Matye 26
1 Lè Jezi fin di tout pawòl sa yo, li di disip li yo:
When Jesus had finished teaching all of that, he said to his disciples,
2 Nou konnen, nan de jou jwif yo pral fete fèt Delivrans lan. Yo pral lage Moun Bondye voye nan lachè a nan men moun ki pou kloure l' sou kwa a.
‘You know that in two days time the Festival of the Passover will be here; and that the Son of Man is to be given up to be crucified.’
3 Lè sa a, chèf prèt yo ansanm ak chèf fanmi yo ki t'ap dirije pèp la reyini nan palè granprèt yo te rele Kayif la.
Then the chief priests and the elders of the people met in the house of the high priest, who was called Caiaphas,
4 Mesye yo mete tèt yo ansanm pou fè plan pou yo te ka arete Jezi pou yo fè touye li.
and plotted together to arrest Jesus by stealth and put him to death;
5 Yonn t'ap di lòt: Nou pa kapab arete l' pandan fèt la pou sa pa eksite pèp la fè dezòd.
but they said, ‘Not during the Festival, or the people may riot.’
6 Antan Jezi te Betani lakay Simon, nonm ki te gen maladi lalèp la,
After Jesus had reached Bethany, and while he was in the house of Simon the leper,
7 yon fanm pwoche kote li. Li t'ap pote yon ti boutèy fèt an albat plen ak yon odè ki te koute byen chè. Pandan Jezi te chita bò tab la, fanm lan vide tout odè a sou tèt li.
a woman came up to him with an alabaster jar of very costly perfume, and poured the perfume on his head as he sat at the table.
8 Lè disip yo wè sa, yo pa t' kontan menm. Yo di: Pouki tout gaspiyaj sa a?
The disciples were indignant at seeing this. ‘What is this waste for?’ they exclaimed.
9 Yo ta kapab vann odè a byen chè, yo ta bay pòv lajan an.
‘It could have been sold for a large sum, and the money given to poor people.’
10 Jezi vin konnen sa yo t'ap di, li di yo konsa: Poukisa n'ap fè fanm lan tout lapenn sa a? Se yon bèl bagay li fè la a wi pou mwen.
‘Why are you troubling the woman?’ Jesus said, when he noticed it. ‘For this is a beautiful deed that she has done to me.
11 Paske, pòv yo, n'ap toujou genyen yo avèk nou. Men, mwen menm, nou p'ap genyen m' pou tout tan.
You always have the poor with you, but you will not always have me.
12 Lè li vide odè sa a sou kò mwen, li tou benyen m' pou lantèman mwen.
In pouring this perfume on my body, she prepares me for my burial.
13 Sa m'ap di nou la a, se vre wi: Toupatou sou latè, kote y'a anonse bon nouvèl sa a, y'a rakonte tou sa fanm sa a te fè pou yo pa janm bliye li.
I tell you, wherever, in the whole world, this good news is proclaimed, what this woman has done will be told in memory of her.’
14 Lè sa a, yonn nan douz disip yo, nonm yo rele Jida Iskariòt la, al jwenn chèf prèt yo.
It was then that one of the Twelve, named Judas Iscariot, made his way to the chief priests,
15 Li di yo: Kisa n'a ban mwen si m' fè nou pran Jezi? Yo konte trant pyès lajan ba li.
and said ‘What are you willing to give me, if I betray Jesus to you?’ The Priests counted him out thirty pieces of silver as payment.
16 Depi lè sa a, Jida t'ap chache yon bon okazyon pou l' te ba yo Jezi.
So from that time Judas looked for an opportunity to betray Jesus.
17 Premye jou fèt pen san ledven yo, disip yo pwoche bò kote Jezi, yo di li: Ki bò ou ta vle nou pare manje Delivrans lan pou ou?
On the first day of the Festival of the unleavened bread, the disciples came up to Jesus, and said, ‘Where do you wish us to make preparations for you to eat the Passover?’
18 Li reponn yo: Ale lavil la, kay entèl. n'a di l' konsa: Mèt la voye di ou: Lè pa l' la rive, se lakay ou l'ap fete Delivrans lan ansanm ak disip li yo.
