Mak 3
1 Apre sa, Jezi tounen ankò nan sinagòg la. Te gen yon nonm ki te gen yon men pòk nan asanble a.
On another occasion Jesus went in to a synagogue, where there was a man whose hand was withered.
2 Moun ki te la yo t'ap veye Jezi pou wè si li t'ap geri men nonm lan jou repo a, paske yo te vle akize li.
And they watched Jesus closely, to see if he would cure the man on the Sabbath, so that they might have a charge to bring against him.
3 Jezi di nonm men pòk la: -Leve, vin kanpe la a nan mitan nou.
‘Stand out in the middle,’ Jesus said to the man with the withered hand;
4 Epi li di moun ki t'ap gade l' yo: -Kisa lalwa nou an pèmèt moun fè jou repo a? Byen osinon mal? Sove lavi yon nonm osinon kite l' mouri? Men yo pa louvri bouch yo reponn li.
and to the people he said, ‘Is it allowable to do good at the Sabbath – or harm? To save a life, or destroy it?’
5 Lè sa a Jezi fache, li pwonmennen je l' sou yo tout: sa te fè l' lapenn pou l' te wè jan yo te gen move santiman. Epi li di nonm lan konsa: -Lonje men ou. Nonm lan lonje men li. Latou men an geri.
As they remained silent, Jesus looked round at them in anger, grieving at the hardness of their hearts, and said to the man, ‘Stretch out your hand.’ The man stretched it out; and his hand had become sound.
6 Menm lè a, farizyen yo soti nan sinagòg la, y' al met tèt yo ansanm ak patizan Ewòd yo pou yo wè ki jan pou yo touye Jezi.
Immediately on leaving the synagogue, the Pharisees and the Herodians united in laying a plot against Jesus, to put him to death.
7 Jezi wete kò l' ak disip li yo, li ale bò lanmè Galile a. Yon gwo foul moun t'ap swiv li. Yo te soti toupatou: te gen moun Galile, moun Jide,
Then Jesus went away with his disciples to the sea, followed by a great number of people from Galilee.
8 moun lavil Jerizalèm, moun peyi Idime, moun peyi lòt bò larivyè Jouden an, moun nan vwazenaj lavil Tir ak lavil Sidon. Tout foul pèp sa a te vin jwenn li paske yo te tande tou sa l' t'ap fè.
A great number, hearing of all that he was doing, came to him from Judea, from Jerusalem, from Edom, from beyond the Jordan, and from the country round Tyre and Sidon.
9 Jezi mande disip li yo pou yo pare yon kannòt pou li, pou foul la pa t' toufe l' twòp.
So Jesus told his disciples to keep a small boat close by, so that the crowd would not crush him.
10 Paske, jan li t'ap geri anpil moun, tout malad yo te vide sou li pou yo te manyen li.
For he had cured many of them, and so people kept crowding around him, so all who were sick might touch him.
11 Chak fwa move lespri yo te wè l', yo te tonbe nan pye l' ap plede rele: -Ou se pitit Bondye a.
The foul spirits, too, whenever they caught sight of him, flung themselves down before him, and screamed out, ‘You are the Son of God’!
12 Men Jezi te pale sevè ak move lespri yo pou yo pa t' di ki moun li te ye.
But he repeatedly warned them not to make him known.
13 Apre sa, li moute sou yon ti mòn. Li rele moun li te bezwen yo. Yo vin jwenn li.
Jesus made his way up the hill, and called those whom he wished; and they went to him.
14 Li chwazi douz nan yo pou mache ak li. Li rele yo apòt, epi li voye yo mache bay mesaj la.
He appointed twelve – whom he also named “apostles” – so that they might be with him, and that he might send them out as his messengers, to preach,
15 Li te ba yo pouvwa pou chase mouve lespri.
and with power to drive out demons.
16 Men douz moun li te chwazi yo: Se te Simon (Jezi te ba li yon ti non Pyè),
So he appointed the Twelve – Peter (which was the name that Jesus gave to Simon),
17 de pitit Zebede yo: Jak ak Jan, frè l' la. Jezi te ba yo yon ti non Boanèj, ki vle di Pitit loraj.
