Lik 9
1 Jezi sanble douz disip li yo, li ba yo pouvwa ak otorite pou chase tout move lespri, pou geri tout maladi.
Jesus called the Twelve together, and gave them power and authority over all demons, as well as to cure diseases.
2 Apre sa, li voye yo mache fè konnen gouvènman Bondye Wa a, li voye yo geri malad yo tou.
He sent them out as his messengers, to proclaim the kingdom of God, and to work cures.
3 Li di yo: Pa pran anyen pou vwayaj la: ni baton, ni sak, ni pen, ni lajan, pa menm yon rad derechanj.
‘Do not,’ he said to them, ‘take anything for your journey; not even a staff, or a bag, or bread, or any silver, or a change of clothes with you.
4 Rete nan yon sèl kay, kay kote y'a resevwa nou an, jouk nou pati kite peyi a.
Whatever house you go to stay in, remain there, and leave from that place.
5 Tout kote moun pa vle resevwa nou, kite lavil sa a, souke pousyè pye nou; konsa yo p'ap ka di nou pa t' avèti yo.
If people do not welcome you, as you leave that town, shake even the dust off your feet, as a protest against them.’
6 Disip yo pati, yo mache ale nan tout bouk, yo t'ap anonse bon nouvèl la, yo t'ap geri moun malad toupatou.
Then they set out and went from village to village, telling the good news and curing people everywhere.
7 Lè sa a, Ewòd t'ap gouvènen nan peyi Galile a. Li te pran nouvèl tou sak t'ap pase. Men, li pa t' konnen sa pou l' te kwè. Gen moun ki t'ap di: Se Jan Batis ki leve pami mò yo.
Herod the ruler heard of all that was happening, and was perplexed, because it was said by some that John must be risen from the dead.
8 Gen lòt ki t'ap di: Se Eli ki parèt. Gen lòt ki t'ap di ankò: Se yonn nan ansyen pwofèt yo ki leve pami mò yo.
Some again said that Elijah had appeared, and others that one of the old prophets had risen again.
9 Men Ewòd t'ap di: Mwen te fè koupe tèt Jan. Men, nonm mwen tande y'ap nonmen non l' anpil la, kilès li ye menm? Li t'ap chache wè Jezi.
But Herod himself said, ‘John I beheaded; but who is this of whom I hear such things?’ And he endeavoured to see him.
10 Lè apòt yo tounen, yo rakonte Jezi tou sa yo te fè. Li pran yo avèk li, yo pati ansanm pou kont yo pou lavil Betsayda.
When the apostles returned, they related to Jesus all that they had done. Then Jesus went privately to a town called Bethsaida, taking the apostles with him.
11 Men, lè foul moun yo vin konn sa, yo pati dèyè li. Jezi resevwa yo, li pale yo sou peyi kote Bondye Wa a, li geri tout moun ki te malad.
But the people recognised him and followed him in crowds; and Jesus welcomed them and spoke to them about the kingdom of God, while he cured those who were in need of help.
12 Lè solèy kòmanse kouche, douz disip yo pwoche bò kot Jezi, yo di li: Voye moun yo ale pou yo ka achte manje, pou yo jwenn kote pou yo dòmi nan bouk yo ak nan vwazinaj la; paske isit la nou nan mitan yon dezè.
The day was drawing to a close, when the twelve came up to him, and said, ‘Send the crowd away, so that they may make their way to the villages and farms round about, and find themselves lodgings and provisions, for we are in a lonely spot here.’
13 Jezi di yo: Poukisa nou pa ba yo manje pito! Men, yo reponn: Nou gen senk pen ak de pwason sèlman. Ou ta vle pou n' al achte manje pou n' bay tout pèp sa a?
But Jesus said, ‘It is for you to give them something to eat.’ ‘We have not more than five loaves and two fish,’ they answered. ‘Unless indeed we are to go and buy food for all these people.’
14 (Te gen senkmil (5.000) gason konsa.) Jezi di disip li yo: Fè yo chita pa ranje senkant konsa.
(For the men among them were about five thousand.) ‘Get them seated in companies,’ was his reply, ‘about fifty in each.’
15 Disip yo koute l', yo fè tout moun chita.
This they did, and got all the people seated.
