
51 Antan l'ap beni yo konsa, li separe ak yo, li moute nan syèl la.
As he was in the act of blessing them, he left them.
52 Yo menm menm, lè yo fin adore l', yo tounen lavil Jerizalèm ak yon gwo kè kontan.
They returned to Jerusalem full of joy;
53 Se tout tan yo te nan tanp lan ap fè lwanj Bondye.
and they were constantly in the Temple Courts, blessing God.