James, the son of Zebedee, and his brother John (to whom he gave the name of Boanerges, which means the Thunderers),
18 Te gen Andre, Filip, Batèlmi, Matye, Toma, Jak, pitit Alfe a, Tade, Simon, patriyòt la,
Andrew, Philip, Bartholomew, Matthew, Thomas, James the son of Alphaeus, Thaddaeus, Simon the Zealot,
19 ak Jida Iskariòt, nonm ki te lage Jezi nan men lènmi li yo.
and Judas Iscariot, the man who betrayed him.
20 Apre sa, Jezi tounen lakay li. Te sitèlman gen moun ki te sanble ankò, Jezi ak disip li yo pa t' menm gen tan pou yo te manje.
Jesus went into a house; and again a crowd collected, so that they were not even able to eat their food.
21 Lè fanmi Jezi yo tande sa, yo soti pou yo vin chache l' paske tout moun t'ap di: -Nonm sa a fou.
When his relatives heard of it, they went to take charge of him, for they said that he was out of his mind.
22 Dirèktè lalwa ki te desann soti Jerizalèm yo t'ap di konsa: -Li gen Bèlzeboul, gwo wa dyab la, sou li. Yo t'ap di tou: -Se chèf move lespri yo menm ki ba li pouvwa pou chase move lespri yo.
The teachers of the Law, who had come down from Jerusalem, said, ‘He has Beelzebul in him! He drives the demons out by the help of their chief.’
23 Jezi rele yo, li di yo an parabòl: -Ki jan Satan fè ap chase Satan?
So Jesus called them to him, and answered them in parables, ‘How can Satan drive out Satan?
24 Si yon peyi gen divizyon ladan l' pou moun yo ap goumen yonn ak lòt, peyi sa a pa la pou lontan.
When a kingdom is divided against itself, it cannot last;
25 Si gen divizyon nan yon fanmi, fanmi sa a pa la pou lontan.
and when a household is divided against itself, it will not be able to last.
26 Se sak fè, si Satan konbat pwòp tèt li, si gen divizyon nan peyi Satan, pouvwa Satan an pa la pou lontan. Talè konsa l'ap fini.
So, if Satan is in revolt against himself and is divided, he cannot last – his end has come!
27 Pesonn pa kapab antre lakay yon nonm vanyan pou piye sa l' genyen, si li pa mare nonm vanyan an anvan. Lè li fin mare l', la piye kay la.
‘No man who has broken into a strong man’s house can carry off his goods, without first tying him up; and not until then will he plunder his house.
28 Se vre wi, sa m'ap di nou la a: Bondye va padonnen lèzòm tout peche y'a fè, ak tout move pawòl ki va soti nan bouch yo.
I tell you that people will be forgiven everything – their sins, and all the slanders that they utter;
30 Jezi te pale konsa paske yo t'ap di-Li gen yon move lespri sou li.
This was said in reply to the charge that he had a foul spirit in him.
31 Apre sa, manman Jezi ak frè l' yo vin rive. Yo kanpe deyò a, yo fè rele li.
His mother and his brothers came, and stood outside, and sent to ask him to come to them.
32 Jezi te nan mitan yon foul moun ki te chita. Yo di l' konsa: -Men manman ou ak frè ou yo deyò a, y'ap mande pou ou.
There was a crowd sitting round Jesus, and some of them said to him, ‘Look, your mother and your brothers are outside, asking for you.’
33 Li reponn yo: -Kilès ki manman m', kilès ki frè mwen?
‘Who is my mother? And my brothers?’ was his reply.
34 Epi li pwonmennen je l' sou moun ki te chita sou kote l' yo, li di konsa: -Gade: men manman m', men frè m' yo.
Then he looked around on the people sitting in a circle round him, and said, ‘Here are my mother and my brothers!
35 Paske, tout moun ki fè sa Bondye mande yo fè, se moun sa yo ki frè m', ki sè m', ki manman mwen.
Whoever does the will of God is my brother and sister and mother.’
