Mak 8
1 Menm epòk sa a, yon gwo foul moun te sanble ankò. Yo pa t' gen anyen pou yo manje. Jezi rele disip li yo, li di yo konsa:
About that time, when there was again a great crowd of people who had nothing to eat, Jesus called his disciples to him, and said,
2 -Kè m' fè m' mal pou moun sa yo. Sa fè twa jou depi yo la avè m', yo fin manje tou sa yo te pote.
‘My heart is moved at the sight of all these people, for they have already been with me three days and they have nothing to eat;
3 Si m' voye yo al lakay yo konsa san manje, y'a tonbe feblès nan chemen paske gen ladan yo ki soti byen lwen.
and if I send them away to their homes hungry, they will break down on the way; and some of them have come a long distance.’
4 Disip li yo reponn li: -Nan dezè sa a, ki bò poun jwenn pen pou plen vant tout moun sa yo?
‘Where will it be possible,’ his disciples answered, ‘to get sufficient bread for these people in this lonely place?’
5 Jezi mande yo: -Konbe pen nou gen la a? Yo reponn: -Nou gen sèt pen.
‘How many loaves have you?’ he asked. ‘Seven,’ they answered.
6 Lè sa a, li fè foul moun yo chita atè; li pran sèt pen yo; li di Bondye mèsi, li kase yo an moso, li renmèt yo bay disip li yo pou yo mache bay tout moun. Disip yo mache bay tout moun pen.
Jesus told the crowd to sit down on the ground. Then he took the seven loaves, and, after saying the thanksgiving, broke them, and gave them to his disciples to serve out; and they served them out to the crowd.
7 Te gen kèk ti pwason la tou. Jezi di Bondye mèsi pou yo tou, li mande disip li yo mache bay tout foul moun yo.
They had also a few small fish; and, after he had said the blessing, he told the disciples to serve out these as well.
8 Tout moun te manje vant plen. Yo plen sèt panyen pote ale avèk moso ki te rete.
The people had sufficient to eat, and they picked up seven baskets full of the broken pieces that were left.
9 Te gen katmil (4.000) moun konsa antou. Apre sa, Jezi voye yo ale.
There were about four thousand people. Then Jesus dismissed them.
10 Touswit apre sa, li moute nan kannòt la avèk disip li yo, li ale nan yon peyi yo rele Dalmanouta.
Immediately afterwards, getting into the boat with his disciples, Jesus went to the district of Dalmanutha.
11 Farizyen yo vin rive. Yo tanmen diskite avèk Jezi: yo te vle pran li nan pèlen. Yo mande l' pou l' fè yon mirak ki pou moutre se Bondye ki ba li tout pouvwa sa a.
Here the Pharisees came out, and began to argue with Jesus, asking him for some sign from the heavens, to test him.
12 Jezi bay yon gwo soupi nan kè l', li di yo konsa: -Poukisa moun alèkile yo renmen mande mirak konsa? Se vre wi sa m'ap di nou la a: yo p'ap jwenn okenn mirak.
Sighing deeply, Jesus said, ‘Why does this generation ask for a sign? I tell you, no sign will be given it.’
13 Apre sa, li vire do l' ba yo, li tounen nan kannòt la; li pati pou lòt bò lanmè a.
So he left them to themselves, and, getting into the boat again, went away to the opposite shore.
14 Men, disip yo te bliye pran lòt pen: yo te gen yon sèl grenn pen avè yo nan kannòt la.
Now the disciples had forgotten to take any bread with them, one loaf being all that they had in the boat.
15 Jezi ba yo lòd sa a: -Fè atansyon. Pran prekosyon nou avèk ledven farizyen yo ansanm avèk ledven Ewòd la.
So Jesus gave them this warning. ‘Take care,’ he said, ‘beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and the leaven of Herod.’
16 Disip yo pran pale pou kont yo, yonn t'ap di lòt: -Se paske nou pa gen pen kifè l' di nou sa.
They began talking to one another about their being short of bread;
17 Jezi vin konnen sa yo t'ap di konsa. Li mande yo: -Poukisa n'ap di: se paske nou pa gen pen? Se konnen nou pa konnen? Nou poko ka konprann toujou? Se bouche lespri nou bouche konsa?
and, noticing this, Jesus said to them, ‘Why are you talking about your being short of bread? Don’t you yet see or understand? Are your minds still so slow or comprehension?
18 Gen lè nou pa wè nan je nou? Nou pa tande nan zòrèy nou? Se bliye nou gen tan bliye?
Though you have eyes, do you not see? And though you have ears, do you not hear? Don’t you remember,
19 Lè m' te separe senk pen bay senkmil (5,000) moun yo, konbe panyen plen moso nou te pote ale? Yo reponn li: -Douz panyen.
when I broke up the five loaves for the five thousand, how many baskets of broken pieces you picked up?’ ‘Twelve,’ they said.
20 Jezi mande yo anko: -Lè m' te separe sèt pen bay katmil (4.000) moun yo, konbe panyen plen moso nou te pote ale? Yo reponn li: -Sèt panyen.
‘And when the seven for the four thousand, how many basketfuls of broken pieces did you pick up?’ ‘Seven,’ they said.