‘Go into the city to a certain man,’ he answered, ‘and say to him “The teacher says – My time is near. I will keep the Passover with my disciples at your house.”’
19 Disip yo fè sa Jezi te bay yo lòd fè a, yo pare manje Delivrans lan.
The disciples did as Jesus directed them, and prepared the Passover.
20 Lè solèy fin kouche, Jezi chita bò tab la ak douz disip li yo.
In the evening Jesus took his place with the twelve disciples,
21 Antan yo t'ap manje, Jezi di yo: Sa m'ap di nou la a, se vre wi: yonn nan nou pral trayi mwen.
and, while they were eating, he said, ‘I tell you that one of you will betray me.’
22 Sa te fè disip yo lapenn anpil. Yonn apre lòt yo pran mande li: Eske se mwen menm, Mèt?
In great grief they began to say to him, one by one, ‘Can it be I, Master?’
23 Li reponn yo: Moun ki tranpe pen l' ansanm avè m' nan plat la, se li menm ki pral trayi mwen.
‘The one who dipped his bread beside me in the dish,’ replied Jesus, ‘is the one who will betray me.
24 Moun Bondye voye nan lachè a prale, jan sa te ekri sou li a. Men, malè pou moun k'ap trayi l' la. Li ta pi bon pou moun sa a si li pa t' janm fèt.
True, the Son of Man must go, as scripture says of him, yet alas for that man by whom the Son of Man is being betrayed! For that man it would be better never to have been born!’
25 Jida ki tapral trayi l' la pran lapawòl, li di: Mèt, èske se mwen menm? Jezi reponn li: Se ou ki di li.
Judas, who was betraying him, turned to him and said, ‘Can it be I, Rabbi?’ ‘It is,’ answered Jesus.
26 Antan yo t'ap manje, Jezi pran pen, li di Bondye mèsi, li kase l', li bay disip yo, li di: Pran, manje. Sa se kò mwen.
While they were eating, Jesus took some bread, and, after saying the blessing, broke it and, as he gave it to his disciples, said, ‘Take it and eat it; this is my body.’
27 Apre sa, li pran yon gode diven, li di Bondye mèsi, li pase l' ba yo, li di: Se pou nou tout nou bwè ladan li.
Then he took a cup, and, after saying the thanksgiving, gave it to them, with the words, ‘Drink from it, all of you;
28 Paske, sa se san mwen, san ki siyen kontra Bondye fè a, san ki koule pou anpil moun jwenn padon pou peche yo.
for this is my covenant blood, which is poured out for many for the forgiveness of sins.
29 M'ap di nou sa: Depi jòdi a, mwen p'ap janm bwè diven ankò jouk jou m'a bwè yon lòt diven ansanm ak nou nan peyi kote Papa m' wa a.
I tell you that I will never, after this, drink of this juice of the grape, until that day when I will drink it new with you in the kingdom of my Father.’
30 Apre yo fin chante kantik espesyal pou fèt la, yo soti, y ale sou mòn Oliv la.
They then sang a hymn, and went out to the Mount of Olives.
31 Lè sa a, Jezi di disip li yo: Aswè a menm, nou tout nou pral kouri kite m' pou kont mwen. Paske, men sa ki ekri nan Liv la: M'ap frape gadò mouton yo, epi tout bann mouton yo pral gaye nan bwa.
Then Jesus said to them, ‘Even you will all fall away from me tonight. Scripture says – “I will strike down the shepherd, and the sheep of the flock will be scattered.”
32 Men, apre sa, lè m'a leve soti vivan nan lanmò, mwen pral tann nou nan peyi Galile.
But, after I have risen, I will go before you into Galilee.’
33 Pyè pran lapawòl, li di li: Menm si tout moun ta kouri kite ou pou kont ou, mwen menm, mwen p'ap janm kite ou.
‘If everyone else falls away from you,’ Peter answered, ‘I will never fall away!’