16 Jezi pran senk pen ak de pwason yo, li leve je l' nan syèl la, li di Bondye mèsi pou manje a. Apre sa, li separe l', li renmèt li bay disip yo pou mache bay foul moun yo.
Taking the five loaves and the two fish, Jesus looked up to heaven and said the blessing over them. Then he broke them in pieces, and gave them to his disciples to set before the people.
17 Tout moun manje vant plen. Lèfini, disip yo ranmase douz panyen plen moso ki te rete.
Everyone had sufficient to eat, and what was left of the broken pieces was picked up – twelve baskets.
18 Yon jou, Jezi te pou kont li, li t'ap lapriyè. Disip li yo vin jwenn li, li mande yo: Ki moun yo di mwen ye?
Afterwards, when Jesus was alone, praying, his disciples joined him, and he asked them this question – ‘Who do the people say that I am?’
19 Yo reponn li: Gen moun ki di ou se Jan Batis! Gen lòt ki di ou se Eli. Gen lòt ankò ki di ou se yonn nan ansyen pwofèt yo ki leve pami mò yo.
‘John the Baptist,’ was their answer. ‘Others, however, say that you are Elijah, while others say that one of the old prophets has risen again.’
20 Li mande yo: Bon, nou menm, ki moun nou di mwen ye? Pyè reponn li: Ou se Kris la, Moun Bondye chwazi pou voye a.
‘But you,’ he went on, ‘who do you say that I am?’ And to this Peter answered, ‘The Christ of God.’
21 Jezi pase yo lòd sevè pou yo pa di pesonn sa.
Jesus, however, strictly charged them not to say this to anyone;
22 Apre sa, li di yo: Mwen menm, Moun Bondye voye nan lachè a, mwen gen pou m' soufri anpil. Chèf fanmi yo, chèf prèt yo ak dirèktè lalwa yo, yo yonn p'ap vle wè mwen. Y'ap fè yo touye mwen. Men, sou twa jou m'ap leve soti vivan nan lanmò.
he told them that the Son of Man must undergo much suffering, and be rejected by the elders, and chief priests, and teachers of the Law, and be put to death, and rise on the third day.
23 Epi li di yo tout: Si yon moun vle mache dèyè m', se pou li bliye tèt li. Se pou li chaje kwa l' sou zèpòl li chak jou, epi swiv mwen.
And to all present he said, ‘If any one wishes to walk in my steps, they must renounce self, and take up their cross daily, and follow me.
24 Paske, moun ki ta vle sove lavi l' va pèdi li. Men, moun ki va pèdi lavi l' poutèt mwen, la sove li.
For whoever wishes to save their life will lose it, and whoever, for my sake, loses his life – that person will save it.
25 Kisa sa ta sèvi yon moun pou l' ta genyen lemonn antye, si l' pèdi nanm li, ou si l' detwi lavi li?
What good does it do someone if, when they has gained the whole world, they has lost or forfeited themselves?
26 Si yon moun wont di se moun mwen li ye, si li wont pale pawòl mwen, enben, mwen menm tou, Moun Bondye voye nan lachè a, lè m'a tounen nan tout pouvwa m' ak tout bèl pouvwa Papa m', nan mitan lame zanj li yo, m'a wont pran li pou moun pa m' tou.
Whoever is ashamed of me and of my teaching, the Son of Man will be ashamed of them, when he comes in his glory and the glory of the father and of the holy angels.
27 Sa m'ap di nou la a, se vre wi: nan moun ki la koulye a, gen ladan yo ki p'ap mouri san yo pa wè gouvènman Bondye a.
Indeed, I tell you, some who are standing before me will not know death, until they have seen the kingdom of God.’
28 Wit jou konsa, apre li te fin di pawòl sa yo, Jezi pran Pyè, Jan ak Jak. Li moute sou yon mòn pou li al lapriyè.
About eight days after speaking these words, Jesus went up the mountain to pray, taking with him Peter, John, and James.
29 Antan li t'ap lapriyè, figi l' pran chanje, rad li vin klere tou blan.
As he was praying, the aspect of his face was changed, and his clothing became a dazzling white.
30 Te gen dezòm ki t'ap pale ak Jezi: se te Moyiz ak Eli,
And all at once two men were talking with Jesus; they were Moses and Elijah,
31 ki te parèt nan mitan yon bèl limyè ki soti nan syel la. Yo t'ap pale avèk li sou jan li tapral mouri lavil Jerizalèm pou l' te ka akonpli misyon li.
who appeared in a glorified state, and spoke of his departure, which was destined to take place at Jerusalem.
