Mak 11
1 Yo t'ap pwoche bò Jerizalèm, bò bouk Betfaje ak Betani, yo te rive sou mòn Oliv l'a. Lè sa a, Jezi voye de nan disip li yo.
When they had almost reached Jerusalem, as far as Bethphage and Bethany, near the Mount of Olives, Jesus sent on two of his disciples.
2 Li di yo: -Ale nan bouk ki devan nou an. Lè n'a rive, n'a jwenn yon jenn ti bourik mare. Pesonn poko janm moute sou li. Lage l', mennen l' ban mwen.
‘Go to the village facing you,’ he said, ‘and, as soon as you get there, you will find a foal tethered, which no one has ever ridden; untie it, and bring it.
3 Nenpòt moun ki mande nou poukisa n'ap fè sa, nou mèt reponn: Se Mèt la ki bezwen li. L'ap voye ti bourik la tounen touswit.
And, if anyone says to you “Why are you doing that?”, say “The Master wants it, and will be sure to send it back here at once.”’
4 Lè disip yo ale, yo jwenn jenn ti bourik la mare deyò nan lari a, devan pòt yon kay. Yo lage li.
The two disciples went, and, finding a foal tethered outside a door in the street, they untied it.
5 Kèk moun ki te la di yo konsa: -Sa n'ap fè la a? Pouki n'ap lage ti bourik la?
Some of the bystanders said to them, ‘What are you doing, untying the foal?’
6 Disip yo reponn jan Jezi te di yo reponn lan. Epi moun yo kite yo ale.
And the two disciples answered as Jesus had told them; and they allowed them to go.
7 Yo mennen ti bourik la bay Jezi; yo mete rad sou do li, epi Jezi moute chita.
Then they brought the foal to Jesus, and, when they had laid their cloaks on it, he seated himself on it.
8 Anpil moun te tann rad yo atè sou tout chemen an. Gen lòt ki te koupe branch bwa nan jaden pou mete atè nan chemen an.
Many of the people spread their cloaks on the road, while some strewed boughs which they had cut from the fields;
9 Ni moun ki t'ap mache devan Jezi yo, ni moun ki t'ap mache dèyè l' yo, yo tout t'ap rele byen fò: -Lwanj pou Bondye! Benediksyon pou moun ki vini nan non Mèt la.
and those who led the way, as well as those who followed, kept shouting, ‘God save him! Blessed is He who comes in the name of the Lord!
10 Wi, benediksyon pou gouvènman k'ap vini an, pou gouvènman wa David, papa nou. Lwanj pou Bondye jouk anwo nan syèl la!
Blessed is the coming kingdom of our father David! God save him from on high!’
11 Jezi antre lavil Jerizalèm; li ale nan tanp lan. Li voye je l' sou tout bagay. Apre sa, li ale Betani avèk douz disip li yo paske li te fin ta.
Jesus entered Jerusalem, and went into the Temple Courts; and, after looking round at everything, as it was already late, he went out to Bethany with the Twelve.
12 Nan denmen, antan yo t'ap soti Betani, Jezi te grangou.
The next day, after they had left Bethany, Jesus became hungry;
13 Depi byen lwen, li wè yon pye fig frans ki te plen fèy. li al wè si li ta jwenn kèk fig frans sou li. Men, lè li rive kote l', se fèy ase li jwenn, paske se pa t' sezon fig frans.
and, noticing a fig tree at a distance in leaf, he went to it to see if by any chance he could find something on it; but, on coming up to it, he found nothing but leaves, for it was not the season for figs.
14 Lè sa a, Jezi pale ak pye fig frans lan, li di li: -Pesonn p'ap janm manje fig ou donnen ankò. Disip yo te tande sa l' te di a. (aiōn g165)
So, addressing the tree, he exclaimed, ‘May no one ever again eat of your fruit!’ And his disciples heard what he said. (aiōn g165)
15 Apre sa, yo rive Jerizalèm, Jezi antre nan tanp lan. Li pran chase tout moun ki t'ap vann ak tout moun ki t'ap achte nan tanp lan. Li chavire tab moun ki t'ap chanje lajan yo ansanm ak chèz moun ki t'ap vann pijon yo.
They came to Jerusalem. Jesus went into the Temple Courts, and began to drive out those who were buying and selling there. He overturned the tables of the money changers, and the seats of the pigeon-dealers,
16 Li pa t' pèmèt pesonn travèse tanp lan ak bagay nan men yo.
and would not allow anyone to carry anything across the Temple Courts.
17 Li t'ap moutre moun yo anpil bagay, li di yo: -Men sa ki ekri, pa vre: y'a rele kay mwen an kay kote moun tout nasyon ka vin lapriyè. Men nou menm, nou fè l' tounen yon kachèt pou vòlò.