34 Jezi di li: Sa m'ap di ou la a, se vre wi: aswè a menm, anvan kòk chante, ou va gen tan di twa fwa ou pa janm konnen mwen.
‘I tell you,’ replied Jesus, ‘that this very night, before the cock crows, you will disown me three times!’
35 Pyè reponn li: Menm si m' ta dwe mouri avè ou, mwen p'ap janm di mwen pa konnen ou. Tout lòt disip yo t'ap di menm bagay la tou.
‘Even if I must die with you,’ Peter exclaimed, ‘I will never disown you!’ All the disciples spoke in the same way.
36 Apre sa, Jezi ale ak disip yo yon kote yo rele Jetsemane. Li di yo: Chita la. Mwen menm, mwen pral lapriyè pi lwen.
Then Jesus came with them to a garden called Gethsemane, and he said to his disciples, ‘Sit down here while I go and pray over there.’
37 Li pran Pyè ansanm ak de pitit Zebede yo avèk li. Lè sa a, li santi yon lapenn ak yon kè sere ki pran li.
Taking with him Peter and the two sons of Zebedee, he began to show signs of sadness and deep distress of mind.
38 Li di yo: Mwen gen lapenn anpil. Mwen santi se mouri m'ap mouri. Rete la avèk mwen, pa kite dòmi pran nou.
‘I am sad at heart,’ he said, ‘sad even to death; wait here and watch with me.’
39 li al yon ti kras pi lwen, li lage kò l' fas atè, li lapriyè konsa: O Papa mwen. Si sa te ka fèt, wete gode soufrans sa a devan je mwen. Men, se sa ou vle a ki pou fèt, pa sa mwen vle a.
Going on a little further, he threw himself on his face in prayer. ‘My Father,’ he said, ‘if it is possible, let me be spared this cup; only, not as I will, but as you will.’
40 Jezi tounen bò kote twa disip yo, li jwenn yo ap dòmi. Li di Pyè konsa: Kouman? Nou pa t' kapab rete je klè yon ti kadè avèk mwen!
Then he came to his disciples, and found them asleep. ‘What!’ he said to Peter, ‘could none of you watch with me for one hour?
41 Pa kite dòmi pran nou, tande. Lapriyè pou nou pa tonbe anba tantasyon. Lespri nou byen dispoze, men kò nou fèb.
Watch and pray so that you don’t fall into temptation. True, the spirit is eager, but human nature is weak.’
42 Li kite yo, li ale yon dezyèm fwa. Li lapriyè konsa: O Papa m', si se pou m' bwè gode soufrans sa a anvan pou ou wete l' devan je m', ou mèt fè l' jan ou vle a.
Again, a second time, he went away, and prayed. ‘My Father,’ he said, ‘if I cannot be spared this cup, but must drink it, your will be done!’
43 Li tounen, li jwenn disip yo ap dòmi ankò, paske dòmi t'ap kale yo.
And coming back again he found them asleep, for their eyes were heavy.
44 Li kite yo, li ale, li lapriyè yon twazyèm fwa. Li t'ap repete menm pawòl yo.
So he left them, and went away again, and prayed a third time, again saying the same words.
45 Apre sa, li tounen bò kote disip li yo, li di: N'ap dòmi toujou? N'ap poze kò nou? Epi gade, men lè a rive, yo pral lage m', mwen menm Moun Bondye voye nan lachè a, nan men mechan yo.
Then he came to the disciples, and said, ‘Sleep on now, and rest yourselves. Look – my time is close at hand, and the Son of Man is being betrayed into the hands of wicked people.
46 Leve non, ann ale. Men moun k'ap trayi m' lan ap vini.
Up, and let us be going. Look! My betrayer is close at hand.’
47 Jezi t'ap pale toujou lè Jida, yonn nan douz disip yo, vin rive. Li te gen avèk li yon bann moun ki te gen nepe ak baton nan men yo avèk li. Se chèf prèt yo ak chèf fanmi k'ap dirije pèp la ki te voye yo avèk li.
