Matye 10
1 Jezi rele douz disip li yo. Li ba yo pouvwa pou chase move lespri ak pouvwa pou geri tout kalite maladi ak enfimite.
Calling his twelve Disciples to him, Jesus gave them authority over foul spirits, so that they could drive them out, as well as the power of curing every kind of disease and every kind of sickness.
2 Men non douz apòt yo: Premye a se te Simon (li te ba l' yon ti non: Pyè) ak Andre, frè li. Te gen Jak, pitit Zebede, ak Jan, frè li.
The names of the twelve apostles are these, First Simon, also known as Peter, and his brother Andrew; James the son of Zebedee, and his brother John;
3 Te gen Filip ak Batèlmi, Toma ak Matye, pèseptè kontribisyon an, Jak, pitit Alfe a, ak Tade.
Philip and Bartholomew; Thomas and Matthew the tax-gather; James the son of Alphaeus, and Thaddaeus;
4 Te gen Simon, patriyòt la ak Jida Iskariòt, nonm ki te lage Jezi nan men lènmi l' yo.
Simon the Zealot, and Judas Iscariot – the apostle who betrayed him.
5 Jezi voye douz mesye yo ale, li ba yo lòd sa a: Piga n' ale nan peyi moun lòt nasyon yo. Pa antre nan lavil Samari yo.
These twelve Jesus sent out as his messengers, after giving them these instructions – ‘Do not go to the Gentiles, nor enter any Samaritan town,
6 Okontrè, ale tout kote n'a jwenn moun ras Izrayèl yo ki pèdi.
but make your way rather to the lost sheep of Israel.
7 Sou tout wout nou, bay mesaj sa a: Gouvènman Wa ki nan syèl la prèt pou rive.
On your way proclaim that the kingdom of heaven is at hand.
8 Geri moun ki malad. Fè moun mouri yo leve. Geri moun ki malad ak lalèp. Chase move lespri yo. Se gratis nou resevwa, se gratis tou pou nou bay.
Cure the sick, raise the dead, make the lepers clean, drive out demons. You have received free of cost, give free of cost.
9 Pa pran ni lò, ni lajan, ni kòb kwiv mete nan pòch nou.
Do not provide yourselves with gold, or silver, or coins in your purses;
10 Nou pa bezwen pote sak pou vwayaj la. Pa mete de rad sou nou, pa pran ni soulye, ni baton. Paske, yon travayè merite pou yo ba l' manje.
not even with a bag for the journey, or a change of clothes, or sandals, or even a staff; for the worker is worth his food.
11 Lè nou rive nan yon lavil, osinon nan yon ti bouk, mande si gen moun ki vle resevwa nou. Rete lakay li jouk lè nou pati.
Whatever town or village you visit, find out who is worthy in that place, and remain there until you leave.
12 Lè n'ap antre nan kay la, n'a di: Benediksyon Bondye sou kay la.
As you enter the house, greet it.
13 Si moun nan kay la resevwa nou, benediksyon nou an va desann sou li. Men, si l' pa vle resevwa nou, benediksyon an va tounen vin jwenn nou.
Then, if the house is worthy, let your blessing rest on it, but, if it is unworthy, let your blessing return on yourselves.
14 Si yo pa vle resevwa nou, si yo pa vle koute pawòl nou, soti nan kay la, osinon nan lavil la, al fè wout nou. Souke pousyè pye nou.
If no one welcomes you, or listens to what you say, as you leave that house or that town, shake off its dust from your feet.
15 Sa m'ap di nou la a, se vre wi: Jou jijman an, y'ap peni moun lavil sa a pi rèd pase moun Sòdòm ak moun Gomò.
I tell you, the doom of the land of Sodom and Gomorrah will be more bearable in the day of judgment than the doom of that town.
16 Gade, mesye! M'ap voye nou tankou mouton nan mitan chen mawon. Se sak fè, se pou nou sou prigad nou tankou pentad, se pou nou inonsan tankou pijon.
‘Remember, I am sending you out as my messengers like sheep among wolves. So be as wise as snakes, and as blameless as doves.
17 Pran prekosyon nou ak tout moun; paske y'a trennen nou devan tribinal, y'a bat nou ak kout fwèt nan sinagòg yo.
Be on your guard against others, for they will betray you to courts of law, and scourge you in their synagogues;
18 y'a fè nou konparèt devan chèf gouvènman ak devan wa poutèt mwen, pou nou kapab sèvi m' temwen devan yo ak devan moun lòt nasyon yo.
and you will be brought before governors and kings for my sake so that you may witness for me before them and the nations.
19 Men, lè y'a mennen nou nan tribinal, pa bat kò nou chache sa n'a gen pou n' di, ni jan n'a gen pou n' pale. Lè lè a va rive, Bondye va mete nan bouch nou sa n'a gen pou n' di.
Whenever they betray you, do not be anxious as to how you will speak or what you will say, for what you will say will be given you at the moment;
20 Paske, se pa nou menm ki va pale, men se Lespri Papa nou an ki va mete pawòl nan bouch nou.
for it will not be you who speak, but the Spirit of your Father that speaks within you.
21 Frè va denonse frè pou fè touye li. Papa va denonse pitit. Pitit va leve kont papa ak manman pou fè touye yo.
Brother will betray brother to death, and the father his child; and children will turn against their parents, and cause them to be put to death;
22 Tout moun pral rayi nou poutèt mwen. Men, moun ki va kenbe fèm jouk sa kaba, se yo ki va sove.
and you will be hated by everyone because of me. Yet the person who endures to the end will be saved.