Then he began to teach. ‘Does not scripture say,’ he asked, ‘“My house will be called a house of prayer for all the nations”? But you have made it a den of robbers.’
18 Lè chèf prèt yo avèk dirèktè lalwa yo tande sa, yo t'ap chache yon jan pou yo fè touye l'; paske yo te vin pè l', lèfini, pawòl li t'ap moutre moun yo te aji anpil sou foul moun yo.
Now the chief priests and the teachers of the Law heard this and began to look for some way of putting Jesus to death; for they were afraid of him, since all the people were greatly impressed by his teaching.
19 Lè solèy fin kouche, Jezi soti kite lavil la ansanm ak disip li yo.
As soon as evening fell, Jesus and his disciples went out of the city.
20 Nan denmen maten, byen bonè, antan yo t'ap pase sou wout la, disip yo wè pye fig frans la cheche jouk nan rasen.
As they passed by early in the morning, they noticed that the fig tree was withered up from the roots.
21 Pyè vin chonje sak te pase. Li di Jezi konsa: -Mèt, gade pye fig frans ou te madichonnen an. Li cheche wi.
Then Peter recalled what had occurred. ‘Look, Rabbi,’ he exclaimed, ‘the fig tree which you doomed is withered up!’
22 Lè sa a, Jezi pran lapawòl, li di yo: -Se pou nou toujou gen konfyans nan Bondye.
‘Have faith in God!’ replied Jesus.
23 Sa m'ap di nou la a, se vre wi: si yon moun di mòn sa a: Wete kò ou la, al jete ou nan lanmè, si l' pa gen doutans nan kè l' menm, si l' gen fèm konviksyon sa l' di a gen pou rive, la wè l' rive vre.
‘I tell you that if anyone should say to this hill “Be lifted up and hurled into the sea!”, without ever a doubt in his mind, but in the faith that what he says will be done, he would find that it would be.
24 Se pou sa mwen di nou: Tou sa n'ap mande lè n'ap lapriyè, si nou gen fèm konviksyon nou resevwa l' deja, n'a wè sa rive vre.
And therefore I say to you “Have faith that whatever you ask for in prayer is already granted you, and you will find that it will be.”
25 Lè nou kanpe poun lapriyè, si nou gen yon moun nan kè nou, padonnen l', pou Papa nou ki nan syèl la ka padonnen peche nou yo tou.
‘And, whenever you stand up to pray, forgive any grievance that you have against anyone, so that your Father who is in heaven also may forgive you your offences.’
26 Men, si nou pa padonnen lòt moun yo, Papa nou ki nan syèl la p'ap padonnen peche nou yo tou.
27 Se konsa, yo tounen lavil Jerizalèm ankò. Pandan Jezi t'ap pwonmennen nan tanp lan, chèf prèt yo, dirèktè lalwa yo ak chèf fanmi yo te vin bò kote li.
They came to Jerusalem again. While Jesus was walking about in the Temple Courts, the chief priests, the teachers of the Law, and the elders came up to him.
28 Yo di l' konsa: -Ki dwa ou genyen pou w'ap fè tout bagay sa yo? Kilès ki ba ou otorite pou fè yo?
‘What authority have you to do these things?’ they said. ‘Who gave you the authority to do them?’
29 Jezi reponn yo: -Mwen pral poze nou yon sèl keksyon tou. Si nou reponn mwen, m'a di nou ak ki otorite m'ap fè bagay sa yo.
‘I will put one question to you,’ said Jesus. ‘Answer me that, and then I will tell you what authority I have to act as I do.
30 Ki moun ki te voye Jan batize moun: Bondye osinon moun? Reponn mwen non.
It is about John’s baptism. Was it of divine or human origin? Answer me that.’
31 Men, yonn t'ap di lòt konsa: -Si nou reponn: Se Bondye ki voye l', la mande nou poukisa nou pa t' kwè li.
They began arguing together. ‘If we say “divine,” he will say “Why then didn’t you believe him?”
32 Si nou reponn: Se moun ki voye l'... oum! Yo te pè pèp la, paske tout moun sa yo te pran Jan Batis pou yon bon pwofèt.
Yet can we say “human”?’ They were afraid of the people, for everyone regarded John as undoubtedly a prophet.
33 Lè sa a yo reponn Jezi: -Nou pa konnen. Jezi di yo: -Enben, mwen menm tou, mwen p'ap di nou avèk ki otorite mwen fè bagay sa yo.
So their answer to Jesus was – ‘We do not know.’ ‘Then I,’ replied Jesus, ‘refuse to tell you what authority I have to do these things.’