And, while he was still speaking, Judas, who was one of the Twelve, came in sight; and with him was a great crowd of people, with swords and clubs, sent from the chief priests and elders of the people.
48 Nonm ki t'ap trayi Jezi a te ba yo yon siyal. Li te di yo: Moun n'a wè mwen bo a, se li menm n'ap chache a. Mete men sou li.
Now the betrayer had arranged a signal with them. ‘The man whom I kiss,’ he had said, ‘will be the one; arrest him.’
49 Rive Jida rive, li pwoche bò kote Jezi, li di li: Bonswa, Mèt. Epi l' bo Jezi.
So he went up to Jesus at once, and exclaimed, ‘Welcome, Rabbi!’ and kissed him;
50 Jezi di li: Zanmi, sa ou te vin pou fè a, fè li. Lè sa a, lòt moun yo pwoche, yo mete men sou Jezi, yo arete li.
at which Jesus said to him, ‘Friend, do what you have come for.’ The men went up, seized Jesus, and arrested him.
51 Yonn nan mesye ki te avèk Jezi yo rale nepe l', li frape domestik granprèt la, li koupe yon zòrèy li.
Suddenly one of those who were with Jesus stretched out his hand, and drew his sword, and striking the high priest’s servant, cut off his ear.
52 Jezi di l' konsa: Mete nepe ou nan fouwo l'; paske tout moun ki sèvi ak nepe, se nepe k'ap touye yo tou.
‘Sheathe your sword,’ Jesus said, ‘for all who draw the sword will be put to the sword.
53 Ou pa konnen mwen ta ka rele Papa m' vin ede mwen. Menm lè a, li ta voye depase douz lame zanj ban mwen.
Do you think that I cannot ask my Father for help, when he would at once send to my aid more than twelve legions of angels?
54 Men lè sa a, ki jan sa ki ekri nan Liv la ta ka rive vre? Paske Liv la di: Se konsa pou sa pase.
But in that case how would the scriptures be fulfilled, which say that this must be?’
55 Apre sa, Jezi di foul moun yo: Nou vin dèyè m' ak nepe ak baton tankou si m' te yon ansasen. Toulejou mwen te chita la nan tanp lan, ap moutre moun yo anpil bagay, nou pa t' janm arete mwen.
Jesus at the same time said to the crowds, ‘Have you come out, as if after a robber, with swords and clubs, to take me? I have sat teaching day after day in the Temple Courts, and yet you did not arrest me.’
56 Men, tou sa rive pou sa ki ekri nan liv pwofèt yo ka rive vre. Lè sa a, tout disip yo kite l', yo pran kouri.
The whole of this occurred in fulfilment of the prophetic scriptures. Then the disciples all forsook him and fled.
57 Moun ki te arete Jezi yo mennen l' kay Kayif, granprèt la. Se la tout dirèktè lalwa yo ansanm ak chèf fanmi yo te reyini.
Those who had arrested Jesus took him to Caiaphas, the high priest, where the teachers of the Law and elders had assembled.
58 Pyè t'ap swiv Jezi yon ti jan lwen lwen, jouk yo rive nan lakou kay granprèt la. Li antre nan lakou a tou, li chita ak gad yo pou l' wè kouman sa t'apral fini.
Peter followed him at a distance as far as the high priest’s courtyard, to see the outcome.
59 Chèf prèt yo ak tout manm Gran Konsèy jwif yo t'ap chache yon manti pou yo te fè sou Jezi, pou yo te ka kondannen l' amò.
Meanwhile the chief priests and the whole of the High Council were trying to get such false evidence against Jesus, as would warrant putting him to death,
60 Men, yo pa t' kapab jwenn anyen malgre anpil moun te vin fè anpil manti sou li.
but they did not find any, although many came forward with false evidence. Later on, however, two men came forward and said,
61 Bout pou bout, de moun parèt. Yo di: Nonm sa a di: Mwen kapab kraze tanp Bondye a, epi nan twa jou m'a rebati l' ban nou.
‘This man said “I am able to destroy the Temple of God, and to build it in three days.”’