23 Lè y'a pèsekite nou nan yon lavil, sove ale nan yon lòt. Sa m'ap di nou la a, se vre wi: Moun Bondye voye nan lachè a va gen tan vini anvan n'a fin mache nan tout lavil ki nan peyi Izrayèl la.
But, when they persecute you in one town, escape to the next; for, I tell you, you will not have come to the end of the towns of Israel before the Son of Man comes.
24 Yon elèv pa pi fò pase mèt li. Nitou, yon domestik pa pi grannèg pase patwon li.
A student is not above his teacher, nor a servant above his master.
25 Si yon elèv rive fò tankou mèt li, sa kont pou li; si yon domestik rive tankou patwon li, sa kont pou li. Si yo rele mèt kay la Bèlzeboul, se pa lòt moun nan kay la yo p'ap bay pi move non toujou!
It is enough for a student to be treated like his teacher, and a servant like his master. If the head of the house has been called Beelzebul, how much more the members of his household!
26 Se sak fè nou pa bezwen pè pesonn. Pa gen anyen ki kache ki p'ap dekouvri yon lè. Nanpwen sekrè ki p'ap devwale.
Do not, therefore, be afraid of them. There is nothing concealed which will not be revealed, nor anything hidden which will not become known.
27 Tou sa m'ap di nou nan fènwa, nou menm repete l' gwo lajounen. Tou sa yo di nou nan zòrèy, mache bay li nan tout kalfou.
What I tell you in the dark, say again in the light; and what is whispered in your ear, proclaim on the housetops.
28 Nou pa bezwen pè moun ki kapab touye kò nou, men ki pa kapab touye nanm nou. Se Bondye pou nou pè pito, paske li menm li kapab detwi nanm nou ansanm ak tout kò nou nan lanfè. (Geenna g1067)
Do not be afraid of those who kill the body, but are unable to kill the soul; rather be afraid of him who is able to destroy both soul and body in Gehenna. (Geenna g1067)
29 Eske yo pa vann ti zwazo de pou senk kòb? Malgre sa, pa gen yon sèl ki tonbe atè san Papa nou pa konnen.
Are not two sparrows sold for a one copper coin? Yet not one of them will fall to the ground without your Father’s knowledge.
30 Pou nou menm menm, ata grenn cheve nan tèt nou, yo tout konte.
While as for you, even the hairs of your head are numbered.
31 Se sak fè, nou pa bezwen pè menm: nou vo pi plis pase anpil ti zwazo.
Do not, therefore, be afraid; you are of more value than many sparrows.
32 Moun ki va kanpe pou mwen devan lèzòm, mwen menm tou, m'a kanpe pou li devan Papa m' ki nan syèl la.
Everyone, therefore, who will publicly acknowledge me, I, too, will acknowledge before my Father who is in heaven;
33 Men tou, moun ki va kanpe devan lèzòm pou di li pa konnen m', mwen menm tou, m'a kanpe devan Papa m' ki nan syèl la, m'a di mwen pa konnen l'.
but, if anyone publicly disowns me, I, too, will disown him before my Father who is in heaven.
34 Pa mete nan tèt nou se lapè mwen vin mete sou latè; mwen pa vin mete lapè, men mwen vin mete divizyon.
‘Do not imagine that I have come to bring peace to the earth. I have come to bring, not peace, but the sword.
35 Mwen vin mete divizyon ant pitit gason ak papa yo, ant pitit fi ak manman yo, ant bèlfi ak bèlmè yo.
For I have come to set a man against his father, and a daughter against her mother, and a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law.
36 Se pwòp fanmi nou ki va pi gwo lènmi nou.
A person’s enemies will be the members of their own household.
37 Moun ki renmen papa l' osinon manman l' plis pase m' pa kapab moun pa m'. Moun ki renmen pitit gason l' osinon pitit fi l' plis pase m' pa kapab moun pa m'.
Anyone who loves father or mother more than me is not worthy of me; and anyone who loves son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me.
38 Moun ki pa pran kwa l' pou l' swiv mwen, li pa kapab moun pa m' non plis.
Anyone who does not take their cross and follow in my steps is not worthy of me.
39 Moun k'ap chache asire lavi l' va pèdi li. Men, moun ki va pèdi lavi l' poutèt mwen va jwenn li ankò.
The person who has found their life will lose it, while the person who, for my sake, has lost their life will find it.
40 Moun ki resevwa nou, se mwen menm li resevwa. Moun ki resevwa mwen, li resevwa moun ki voye m' lan tou.
‘Anyone who welcomes you is welcoming me; and anyone who welcomes me is welcoming him who sent me as his messenger.
41 Moun ki resevwa yon pwofèt Bondye paske se pwofèt Bondye li ye, moun sa a va resevwa rekonpans yo bay yon pwofèt. Moun ki resevwa yon nonm k'ap mache dwat devan Bondye paske se yon moun dwat li ye, moun sa a va resevwa rekonpans yo bay yon moun k'ap mache dwat.
The person who welcomes a prophet, because they are a prophet, will receive a prophet’s reward; and anyone who welcomes a good person, because they are a good person, will receive a good person’s reward.
42 Sa m'ap di nou la a, se vre wi: Nenpòt moun ki va bay yonn nan ti piti sa yo menm yon gode dlo frèt paske se disip mwen li ye, moun sa a p'ap pèdi rekonpans li.
And, if anyone gives but a cup of cold water to one of these little ones because they are a disciple, I tell you that they will assuredly not lose their reward.’