32 Yon bon dòmi te gen tan vòlè Pyè ak kanmarad li yo. Men, lè yo leve, yo wè bèl limyè ki te vlope Jezi ansanm ak de mesye ki te bò kote l' yo.
Peter and his companions had been overpowered by sleep but, suddenly becoming wide awake, they saw Jesus glorified and the two men who were standing beside him.
33 Antan mesye yo tapral kite Jezi Pyè di li: Mèt, sa te bon nèt pou nou te la. Ann moute twa ti kay, yonn pou ou, yonn pou Moyiz ak yonn pou Eli. Li pa t' konnen sa l' t'ap di.
And, as Moses and Elijah were passing away from Jesus, Peter exclaimed, ‘Sir, it is good to be here; let us make three tents, one for you, and one for Moses, and one for Elijah.’ He did not know what he was saying;
34 Pandan li t'ap pale konsa, yon nwaj vin kouvri yo ak lonbraj li. Lè disip yo wè nwaj la ap vin sou yo, yo te pè.
and, while he was speaking, a cloud came down and enveloped them; and they were afraid, as they passed into the cloud;
35 Lè sa a, yo tande yon vwa ki soti nan nwaj la ki di: Moun sa a se pitit mwen, moun mwen chwazi a. Koute li!
and from the cloud came a voice which said – ‘This is my Son, the Chosen One; him you must hear.’
36 Apre vwa a fin pale, Jezi te pou kont li ankò. Disip yo te fèmen bouch yo sou sa. Lè sa a, yo pa t' rakonte pesonn sa yo te wè.
And, as the voice ceased, Jesus was found alone. The apostles kept silence, and told no one about any of the things that they had seen.
37 Nan denmen, yo desann soti sou mòn lan. Yon gwo foul moun te vin kontre Jezi.
The next day, when they had come down from the mountain, a great crowd met Jesus.
38 Nan mitan foul la, yon nonm pran rele: Mèt, tanpri, voye je ou sou pitit gason m' lan. Souple, se yon sèl la mwen genyen.
And just then a man in the crowd shouted out, ‘Teacher, I entreat you to look at my son, for he is my only child;
39 Li gen yon move lespri ki konn pran l', lè konsa lespri a fè l' bay yon sèl rèl, li souke l' byen souke, li fè bouch li kimen. Se pa ti maltrete li maltrete ti bway la. Epi se tout yon traka lè pou l' soti sou li.
all at once a spirit will seize him, suddenly shriek out, and throw him into convulsions until he foams, and will leave him only when he is utterly exhausted.
40 Mwen te mande disip ou yo pou yo te chase move lespri a, men yo pa t' kapab.
I entreated your disciples to drive the spirit out, but they could not.’
41 Jezi reponn: Ala moun san konfyans nan Bondye! Ala move moun! Jouk kilè pou m' rete nan mitan nou? Jouk kilè pou m' sipòte nou? Mennen ti bway la isit.
‘Faithless and perverse generation!’ Jesus exclaimed, ‘How long must I be with you and have patience with you? Lead your son here.’
42 Pandan yo t'ap mennen ti bway la vini move lespri a fese l' atè, li souke l' byen souke. Men, Jezi pale byen fò avèk move lespri a. Li geri pitit la, li renmèt li bay papa li.
While the boy was coming up to Jesus, the demon dashed him down and threw him into convulsions. But Jesus rebuked the foul spirit, and cured the boy, and gave him back to his father.
43 Tout moun te sezi pou wè jan Bondye gen pouvwa. Pandan moun yo te nan ladmirasyon pou tou sa Jezi t'ap fè konsa, Jezi di disip li yo:
And all present were struck with awe at the majesty of God. In the midst of the general astonishment at all that Jesus was doing, he said to his disciples,
44 Fè sa antre nan tèt nou byen: Mwen menm, Moun Bondye voye nan lachè a, mwen gen pou m' tonbe anba men lèzòm.
‘Listen carefully to my words. For the Son of Man is destined to be betrayed into the hands of his fellow men.’
45 Men, disip yo pa t' konprann pawòl la; sans li te kache pou yo, yo pa t' ka konnen sa sa te vle di: epi yo te pè poze l' keksyon sou sa tou.