62 Granprèt la leve, li di Jezi: Ou pa reponn anyen? Kisa mesye yo ap di sou ou konsa?
Then the high priest stood up, and said to Jesus, ‘Have you no answer? What is this evidence which these men are giving against you?’
63 Jezi pa louvri bouch li. Granprèt la di l' ankò: Nan non Bondye vivan an, m'ap mande ou pou di nou verite a: Eske se ou ki Kris la, Pitit Bondye a?
But Jesus remained silent. The high priest said to him, ‘I order you, by the living God, to tell us whether you are the Christ, the Son of God.’
64 Jezi reponn li: Se ou ki di li. Men, m'ap di nou sa, depi jòdi a n'a wè m', mwen menm, Moun Bondye voye nan lachè a, chita sou bò dwat Bondye ki gen pouvwa a, n'a wè m' ap vini sou nwaj yo nan syèl la.
‘It is true,’ Jesus answered, ‘Moreover I tell you all that hereafter you will see the Son of Man sitting on the right hand of the Almighty, and coming on the clouds of the heavens.’
65 Lè sa a, granprèt la chire rad ki te sou li a, li di: L'ap pale mal sou Bondye. Sa nou bezwen lòt temwen fè: Nou fèk tande ak zòrèy nou jan l' pale mal sou Bondye.
Then the high priest tore his robes. ‘This is blasphemy!’ he exclaimed. ‘Why do we want any more witnesses? You have just heard his blasphemy!
66 Kisa nou di nan sa? Yo reponn: Li antò, se pou yo touye li.
What is your decision?’ They answered, ‘He deserves death.’
67 Lè sa a, yo pran krache nan figi l', yo tonbe ba l' kout pwen. Gen ladan yo ki ba l' souflèt.
Then they spat in his face, and struck him, while others dealt blows at him, saying as they did so,
68 Yo di li: Kris, si ou konnen, di nou non! Di nou ki moun k'ap frape ou konsa.
‘Now play the prophet for us, you Christ! Who was it that struck you?’
69 Pyè menm te chita deyò nan lakou a. Yon sèvant pwoche bò kote l', li di li konsa: Ou menm tou, ou te avèk Jezi, nonm Galile a.
Peter, meanwhile, was sitting outside in the courtyard; and a maidservant came up to him, and exclaimed, ‘Why, you were with Jesus the Galilean!’
70 Men, Pyè demanti l' devan tout moun, li di: Mwen pa konnen sa w'ap di la a.
But Peter denied it before them all. ‘I do not know what you mean,’ he replied.
71 Apre sa, Pyè leve, li ale bò pòtay lakou a. La, yon lòt sèvant wè li. Li di moun ki te la yo: Nonm sa a te avèk Jezi, nonm Nazarèt la.
When he had gone out into the gateway, another maid saw him, and said to those who were there, ‘This man was with Jesus of Nazareth!’
72 Pyè demanti l' tou, li di: M'ap fè sèman, mwen pa konnen nonm sa a.
Again he denied it with an oath, ‘I do not know the man!’
73 Yon ti kadè apre, moun ki te la yo pwoche, yo di Pyè konsa: Se vre wi, monchè. Ou fè pati moun sa yo tou. Jan ou pale a fè nou rekonèt ou.
But soon afterwards those who were standing by came up and said to Peter, ‘You also are certainly one of them; why, even your way of speaking proves it!’
74 Lè sa a, Pyè pran fè sèman, li di yo: Mwen mande Bondye pou nenpòt bagay rive m' si m' manti: Mwen di nou non, mwen pa konnen nonm sa a. Menm lè a, kòk chante.
Then Peter said, ‘I swear that I do not know the man! May God punish me if I am lying!’ At that moment a cock crowed;
75 Latou, Pyè vin chonje pawòl Jezi te di l' la: Anvan kòk chante, ou va gen tan di twa fwa ou pa janm konnen mwen. Pyè soti, li tonbe kriye jouk li pa t' kapab ankò.
and Peter remembered the words which Jesus had said – “Before a cock has crowed, you will disown me three times”; and he went outside, and wept bitterly.