21 Lè sa a li di yo: -Nou pa konprann toujou?
‘Don’t you understand now?’ he repeated.
22 Apre sa, y' ale Betsayda. Yo mennen yon nonm avèg bay Jezi. Yo mande li pou l' te manyen li.
They came to Bethsaida. There some people brought a blind man to Jesus, and begged him to touch him.
23 Jezi pran men avèg la, li mennen l' soti nan bouk la. Li pran ti gout krache, li mete nan je avèg la. Apre sa, li mete men l' sou tèt avèg la: Li mande li: -Eske ou wè kichòy?
Taking the blind man’s hand, Jesus led him to the outskirts of the village, and, when he had put saliva on the man’s eyes, he placed his hands on him, and asked him, ‘Do you see anything?’
24 Avèg la louvri je l', li di: -Mwen wè moun k'ap mache; yo sanble pyebwa.
The man looked up, and said, ‘I see the people, for, as they walk about, they look to me like trees.’
25 Jezi remete men l' ankò nan je l' yo. Lè sa a, avèg la wè klè nèt. Li te geri, li te wè tout bagay klè.
Then Jesus again placed his hands on the man’s eyes; and the man saw clearly, his sight was restored, and he saw everything with perfect distinctness.
26 Jezi voye l' al lakay li, li di l' konsa: -Pa antre nan bouk la.
Jesus sent him to his home, and said, ‘Do not go even into the village.’
27 Jezi pati apre sa avèk disip li yo; li ale nan tout bouk ki te nan rejyon Sezare Filip la. Antan yo t'ap mache, li poze yo keksyon sa a: -Ki moun yo di mwen ye en?
Afterwards Jesus and his disciples went into the villages round Caesarea Philippi; and on the way he asked his disciples this question – ‘Who do people say that I am?’
28 Yo reponn li: -Gen moun ki di se Jan Batis ou ye. Gen lòt ki di ou se Eli; gen lòt ankò ki di ou se yonn nan pwofèt yo.
‘John the Baptist,’ they answered, ‘but others say Elijah, while others say one of the prophets.’
29 Li mande yo ankò: -Bon, nou menm, ki moun nou di mwen ye? Pyè reponn li: -Ou se Kris la.
‘But you,’ he asked, ‘who do you say that I am?’ To this Peter replied, ‘You are the Christ.’
30 Lè sa a, Jezi ba yo lòd byen sevè pou yo pa di pèsonn sa.
At which Jesus charged them not to say this about him to anyone.
31 Apre sa, li kòmanse di disip li yo yon bann bagay. Li di yo konsa: -Mwen menm, Moun Bondye voye nan lachè a, mwen gen pou m' soufri anpil. Chèf fanmi yo, chèf prèt yo, dirèktè lalwa yo, yo yonn p'ap vle wè mwen. Y'ap fè touye m'. Men sou twa jou, mwen gen pou m' leve soti vivan pami mò yo.
Then he began to teach them that the Son of Man must undergo much suffering, and that he must be rejected by the elders, and the chief priests, and the teachers of the Law, and be put to death, and rise again after three days.
32 Li t'ap pale konsa aklè ak yo. Pyè rele l' sou kote, li di li: -Pa pale konsa non.
He said all this quite openly. But Peter took Jesus aside, and began to rebuke him.
33 Men Jezi vire tèt li, li gade disip li yo. Li pale sevè ak Pyè, li di li konsa: -Wete kò ou sou mwen, Satan! Paske, lide ou pa sou sa Bondye vle, men sou sa lèzòm ta vle.
Jesus, however, turning round and seeing his disciples, rebuked Peter. ‘Out of my sight, Satan!’ he exclaimed. ‘For you look at things, not as God does, but as people do.’
34 Lè sa a Jezi rele foul moun yo ansanm avèk disip li yo, li di yo konsa: -Si yon moun vle mache dèyè m', se pou l' bliye tèt li, se pou l' chaje kwa l' sou zepòl li epi swiv mwen.
Calling the people and his disciples to him, Jesus said, ‘If anyone wishes to walk in my steps, they must renounce self, take up their cross, and follow me.
35 Paske, moun ki ta vle sove lavi l' va pèdi li. Men, moun ki va pèdi lavi l' poutèt mwen ak bon nouvèl la, li va sove li.
For whoever wishes to save their life will lose it, and whoever, for my sake and for the sake of the good news, will lose their life will save it.
36 Kisa sa ta sèvi yon moun pou li ta genyen lemonn antye si l' pèdi lavi li?
What good is it to a person to gain the whole world and forfeit their life?
37 Ou ankò, kisa yon nonm kapab bay pou l' gen lavi?
For what could a person give that is of equal value with their life?
38 Si yon moun wont di se moun mwen li ye, si li wont pale pawòl mwen nan mitan bann moun alèkile yo ki vire do bay Bondye pou viv nan peche, enben, mwen menm tou, Moun Bondye voye nan lachè a, lè m'a tounen avèk zanj Bondye yo nan tout bèl pouvwa Papa m' lan, m'a wont pran li pou moun pa m' tou.
Whoever is ashamed of me and of my teaching, in this unfaithful and wicked generation, of them will the Son of Man be ashamed, when he comes in his Father’s glory with the holy angels.’