But the disciples did not understand the meaning of this; it had been concealed from them so that they did not see it, and they were afraid to question him as to what he meant.
46 Apre sa, disip yo t'ap diskite yonn ak lòt pou konnen kilès nan yo ki te pi grannèg.
A discussion arose among the disciples as to which of them was the greatest;
47 Jezi vin konnen lide ki te nan tèt yo: li pran yon timoun piti li mete l' bò kote li.
and Jesus, knowing of the discussion that was occupying their thoughts, took hold of a little child, and placed it beside him,
48 Epi li di yo: Nenpòt moun ki resevwa timoun sa a poutèt mwen, se mwen menm menm li resevwa. Nenpòt moun ki resevwa m', li resevwa moun ki voye m' lan tou. Moun ki pi piti nan mitan nou tout la a, se li ki pi grannèg.
and then said to them, ‘Anyone who, for the sake of my name, welcomes even this little child is welcoming me; and anyone who welcomes me is welcoming him who sent me as his messenger. For whoever is least among you all – that person is great.’
49 Jan pran lapawòl, li di: Mèt, nou te wè yon nonm ki pran non ou pou chase move lespri. Nou te vle anpeche l' fè sa paske li pa t'ap mache avèk nou.
John said, ‘Sir, we saw a man driving out demons by using your name, and we tried to prevent him, because he does not follow you with us.’
50 Jezi reponn li: Kite l' non. Moun ki pa kont ou, se moun pa ou li ye.
‘None of you must prevent him,’ Jesus said to John, ‘whoever is not against you is for you.’
51 Dat pou Jezi te moute nan syèl la t'ap pwoche. Lè sa a li pran desizyon l', li pran chemen Jerizalèm.
As the days before his being taken up to heaven were growing few, Jesus set his face resolutely in the direction of Jerusalem; and he sent on messengers in advance.
52 Li voye kèk mesaje devan. Yo pati. Yo antre nan yon bouk peyi Samari pou pare yon kote pou Jezi desann.
On their way, they went into a Samaritan village to make preparations for him,
53 Men, moun yo pa t' vle resevwa l', paske li tapral Jerizalèm.
but the people there did not welcome him, because his face was set in the direction of Jerusalem.
54 Lè Jak ak Jan, de nan disip yo, wè sa, yo di li: Mèt, ou pa ta vle nou bay lòd pou dife nan syèl la desann fin ak yo?
When James and John saw this, they said, ‘Master, do you wish us to call for fire to come down from the heavens and consume them?’
55 Jezi vire bò kote yo, li pale byen sèvè ak yo.
But Jesus turned and rebuked them.
56 Apre sa, y' ale nan yon lòt bouk.
And they made their way to another village.
57 Pandan yo t'ap mache, yon nonm di Jezi konsa: M'ap swiv ou tout kote ou prale.
And, while they were on their way, a man said to Jesus, ‘I will follow you wherever you go.’
58 Jezi reponn li: Chat mawon gen twou yo, zwezo nan syèl la gen nich yo tou. Men, mwen menm, Moun Bondye voye nan lachè a, mwen pa gen kote pou m' poze tèt mwen.
‘Foxes have holes,’ he replied, ‘and wild birds their nests, but the Son of Man has nowhere to lay his head.’
59 Jezi di yon lòt: Swiv mwen. Men, nonm lan reponn li: Mèt, pèmèt mwen al antere papa m' anvan.
To another man Jesus said, ‘Follow me.’ ‘Let me first go and bury my father,’ said the man.
60 Men, Jezi di li: Kite moun mouri antere moun mouri yo. Ou menm, al fè konnen gouvènman Bondye a.
But Jesus said, ‘Leave the dead to bury their dead; but go yourself and carry far and wide the news of the kingdom of God.’
61 Yon lòt di l' ankò: M'ap swiv ou wi, Mèt. Men, kite m' al di moun lakay mwen yo orevwa.
‘Master,’ said another, ‘I will follow you; but first let me say goodbye to my family.’
62 Jezi reponn li: Moun ki mete men nan yon travay, epi k'ap vire tèt gade dèyè, moun konsa pa ka sèvi nan peyi kote Bondye Wa a.
But Jesus answered, ‘No one who looks back, after putting their hand to the plough, is fitted for the kingdom of God.’
